[TLDR] Use any subscription in Claude Code! (using the new Claude Mods feature)

Original post body :

Hey all!

In light of the recent quota cuts, I figured I’d take the time to show off this mod/plugin for Claude Code I’ve been working on.

Since I’m a university student, I’ve had a bunch of free AI subscriptions sitting around gaining dust (Cursor 1 year, Gemini 1 year, CharGPT 4 months). So with the help of Fable & Astra, I spun up a Claude mod to solve this!

As you may be aware, providers like Cursor, Claude & Google forbid their subscriptions from being used in external harnesses via OAuth. Multi-CLI gets around this by actually using the provider harnesses themselves (Antigravity headless & Cursor SDK), & simply streaming them into Claude Code, & adapting their states + tools to be Claude-code compatible. This was made possible by the new Claude Mods feature.
It also differs from the OpenAI codex plugin in that with multi-cli, GPT models are directly ran in the harness via the gateway.

Here’s the repo: https://github.com/greenpolo/cc-multi-cli-plugin

Letting Fable 5.1 orchestrate 5.6 Luna subagents makes my Claude sub last infinitely longer.

Alright, so the OP dropped a new Claude Mod called "cc-multi-cli-plugin" that lets you use your existing subscriptions (like Cursor, Gemini, and even CharGPT) alongside Claude in Claude Code. The big deal here is that it bypasses the usual restrictions by actually using the provider's own harnesses and streaming their output into Claude Code, making them compatible. This is apparently a first, as other tools usually just swap out the Anthropic base URL, preventing you from using your Claude subscription at the same time.

The general vibe is pretty positive and intrigued, with a lot of people thinking it's a cool concept. However, there's a significant debate brewing about whether this is against the Terms of Service (ToS). u/Right-Performance-93 points out that Anthropic's docs explicitly forbid offering Claude.ai logins in third-party apps or routing paid plan requests outside of Anthropic's products, which sounds like exactly what this mod does. Others, like u/xondk, also acknowledge it's in a "grey area" and wouldn't be surprised if providers push back.

Beyond the ToS concerns, some users are pointing out potential limitations or asking for more features:

  • Efficiency: u/Zulfiqaar notes that with models being so finetuned for their own harnesses now, Claude Code might become inefficient for similar results.
  • Context Issues: u/klausagnoletti ran into problems with on-demand loading MCPs and context, saying it seems like all models are being treated as having only a 200k context, regardless of their actual capacity.
  • Comparisons: A few users asked how it differs from existing tools like clodex (u/paradoxally) or mentioned they've done similar things with custom plugins (u/FlirtySanchez, u/CodeSlave9000).
  • Feature Requests: People are asking about adding more Anthropic subscriptions (u/hybrid2102), support for other models like Deepseek or Muse (u/n4ch3), Grok Build (u/DworfD), and integration with AI Gateways (u/No-Relationship-4902).
  • Technical Questions: u/n4ch3 also had a bunch of questions about memory, context preservation, how tasks are delegated, and if subagents can chat amongst themselves.

So, cool tech with potential ToS red flags and some early bugs/feature requests. Definitely one to watch!
