Shunt is a local proxy that combines your Claude Code accounts into one endpoint. It auto-routes every request to the account with the most headroom, fails over silently when one hits a limit, and holds your connection open until capacity frees up — your agent session never sees a 429.

Works with: Claude Code · Cursor · Codex CLI · Windsurf · any OpenAI or Anthropic SDK

Providers: Anthropic · OpenAI · Gemini · Groq · Mistral · DeepSeek · OpenRouter · Together · Fireworks · Ollama · local models

Install

macOS / Linux — one command:

curl -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ramc10/shunt/main/install.sh | sh

via Cargo

cargo install shunt-proxy

Quick start

shunt setup      # import your Claude Code session + configure your shell
shunt start      # start the proxy

That's it. Claude Code and your other tools route through shunt automatically.

Add more accounts to grow your pool:

shunt add-account personal   # another Claude account (OAuth)
shunt add-account work       # another Claude account
shunt add-account codex      # ChatGPT Pro (device-code flow)
shunt add-account groq       # Groq (prompts for API key)

What shunt does

Combines your rate limits

N accounts = N × the limit you already pay for. Three Claude Pro accounts means three 5-hour windows and three 7-day windows, pooled and automatically load-balanced.

Fails over silently

When an account hits its limit, the next request goes to whichever account has capacity. No 429 errors, no broken loops. If every account is drained, shunt holds the connection open and retries the moment the first one resets.
