What is oauth-coder-bridge?
The oauth-coder-bridge is a specialized utility designed for the Openclaw Skills ecosystem that facilitates communication between your AI agent and the Anthropic Claude CLI. By acting as a local HTTP proxy, it translates standard API messages into CLI commands handled by the oauth-coder wrapper. This allows developers to leverage their existing Claude Pro or Team subscriptions through OAuth authentication, bypassing the need for per-token billing associated with traditional API keys.
This bridge ensures a seamless developer experience by mimicking the Anthropic API structure while running entirely on your local machine. It is an essential tool for those looking to integrate high-performance models like Claude 3.5 Sonnet or Opus into their automated workflows without the overhead of API management.
oauth-coder-bridge Use Cases
- Developers wanting to use Openclaw Skills without maintaining or paying for separate Anthropic API keys.
- Automating tasks using Claude 3.7 Sonnet or Opus via the official CLI toolchain.
- Running local AI agent workflows that require high-context windows supported by the Claude OAuth interface.
- Testing and prototyping Openclaw Skills integrations using a subscription-based model rather than usage-based billing.
How oauth-coder-bridge Works
- The OpenClaw agent sends a standard Anthropic-formatted JSON request to the bridge's local endpoint (default port 8787).
- The oauth-coder-bridge receives the payload and parses the prompt, model selection, and parameters.
- The bridge executes a subprocess command using the oauth-coder binary, passing the prompt through the authenticated CLI session.
- The real claude CLI processes the request via OAuth tokens and returns the text response.
- The bridge captures the output and packages it back into a JSON format compatible with Openclaw Skills for the agent to consume.
oauth-coder-bridge Setup
To get started with this component of Openclaw Skills, ensure you have the oauth-coder binary installed and authenticated via claude login. Then run the following commands:
# Run the setup script to install the bridge and configure OpenClaw
bash scripts/setup.sh
# Start the bridge server locally
python3 ~/.openclaw/scripts/oauth-coder-bridge.py &
# Verify the connection
curl http://127.0.0.1:8787/health
oauth-coder-bridge Data Schema & Taxonomy
The bridge manages request flow and configuration through environment variables and local endpoints. Data is organized as follows:
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Models | Prefixed with claude-cli/ (e.g., claude-cli/claude-3-7-sonnet-latest) |
| Endpoints | /health for status, /v1/messages for Anthropic compatibility |
| Configuration | Managed via OAUTH_CODER_BRIDGE_PORT and OAUTH_CODER_BIN paths |
| Logging | Local stderr or optional file-based logging for request history |
oauth-coder-bridge Advanced Features
- Support for the latest Anthropic models including Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 3.7 within Openclaw Skills.
- Built-in rate limiting (30 requests per minute) to prevent session throttling during heavy automation.
- Configurable prompt length limits up to 100,000 characters to handle large codebases.
- Systemd service integration for persistent background operation on Linux/macOS environments.
- Automatic model aliasing for easy switching between different Claude versions.
