# ZeroKey

> Self-hosted, personal-use OpenAI-compatible AI proxy for DeepSeek, Claude, and ChatGPT. Uses your own browser session — no API keys, no shared accounts, no relay servers.

ZeroKey turns a browser session you already have (DeepSeek, Claude, or ChatGPT, logged in normally) into a local `http://localhost:7250/v1` endpoint that any OpenAI-compatible client can call — including VS Code Chat, Terax, and OpenCode. It runs entirely on your machine. There is no hosted version, no shared account pool, and no telemetry.

## Is it safe?

- ZeroKey does not ask for or store your password. You capture a `fetch()` request from your own browser's DevTools (Network tab) and paste it into the setup wizard — ZeroKey only ever sees the session cookie you choose to share.
- Nothing is uploaded anywhere. Session data is written to `temp/users.json` on your own disk (gitignored) and never leaves your machine.
- ZeroKey does not create access, bypass authentication, or provide shared/commercial access to any provider. You use only your own account.
- You are responsible for complying with each provider's (DeepSeek, Claude, ChatGPT) Terms of Service — ZeroKey does not make that determination for you.
- Source is open and inspectable: https://github.com/downloaddoctor/zerokey
- License: ZeroKey Non-Commercial License — personal use only.

## How to start (under 2 minutes)

1. Install: `git clone https://github.com/downloaddoctor/zerokey.git && cd zerokey && pnpm install && pnpm start` — or download a one-click launcher (`zerokey.bat` / `zerokey.sh`) from https://github.com/downloaddoctor/zerokey/releases/latest
2. Run the interactive wizard: pick a **Provider** (DeepSeek, Claude, or ChatGPT), paste a `fetch()` copied from that provider's DevTools Network tab as your **User**, then pick or create a **Session**.
3. Point your IDE at `http://localhost:7250/v1` with `Authorization: Bearer <vscode|terax|opencode>`.

## Key facts
