macOS
curl -fsSL https://usecoded.com/install | bash usecoded
START HERE
Install. Start the proxy. Point your agent at localhost.
Two commands per platform. Leave that terminal running — it is the PAYG proxy on 127.0.0.1:8080. Your agent runs in a second window.
Linux
curl -fsSL https://usecoded.com/install | bash usecoded
Windows
npm i -g usecoded@latest usecoded
SECOND TERMINAL — AGENT SHELL
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1" export OPENAI_BASE_URL="http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1"
WHAT IT DOES
Stop paying twice for the same prompt.
Agents send the same system prompt every turn. usecoded keeps it stable on localhost so cache can hit. Nothing leaves your machine except the request to your provider.
PROOF OF WORK
Cache hits you can inspect.
Mistral probe through localhost — proxy on the left, turns on the right. Hit rate shows up on curl -s localhost:8080/stats.
