WindsurfAPI: The Ultimate Self-Hosted AI Model Gateway for 100+ Models
WindsurfAPI is a zero-dependency reverse proxy that bridges 100+ AI models into OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini-compatible APIs. Learn how this self-hosted gateway works and why it matters.
What Is WindsurfAPI?
WindsurfAPI is a zero-dependency, self-hosted reverse proxy that bridges over 100 AI models from Windsurf and Devin Desktop — including Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, DeepSeek, Kimi, GLM, and SWE — into OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini-compatible API endpoints. It's designed for developers who want to route their AI tooling through a private, self-managed gateway instead of relying on third-party services.

The modern AI landscape is fragmented. Different tools support different API formats — OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini — and switching between them means rewriting code. WindsurfAPI solves this by acting as a universal translator:
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| 100+ AI Models | Access Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, DeepSeek, Kimi, GLM, SWE, and more through a single interface |
| Three API Formats | OpenAI-compatible, Anthropic-compatible, and Gemini-compatible endpoints |
| Zero Dependencies | No Python, no Node.js, no external packages — just a single binary |
| Self-Hosted | Full data privacy — your API calls never leave your infrastructure |
| Tool Compatible | Works with Claude Code, Cline, Cursor, and any OpenAI/Anthropic SDK |
Who Is It For?
WindsurfAPI is ideal for:
- AI Developers who need to test different models without changing their codebase
- Teams that want a centralized, private gateway for all their AI API calls
- Power Users of Windsurf and Devin Desktop who want to expose those models as standard APIs
- Self-Hosting Enthusiasts who prefer keeping their AI infrastructure under their own control
