Proxy Gateway

Proxy Gateway

Swixter includes a local proxy gateway that can intercept and route API requests from AI coders.

start

Start the proxy server.

swixter proxy start

The proxy listens on a local port (default: auto-assigned) and forwards requests to the configured provider’s API. This lets you:

• Inspect traffic: View request/response logs
• Switch backends: Change the provider without restarting the coder
• Add headers: Inject custom authentication or routing headers

stop

Stop the running proxy server.

swixter proxy stop

status

Check if the proxy is running.

swixter proxy status

Shows which coders are connected, the proxy port, and the active backend.

logs

View proxy traffic logs.

swixter proxy logs

Shows recent requests with timing, status codes, and response sizes.

How It Works

AI Coder → proxy (localhost:PORT) → Provider API
                ↓
          logs + monitoring

The proxy intercepts API calls from your AI coding assistant and forwards them to the actual provider. This enables transparent switching between providers without changing coder configuration.

Configuration

Proxy settings are stored in ~/.config/swixter/config.json under the proxy key:

{
  "proxy": {
    "port": 0,
    "autoStart": false,
    "logLevel": "info"
  }
}

Option	Description	Default
port	Port to listen on (0 = auto)	0
autoStart	Start proxy on profile apply	false
logLevel	Logging verbosity	"info"
