Show HN: Run Claude Code CLI with Azure&open source LLMs saving costs

Hi HN

Claude Code CLI assumes the native Anthropic API, so it breaks or loses features when you try to run it with other LLMs on Databricks or Azure-hosted models or OpenRouter and other Ollama Models(no MCP, limited tools, streaming issues).

I built Lynkr, an open-source compatibility proxy that lets Claude Code run unchanged on all the LLM's

What it does:

Emulates Anthropic’s protocol Claude Code expects

Restores MCP server support

It has hierarchical routing mechanism where you can configure multiples LLMs as a fallback to save costs

Enables Git + repo intelligence tools

Normalizes streaming/tool calling behavior

Sub agents

Implements Agentic context environment Framework

and several other features

Works without forking or modifying Claude Code
