What it is
Self-healing API proxy MCP for Cursor, Claude Code, or any MCP-compatible client. Send any REST request — if it fails, ProxyPI reads the error, diagnoses the problem using Claude, patches the request, and retries. Successful fixes are remembered and applied instantly next time, without calling Claude.
---
How it works
You: proxypi_request → POST https://api.example.com/users
ProxyPI: try → fail → diagnose (Claude) → patch → retry → remember
Next time the same error occurs on the same host and path, the fix is applied from memory instantly — no Claude call needed.
