CCS - Claude Code Switch

The universal AI profile manager for Claude Code.

Run Claude, Gemini, GLM, and any Anthropic-compatible API - concurrently, without conflicts.

Features & Pricing | Documentation

The Three Pillars

Capability	What It Does	Manage Via
Multiple Claude Accounts	Run work + personal Claude subs simultaneously	Dashboard
OAuth Providers	Gemini, Codex, Antigravity - zero API keys needed	Dashboard
API Profiles	GLM, Kimi, or any Anthropic-compatible API	Dashboard

Quick Start

1. Install

npm install -g @kaitranntt/ccs

Alternative package managers

yarn global add @kaitranntt/ccs    # yarn
pnpm add -g @kaitranntt/ccs        # pnpm (70% less disk space)
bun add -g @kaitranntt/ccs         # bun (30x faster)

2. Open Dashboard

ccs config
# Opens http://localhost:3000

3. Configure Your Accounts

The dashboard provides visual management for all account types:

• Claude Accounts: Create isolated instances (work, personal, client)
• OAuth Providers: One-click auth for Gemini, Codex, Antigravity
• API Profiles: Configure GLM, Kimi with your keys
• Health Monitor: Real-time status across all profiles

CLI Proxy API & Copilot Integration

WebSearch Fallback

Built-in Providers

Provider	Auth Type	Command	Best For
Claude	Subscription	ccs	Default, strategic planning
Gemini	OAuth	ccs gemini	Zero-config, fast iteration
Codex	OAuth	ccs codex	Code generation
Copilot	OAuth	ccs copilot	GitHub Copilot models
Antigravity	OAuth	ccs agy	Alternative routing
OpenRouter	API Key	ccs openrouter	300+ models, unified API
GLM	API Key	ccs glm	Cost-optimized execution
Kimi	API Key	ccs kimi	Long-context, thinking mode

OpenRouter Integration (v7.0.0): CCS v7.0.0 adds OpenRouter with interactive model picker, dynamic discovery, and tier mapping (opus/sonnet/haiku). Create via ccs api create --preset openrouter or dashboard.

OAuth providers authenticate via browser on first run. Tokens are cached in ~/.ccs/cliproxy/auth/.

Powered by:

• CLIProxyAPI - OAuth proxy for Gemini, Codex, Antigravity
• copilot-api - GitHub Copilot API integration

Tip

Need more? CCS supports any Anthropic-compatible API. Create custom profiles for self-hosted LLMs, enterprise gateways, or alternative providers. See API Profiles documentation.

Usage

Basic Commands

ccs           # Default Claude session
ccs agy       # Antigravity (OAuth)
ccs gemini    # Gemini (OAuth)
ccs glm       # GLM (API key)

Parallel Workflows

Run multiple terminals with different providers:

# Terminal 1: Planning (Claude Pro)
ccs work "design the authentication system"

# Terminal 2: Execution (GLM - cost optimized)
ccs glm "implement the user service from the plan"

# Terminal 3: Review (Gemini)
ccs gemini "review the implementation for security issues"

Multi-Account Claude

Create isolated Claude instances for work/personal separation:

ccs auth create work

# Run concurrently in separate terminals
ccs work "implement feature"    # Terminal 1
ccs  "review code"              # Terminal 2 (personal account)

Maintenance

Health Check

ccs doctor

Verifies: Claude CLI, config files, symlinks, permissions.

Update

ccs update              # Update to latest
ccs update --force      # Force reinstall
ccs update --beta       # Install dev channel

Sync Shared Items

ccs sync

Re-creates symlinks for shared commands, skills, and settings.

Configuration

CCS auto-creates config on install. Dashboard is the recommended way to manage settings.

Config location: ~/.ccs/config.yaml

Custom Claude CLI path

If Claude CLI is installed in a non-standard location:

export CCS_CLAUDE_PATH="/path/to/claude"              # Unix
$env:CCS_CLAUDE_PATH = "D:\Tools\Claude\claude.exe"   # Windows

Windows symlink support

Enable Developer Mode for true symlinks:

1. Settings → Privacy & Security → For developers
2. Enable Developer Mode
3. Reinstall: npm install -g @kaitranntt/ccs

Without Developer Mode, CCS falls back to copying directories.

WebSearch

Third-party profiles (Gemini, Codex, GLM, etc.) cannot use Anthropic's native WebSearch. CCS automatically provides web search via CLI tools with automatic fallback.

How It Works

Profile Type	WebSearch Method
Claude (native)	Anthropic WebSearch API
Third-party profiles	CLI Tool Fallback Chain

CLI Tool Fallback Chain

CCS intercepts WebSearch requests and routes them through available CLI tools:

Priority	Tool	Auth	Install
1st	Gemini CLI	OAuth (free)	npm install -g @google/gemini-cli
2nd	OpenCode	OAuth (free)	curl -fsSL https://opencode.ai/install | bash
3rd	Grok CLI	API Key	npm install -g @vibe-kit/grok-cli

Configuration

Configure via dashboard (Settings page) or ~/.ccs/config.yaml:

websearch:
  enabled: true                    # Enable/disable (default: true)
  gemini:
    enabled: true                  # Use Gemini CLI (default: true)
    model: gemini-2.5-flash        # Model to use
  opencode:
    enabled: true                  # Use OpenCode as fallback
  grok:
    enabled: false                 # Requires XAI_API_KEY

Tip

Gemini CLI is recommended - free OAuth authentication with 1000 requests/day. Just run gemini once to authenticate via browser.

See docs/websearch.md for detailed configuration and troubleshooting.

Remote CLIProxy

CCS v7.x supports connecting to remote CLIProxyAPI instances, enabling:

• Team sharing: One CLIProxyAPI server for multiple developers
• Cost optimization: Centralized API key management
• Network isolation: Keep API credentials on a secure server

Quick Setup

Configure via dashboard (Settings > CLIProxy Server) or CLI flags:

ccs gemini --proxy-host 192.168.1.100 --proxy-port 8317
ccs codex --proxy-host proxy.example.com --proxy-protocol https

CLI Flags

Flag	Description
--proxy-host	Remote proxy hostname or IP
--proxy-port	Remote proxy port (default: 8317 for HTTP, 443 for HTTPS)
--proxy-protocol	http or https (default: http)
--proxy-auth-token	Bearer token for authentication
--local-proxy	Force local mode, ignore remote config
--remote-only	Fail if remote unreachable (no fallback)

See Remote Proxy documentation for detailed setup.
