AgentPTY: bypassing Claude Code subscription limits
Developers have introduced the experimental AgentPTY tool. It automates the interactive Claude Code CLI through a local FastAPI and a pseudoterminal PTY.
The project addresses the upcoming Anthropic pricing split. Starting June 2026, the company plans to charge separately for using the Claude Agent SDK and non-interactive commands, while keeping standard Pro or Max subscriptions for regular interactive terminal work.
AgentPTY runs Claude Code inside a PTY, mimicking human actions. It sends requests, tracks generation completion via webhooks, and returns the response text. This allows free automation of routine tasks while preserving the main subscription limits.
