Developer Builds Proxy to Route Claude Code Through Existing Kiro Subscription
A developer created a local proxy tool called kiro-gateway-next to avoid paying for two separate AI subscriptions that use the same underlying Claude models. Both Claude Code and Kiro run on Anthropic's Claude models but use different API formats, making them incompatible by default. The workaround exploits Claude Code's ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL environment variable, redirecting its requests to a locally running translator that reformats them for the Kiro API. The six-step setup involves cloning a GitHub repository, configuring a Python proxy server, and updating a Claude Code settings file — taking roughly five minutes to complete. Users with eligible Kiro plans can also access the claude-opus-4-8 model with a one-million-token context window through this setup.
