Route Claude Code through TokenBeaver's local gateway — same answers, fewer tokens. Works whether you're on an API key or a Claude subscription (Pro or Max).
With the CLI installed, run:
tokenbeaver-gateway --install-claude-hooks
That installs Claude Code hooks and a local restore helper. Start a new Claude Code session and you're routed — nothing else to configure.
Using the extension instead? It wires Claude Code from the status bar — no terminal needed. The gateway install of hooks happens for you when it starts.
Use Claude Code as normal. tokenbeaver-gateway --status shows requests flowing, and your dashboard shows what each session saves. If the gateway is ever unavailable, requests fail open and go directly to Anthropic, so your workflow never breaks.
Want it out? tokenbeaver-gateway --uninstall-claude-hooks removes everything. Hooks acting up after an update? Run --install-claude-hooks again, or TokenBeaver: Repair Claude Code Hooks in VS Code.
