# AI Command Center > A dependency-free LLM gateway and self-hosted usage & cost dashboard. Point any > project at it (any language, one command) and it captures tokens, cost, latency, > and errors per project. Provider API keys pass through untouched; prompt and > response bodies are never stored - metadata only. Install and run: - `npx ai-command-center` starts the gateway + dashboard at http://localhost:4321 - `npx ai-command-center demo` seeds 14 days of realistic sample data - Node.js >= 18.17 is the only prerequisite; the gateway has zero runtime dependencies Integrate (change a base URL, keep your API key): - OpenAI-compatible: `http://localhost:4321/p//openai/v1` - Anthropic: `http://localhost:4321/p//anthropic` - Gemini: `http://localhost:4321/p//gemini` - Also: openrouter, mistral, deepseek, xai, groq, together, ollama, and custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints - Or set the SDK's standard env var (OPENAI_BASE_URL / ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL / GOOGLE_GEMINI_BASE_URL) - zero code change - Group calls by project via the `/p//` path segment or an `x-aicc-project` header - With auth enabled the path becomes `/k//…` (the key authenticates and sets the project) - Group a request/agent run into a session with an `x-aicc-trace` header; track prompts with `x-aicc-prompt` / `x-aicc-prompt-version` - Report usage the proxy can't see with `POST /api/track` (JSON: project, provider, model, tokensIn, tokensOut, trace?, prompt?, promptVersion?) Dashboard views: Overview (cost/usage/latency), Traces (sessions), Prompts (version metrics), Models (comparison), Alerts (budgets + anomalies). What it is: self-hosted, language-agnostic dashboard for cost, usage, traces, prompt versions, budgets and anomaly alerts; a transparent single-upstream proxy. What it is NOT (by design): a distributed span-tree tracer, an LLM-as-judge eval framework, a prompt playground, or a routing/failover gateway. ## Docs - Overview: https://aicommandcenter.vercel.app/docs - Install & run: https://aicommandcenter.vercel.app/docs/install - Integrate a project: https://aicommandcenter.vercel.app/docs/integrate - Traces, prompts & budgets: https://aicommandcenter.vercel.app/docs/features - Configuration: https://aicommandcenter.vercel.app/docs/config - Auth & teams: https://aicommandcenter.vercel.app/docs/auth - Providers & pricing: https://aicommandcenter.vercel.app/docs/providers - Self-hosting: https://aicommandcenter.vercel.app/docs/self-hosting - Security: https://aicommandcenter.vercel.app/docs/security - HTTP API: https://aicommandcenter.vercel.app/docs/api - Comparison with other tools: https://aicommandcenter.vercel.app/docs/comparison - FAQ: https://aicommandcenter.vercel.app/docs/faq ## Source - GitHub: https://github.com/adityasarade/ai-command-center - npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/ai-command-center - License: MIT
