cc-switch
A desktop app to manage and switch between configurations for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, and OpenClaw.
What is cc-switch?
CC Switch is a desktop application that acts as a centralized manager for configuring and switching between multiple AI-powered command-line coding tools, including Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, and OpenClaw. It solves the problem of manually editing disparate configuration files by providing a visual interface with one-click provider imports, unified feature management, and system tray quick switching.
Developers and engineers who regularly use multiple AI CLI coding assistants and need to switch between different API providers, manage MCP servers, or sync prompts and skills across tools.
Developers choose CC Switch to eliminate the tedious, error-prone process of manually editing configuration files, gaining a single, reliable interface to manage all their AI coding tools, track usage, and ensure their setups are synchronized and backed up across devices.
Overview
A cross-platform desktop All-in-One assistant for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, OpenClaw, Grok Build & Hermes Agent. Only official website: ccswitch.io
Use Cases
Best For
- Managing API keys and endpoints for multiple AI coding CLI tools from one place
- Switching between official and third-party AI model providers without editing config files
- Synchronizing MCP servers and Skills across Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and OpenClaw
- Tracking usage and costs across different AI models and providers
- Quickly toggling providers via the system tray without opening a full application
- Safely backing up and syncing CLI tool configurations across multiple computers
Not Ideal For
- Developers who exclusively use a single AI CLI tool and have no need for centralized management
- Teams that manage configurations through version-controlled scripts or infrastructure-as-code tools
- Environments where desktop applications cannot be installed, such as on headless servers or restricted corporate systems
Pros & Cons
Pros
Provides a single interface to manage API providers, MCP servers, prompts, and skills for five popular AI CLI tools, eliminating manual editing of JSON, TOML, or .env files.
Includes over 50 built-in presets for API providers like AWS Bedrock and NVIDIA NIM, enabling one-click imports and switching without custom setup.
Features system tray quick switching, cloud sync via Dropbox/OneDrive/iCloud/WebDAV, and atomic writes with SQLite backend to prevent config corruption.
Manages MCP servers, Prompts, and Skills across supported applications with bidirectional synchronization, ensuring consistency without manual updates.
Cons
Switching providers requires restarting the terminal or CLI tool for most applications (except Claude Code), which can interrupt workflow and add friction.
Limited to five specific AI CLI tools; if your workflow involves other assistants or custom tools, CC Switch offers no management capabilities.
Built as a Tauri desktop app, it cannot be used in server environments or on devices without a GUI, restricting its use in headless or mobile setups.
