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
