What is CC Switch?

CC Switch saves you from hand-editing the JSON, TOML and YAML files that terminal coding agents use for settings. From one window you choose which API provider each tool talks to, switch between them with a click, and keep MCP configuration, skills and prompts in sync across agents. It supports Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent and several others, and runs on Windows, macOS and Linux. The interface comes in English, Chinese, Japanese and German.

Good fit if

  • You use several coding agents and switch between model providers or relay services.
  • You want one place to manage MCP servers instead of editing each tool's config.

Look elsewhere if

  • You want requests routed between models automatically, inside Claude Code: Claude Code Router.
  • You want to run several agents side by side on the same task: Orca.

Before you adopt it

CC Switch is MIT-licensed and free. Its creator writes about 70% of the commits. The README warns that ccswitch.io is the only official website, so download it from there or from GitHub releases.
