AI BriefingClaude Code Local LLM Integration Tool Released
Key point
claudely, an open-source tool that lets you connect local LLMs while keeping Claude Code's ecosystem, has been released.
Details
An open-source tool called claudely has been released that lets you use local LLM environments like LM Studio, Ollama, llama.cpp instead of the Anthropic API, while keeping Claude Code's powerful features (MCP servers, plugins, slash commands, etc.) intact.
With other existing CLI coding agents, it was difficult to leverage Claude Code's ecosystem when supporting local models, but claudely keeps Claude Code itself as the client while automatically adjusting the base URL and authentication settings to fit the local environment.
Key features include:
- Ecosystem preserved: All of Claude Code's plugins, skills, and MCP servers can be used as-is
- Performance optimization: Fixed a prompt cache bug that was degrading local model speed by about 90%
- Easy switching: Switch between local and cloud APIs on a per-session basis without modifying the existing
claudecommand - Broad support: Supports LM Studio, Ollama, llama.cpp, and Anthropic-compatible endpoints such as vLLM
