Added validation to reject variant names that match reserved CLIProxy provider names (gemini, codex, agy, qwen, iflow). Also protected reserved provider settings files from being deleted when deleting variants. This prevents accidental deletion of default provider configurations when users create variants with conflicting names.
CCS - Claude Code Switch
The universal AI profile manager for Claude Code.
Run Claude, Gemini, GLM, and any Anthropic-compatible API - concurrently, without conflicts.
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
Analytics (Light/Dark Theme)
API Profiles & OAuth Providers
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 |
| Antigravity | OAuth | ccs agy |
Alternative routing |
| GLM | API Key | ccs glm |
Cost-optimized execution |
| Kimi | API Key | ccs kimi |
Long-context, thinking mode |
OAuth providers authenticate via browser on first run. Tokens are cached in
~/.ccs/cliproxy/auth/.
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:
- Settings → Privacy & Security → For developers
- Enable Developer Mode
- 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 configures MCP-based web search as a fallback.
How It Works
| Profile Type | WebSearch Method |
|---|---|
| Claude (native) | Anthropic WebSearch API |
| OAuth providers | MCP web-search-prime (auto-configured) |
| API profiles | MCP web-search-prime (auto-configured) |
Configuration
Configure via dashboard (Settings page) or ~/.ccs/config.yaml:
websearch:
enabled: true # Enable/disable auto-config
provider: auto # auto | web-search-prime | brave | tavily
fallback: true # Enable fallback chain
Optional API Keys
For additional search providers, set environment variables:
export BRAVE_API_KEY="your-key" # Free tier: 15k queries/month
export TAVILY_API_KEY="your-key" # AI-optimized search (paid)
Note
web-search-primeworks without API keys. Brave/Tavily are optional fallbacks.
See docs/websearch.md for detailed configuration and troubleshooting.
