OCP v3.5.0: Zero-Config LAN Sharing — Your Family Can Use Claude in 30 Seconds

#ai #claude #productivity #opensource

The Problem

You're paying for Claude Pro/Max. Your family wants to use AI tools too. Do you:

  • Buy separate subscriptions for everyone? 💸
  • Share your login? (against ToS)
  • Set up a proxy... but make everyone configure API keys?

The Solution: OCP v3.5.0

OCP (Open Claude Proxy) turns your Claude subscription into a standard OpenAI-compatible API. v3.5.0 makes sharing effortless:

Zero-Config for Everyone

Before (v3.4): Admin creates keys → shares keys → each person configures env vars → hope they don't mess it up.

Now (v3.5): Family member runs one command. Done.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dtzp555-max/ocp/main/ocp-connect | bash -s -- 192.168.1.100
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

No keys. No Node.js. No repo clone. Just curl + python3 (already on every Mac/Linux).

How It Works 

Wife's laptop   ──┐
Son's iPad      ───┼──→ OCP (your Mac mini) ──→ Claude subscription
Your Pi server  ───┤
Your desktop    ──┘
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  1. Server (one-time, on an always-on device): 
git clone https://github.com/dtzp555-max/ocp.git && cd ocp
node setup.mjs --bind 0.0.0.0
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  1. Each client (30 seconds): 
curl -fsSL .../ocp-connect | bash -s -- <server-ip>
source ~/.bashrc
# Done. Claude works in any IDE now.
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Optional: Per-User Tracking

Want to see who's using how much? Keys are optional — create them when you want tracking:

ocp keys add wife-laptop
ocp keys add son-ipad
ocp usage --by-key
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Or just check the web dashboard at http://<server-ip>:3456/dashboard.

What Else is New

  • Localhost = admin — no token needed on the server machine
  • Dashboard URL auth — share ?token=xxx links directly
  • authMode in /health — clients can detect auth requirements programmatically

Works With Everything

Any tool that speaks OpenAI protocol: Cline, OpenCode, Aider, Continue.dev, OpenClaw, and more.

$0 extra cost. One subscription. Whole household.
