From the README

Official Edgee CLI — route your coding agents through Edgee and take control of token spend.

Coding agents are the fastest-growing line item in most engineering budgets — and the least visible
one. Edgee is an Agent Gateway: it sits between your agents and the LLM providers, and
intercepts, routes, compresses, meters, and secures every request. No code change in your projects,
no change to how your agents work.

This repository ships the edgee command-line tool. Install it, sign in, and launch your coding
agent — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code + Copilot, and more. Setup takes about five minutes.

The production gateway (routing, compression, metering, billing, observability) is operated by Edgee
and is not built from this repo. Self-hosting is not supported here.

Why Edgee

- Smart routing and budgets. Send work to the right model for the job, with fallbacks when your
  primary model errors or rate-limits, and reroutes to cheaper open-weight models when it doesn't
  need to be expensive — mid-task, without losing quality.
- Visibility your finance team will ask for. Token cost and usage tracked per developer, repo,
  PR, model, and environment — not per anonymous API key.
- Token compression. Tool outputs (file listings, build logs, test results, …) are trimmed
  gateway-side before they reach the model. Same answers, leaner context, smaller bill.
- Drop-in for coding agents. edgee launch claude (or edgee alias) points your agent at
  Edgee. Works with every provider plan, including consumer subscriptions — not just API credits.
- Rust-native CLI. Fast install, small footprint, macOS, Linux, and Windows.

Together that's up to 70% off your token bill, with the control and reporting engineering
leaders need to keep agent adoption growing without the spend growing…
