Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI are useful, but their provider config should not be scattered across every tool.
CliGate consolidates provider config for AI CLIs via single localhost gateway (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, OpenClaw), eliminating scattered setups. Separates routing from tool config, enabling painless provider switches and centralizing API key, cost, and fallback visibility.
AI coding tools keep getting better.
The setup around them keeps getting worse.
Claude Code wants one style of config. Codex CLI wants another. Gemini CLI has its own path. OpenClaw has a different provider file again. Each tool makes sense in isolation. Together, they turn provider management into a small pile of duplicated state.
That was the part I wanted to stop.
