Hi HN, I work at TrueFoundry.
We built Aitori because AI traffic is getting harder for companies to control.
When developers call an LLM API directly, the request can be routed through a gateway. But tools like Claude Desktop, ChatGPT app, claude.ai call the model from the vendor’s backend. There is no endpoint setting you can point to your proxy.
Aitori is an open-source local proxy that runs on the employee’s machine and intercepts traffic to selected AI applications.
It uses a per-device CA, similar to mitmproxy, to inspect model and MCP requests and forward them to a gateway. Traffic to other applications is left untouched.
Once you can see the traffic, it stops being a black box. You can log it, apply policy, route it, or do whatever else you would with AI traffic you control.
It's Apache-2.0, and the forwarding contract is documented so it works with any gateway, not just ours: https://github.com/truefoundry/aitori/
Try it: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/truefoundry/aitori/main/in... | sh then
sudo aitori up --ui Around all day to answer any questions.
