ccr codex-auth / ccr qwen-auth

Authentication commands for provider backends that require OAuth or JWT tokens.

ccr codex-auth​

Authenticate with the Codex (ChatGPT) backend API via OpenAI OAuth with PKCE.

ccr codex-auth

How It Works​

  1. The CLI generates a PKCE challenge and prints an authorization URL from auth.openai.com
  2. It starts a callback server on http://localhost:1455/auth/callback
  3. You open the URL in your browser and sign into your OpenAI / ChatGPT account
  4. OpenAI redirects to the callback server, which exchanges the authorization code for tokens
  5. Tokens are saved to ~/.claude-code-router/codex_auth.json
  6. The codex transformer reads the token and uses it for API requests
  7. When the token nears expiry, it's refreshed automatically using the refresh token

Prerequisites​

ccr qwen-auth​

Opens a browser-based auth page at http://localhost:3456/qwen/auth for token management.

ccr qwen-auth

How It Works​

  1. The command tells you to open http://localhost:3456/qwen/auth in your browser (or you can navigate there directly)
  2. On the auth page, use the bookmarklet (recommended) or paste a token manually:
    • Bookmarklet: Drag "Get Qwen Token" to your bookmarks bar, open chat.qwen.ai, and click it — the token is sent back automatically
    • Manual: Run copy(localStorage.getItem('token')) in chat.qwen.ai DevTools Console, then paste on the auth page
  3. The token is validated against Qwen's API and saved to ~/.claude-code-router/qwen_auth.json
  4. Automatic token rotation — expired tokens are detected on the next request

Prerequisites​

  • A Qwen Chat account and access to qwen.aikit.club
