LLM Console (Claude)

quarkus-llm-console-claude is a lightweight Web UI for Claude models. It wraps the Claude Code CLI (or the Anthropic API directly) and streams responses to your browser in real time.

Queue prompts while the AI is still thinking. Type your next prompt, add it to the queue, and it will be sent automatically once the current response finishes.

Features​

  • Claude models — sonnet, opus, haiku via Claude Code CLI
  • Prompt queue — queue, reorder, and remove pending prompts without interrupting the current response
  • Tool execution — Bash, Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, WebSearch, WebFetch forwarded through Claude CLI
  • Interactive permission dialogs — tool permission requests are forwarded to the Web UI
  • Session persistence — session ID saved to file; survives server restart
  • Markdown rendering — responses rendered with syntax highlighting
  • Save to file — export the conversation as a Markdown file
  • 10 color themes — 5 dark + 5 light

Authentication​

Authentication is resolved in this order:

  1. Claude Code CLI — if claude is on your PATH, it is used directly (recommended)
  2. Environment variable — ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
  3. Config property — -Dllm-console.api-key=sk-ant-...
  4. Web UI prompt — if none of the above, an API key dialog appears at startup

MCP Server​

The console exposes an MCP endpoint at /mcp. Register it with the MCP Gateway so any MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop) can send prompts to it by name:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8888/api/servers \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"name": "llm-console-claude", "url": "http://localhost:8080", "description": "LLM Console (Claude)"}'
