CC Switch

CC Switch is an MIT-licensed, cross-platform desktop application built with Tauri 2 and Rust that centralizes configuration for AI coding tools. The current release is v4.0.10, and it runs on Windows, macOS and Linux. It manages API provider settings for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Gemini CLI, Grok Build, OpenCode, OpenClaw, Hermes, Pi and MiniMax Code from one interface.

What It Is

CC Switch replaces hand-editing of JSON, TOML, YAML and .env files for each AI coding tool. You pick one of the 90+ provider presets (or create a custom one), enter a key, and switch in one click. Switching replaces only key connection fields such as endpoint, key and model, so plugins, hooks, MCP settings and comments stay in place. Some tools use one active provider at a time (Switch), while others hold several providers at once (Coexist).

Connection Modes and Local Routing

Three modes are available: Direct, Routing and Aggregation. Routing runs a local service that converts request formats between Anthropic Messages, OpenAI Chat Completions, OpenAI Responses and Gemini Native, so GPT-style providers can be used in Claude Code and Claude in Codex. A failover queue with a circuit breaker moves to a backup provider when the primary fails. Aggregation, for Claude Code and Codex, lists models from several providers in a single model picker and sends each request to the chosen model's provider.

MCP, Skills, Prompts and Sessions

MCP servers and Skills are added once and synced to selected tools. Prompts are maintained per tool, and are written to files such as CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or GEMINI.md. A session manager lets you browse and search conversation history, read structured session views, export Markdown, and copy resume commands.

Usage Tracking and Data Handling

Token, cache and cost statistics are collected from local session logs even without routing, with custom model pricing supported. Provider cards and the tray can show subscription quotas and balances. Data is stored locally in SQLite, with optional WebDAV or S3-compatible cloud sync to storage you configure. A deep link scheme (ccswitch://) allows importing providers, MCP servers and prompts.
