claude-tap is a local proxy and trace viewer for AI coding agents. Run your CLI through it, or listen to local app transcripts, then inspect the real API traffic and agent context: system prompts, conversation history, tool schemas, tool calls, streaming responses, token usage, and request diffs.

It works with Claude Code, Codex CLI, Codex App, Gemini CLI, Grok Build CLI, Kimi CLI, MiMo Code, OpenCode, OpenClaw, Pi, Hermes Agent, Cursor CLI, Qoder CLI, Antigravity CLI, and CodeBuddy CLI.
| Client | Typical use |
|---|---|
| Claude Code | Anthropic API, AWS Bedrock, Claude-compatible gateways such as DeepSeek / GLM, or local proxy upstreams such as CC Switch |
| Codex CLI | OpenAI API key mode or ChatGPT subscription OAuth |
| Codex App | Desktop app launched through forward proxy mode so backend HTTP/WebSocket request bodies are captured |
| Gemini CLI | Google OAuth / Code Assist traffic |
| Grok Build CLI | Grok subscription OAuth sessions through the official CLI chat proxy |
| DeepSeek Harness | dsh headless tasks and custom profiles using DeepSeek or compatible gateways |
| Kimi CLI | Legacy kimi-cli and the newer Kimi Code CLI |
| MiMo Code | MiMo Code sessions (OpenCode fork with multi-provider support) |
| OpenCode | Multi-provider OpenCode sessions |
| OpenClaw | Multi-provider OpenClaw sessions |
| Pi | Pi sessions, including OpenAI Codex OAuth providers |
| Hermes Agent | Multi-provider Hermes TUI or gateway sessions |
| Cursor CLI / IDE Agent | Launch cursor-agent + live transcript watch (claude-tap --tap-client cursor) |
| Qoder CLI | Qoder Agent sessions through forward proxy mode |
| Antigravity CLI | Antigravity Agent sessions through forward proxy mode |
| CodeBuddy CLI | Tencent CodeBuddy SaaS or internal Copilot endpoint |
Requires Python 3.11+ and the client you want to trace.
# Recommended
uv tool install claude-tap
# Or with pip
pip install claude-tap
Upgrade: claude-tap update, uv tool upgrade claude-tap, or pip install --upgrade claude-tap
Run the client you want to inspect through claude-tap. Flags after -- are passed to the selected client.

claude-tap auto-detects custom Claude Code upstreams from ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL,
ANTHROPIC_BEDROCK_BASE_URL, or ANTHROPIC_VERTEX_BASE_URL in your environment
or Claude settings. Use --tap-target only when you want to override that
detected target.
Local proxy upstreams are supported too: if a tool such as CC Switch points Claude Code at a local ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL, claude-tap detects that value from Claude settings and records the traffic before forwarding it upstream. Use claude-tap in place of claude, such as claude-tap -- <claude-args>; no separate --tap-client value is needed.
For the Claude Code VS Code extension, set Claude Code: Claude Process Wrapper to claude-tap; on Windows, use the full claude-tap.exe path if VS Code cannot find it.
