Terminal-based completions with Claude Code

Pipe `chat_completions` results directly into your shell scripts. Claude Code uses this to generate logs or documentation without a browser. It handles the request execution as a background job. You get the output back as plain text for further processing.

List models using Claude Code

Execute `list_models` to see your LibreChat inventory from the command line. It returns a clean list of available agents for your pipeline. You can grep the output to find specific agent IDs. This is useful for automating model selection in CI/CD jobs.

Authenticate LibreChat via CLI

Run `login` via the terminal to get your session tokens. Claude Code stores these in your local config, allowing headless operation. Once logged in, the server handles all subsequent API calls. Your scripts can run unattended until the task finishes.
