  ## Project Overview
  
  A reverse-engineered proxy for the GitHub Copilot API that exposes it as an OpenAI and Anthropic compatible service. This allows you to use GitHub Copilot with any tool that supports the OpenAI Chat Completions API or the Anthropic Messages API, including to power Claude Code.

  ## Comparison to other API proxies
  
  Unlike general-purpose LLM API gateways (e.g., LiteLLM, OpenRouter) or local LLM runners (e.g., Ollama, LocalAI), Copilot API Proxy is specifically designed to expose GitHub Copilot's capabilities through standard OpenAI/Anthropic interfaces, enabling its use with tools that expect these APIs while leveraging your existing Copilot subscription.
