Token-based billing scales faster than your budget. One runaway prompt, one unmonitored team — and your monthly burn goes vertical. Tokenizer puts a hard ceiling on the spend.

Clone, install, configure. The proxy runs as a standalone Node.js service on your infrastructure. Point opencode or Claude Code at the proxy URL and the whole team is guarded.
Requires Node 18+ and an Anthropic API key.
# set the proxy as your API base ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://proxy:3001/proxy" X_ENGINEER_ID="your-name" # run Claude Code through it claude # or configure opencode opencode config set anthropicBaseUrl https://proxy:3001/proxy
Works with opencode, Claude Code — any tool targeting the Anthropic API.
