Secure CLI for managing Claude Code API providers with age (X25519) encryption, multi-provider support, and audit logging.

Prerequisites

Required: Claude Code CLI

Kairo acts as a wrapper around Claude Code CLI to enable multi-provider support. You need to install Claude Code first.

Install Claude Code:

• Visit: https://claude.com/product/claude-code

• Or via package managers:

  # Homebrew (macOS)
  brew install --cask claude-code
  
  # npm
  npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
  

Verify installation:

claude --version

Quick Start

Install

Platform	Command
Linux/macOS	curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dkmnx/kairo/main/scripts/install.sh | sh
Windows	irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dkmnx/kairo/main/scripts/install.ps1 | iex

Manual Installation | Build from Source

Setup

# Interactive setup
kairo setup

# Configure a provider
kairo config zai

# Test provider
kairo test zai

# Switch and query
