A CLI wrapper that enhances Claude Code with fast, lossless search via MCP, automatic fallback to other models on rate limits or quality drops, and cost‑aware usage tracking.

What is this?

ClaudeFlow is a CLI tool that enhances Claude Code with fast, lossless search via MCP, automatic fallback to other models on rate limits or quality drops, and cost-aware usage tracking. It provides developers with a more reliable, uninterrupted coding experience with predictable costs and minimal friction.

$ cloudeflow code "write a function to reverse a string"
def reverse_string(s):
    return s[::-1]

Problem

Developers using Claude Code encounter slow, lossy search summarization that relies on Haiku, frequent quality regressions in newer Opus versions, disruptive rate limits that break coding flow, and concerns about cost and account bans. These pain points force users to constantly switch tools, re-explain context, or seek unreliable alternatives.

Features

Feature	Description
Fast, Lossless Search	Perform fast, lossless search using MCP to enhance Claude Code's search capabilities.
Automatic Fallback	Automatically switch to a different model when Claude Code encounters rate limits or quality drops.
Cost-Aware Usage Tracking	Track the usage of different models to provide cost-aware insights.
CLI Interface	User-friendly CLI interface for seamless integration into your development workflow.
Local Data Storage	Store local data and logs to ensure privacy and reduce dependency on external services.

Quick Start

1. Clone the repository:

   $ git clone https://github.com/yourusername/claudeflow.git
   $ cd claudeflow

2. Install the required dependencies:

   $ pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Run your first command:

   $ cloudeflow code "write a function to reverse a string"
   def reverse_string(s):
       return s[::-1]

Examples

Basic Code Generation

$ cloudeflow code "write a function to reverse a string"
def reverse_string(s):
    return s[::-1]

Handling Rate Limits

$ cloudeflow code "write a function to reverse a string" --model=primary
Falling back to alternate model...
def reverse_string(s):
    return s[::-1]

Cost Tracking

$ cloudeflow stats
Primary Model: 10 requests, $0.50
Backup Model: 5 requests, $0.25
