CCS - Claude Code Switch

The multi-provider profile and runtime manager for Claude Code and compatible CLIs

Run Claude, Codex, Droid-routed profiles, GLM, local models, and Anthropic-compatible APIs without config thrash.

[Docker] ghcr.io/kaitranntt/ccs-dashboard:latest is deprecated. Use ghcr.io/kaitranntt/ccs:latest instead. See #1251 and docker/README.md for migration details. To wire a sibling container to CLIProxy, see Connect your app to CLIProxy.

Quick Start (Docker)

With Docker installed:

curl -fsSL https://ccs.kaitran.ca/docker-compose.yaml -o docker-compose.yaml
docker compose up -d

Dashboard at http://localhost:3000 · CLIProxy at http://localhost:8317.

Need a corporate-proxy alternative? Download directly: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kaitranntt/ccs/main/docker/compose.yaml

Install on Host (npm)

npm install -g @kaitranntt/ccs
ccs config

Then launch whatever runtime fits the task:

ccs
ccs codex
ccs --target droid glm
ccs glm
ccs ollama

Why CCS

CCS gives you one stable command surface while letting you switch between:

• multiple runtimes such as Claude Code, Factory Droid, and Codex CLI
• multiple Claude subscriptions and isolated account contexts
• OAuth providers like Codex, Kiro, Claude, Qwen, Kimi, and more, with legacy Copilot compatibility for existing setups
• API and local-model profiles like GLM, Kimi, OpenRouter, Ollama, llama.cpp, Novita, and Alibaba Coding Plan

The goal is simple: stop rewriting config files, stop breaking active sessions, and move between providers in seconds.

OpenAI-Compatible Routing

CCS can now bridge Claude Code into OpenAI-compatible providers through a local Anthropic-compatible proxy instead of requiring a native Anthropic upstream.

ccs api create --preset hf
ccs hf

Need to manage the proxy manually?

ccs proxy start hf
eval "$(ccs proxy activate)"

The proxy also supports request-time profile:model selectors, scenario-based model routing through proxy.routing, and explicit activation helpers such as ccs proxy activate --fish.

Guide: OpenAI-Compatible Provider Routing

Related Project: claude-code-router

claude-code-router is an excellent standalone tool for routing Claude Code requests to OpenAI-compatible providers. CCS's local proxy and SSE transformation work was directly informed by CCR's transformer architecture.

Use CCR when you want a standalone router without CCS profile management. Use CCS when you want the routing flow integrated with CCS profiles, runtime bridges, and the existing ccs command surface.

Usage Analytics

Live Auth And Health Monitoring

See auth state, account health, and provider readiness without dropping into raw config. Deep dive: Live Auth Monitor.

OAuth Provider Control Center

Manage OAuth-backed providers, quota visibility, and proxy-wide routing from one place. CCS now surfaces round-robin vs fill-first natively in both CLI and dashboard flows instead of hiding that choice inside raw upstream controls. The original CLIProxyAPI backend remains the default; the community-maintained CLIProxyAPIPlus fork is opt-in for plus-only providers. When Plus is selected, CCS points the embedded management panel at the maintained CPAMC dashboard fork by default. Deep dive: CLIProxy API.

Managed Tooling And Fallbacks

CCS can provision first-class local tools like WebSearch and image analysis for third-party launches instead of leaving you to wire them by hand. Browser automation now has a first-class setup path as well. Deep dive: WebSearch | Browser Automation.

The README stays short on purpose. The docs site owns the detailed guides and reference material.

Example Workflow

# Design with default Claude
ccs "design the auth flow"

# Implement with a different provider
ccs codex "implement the user service"

# Use a cheaper API profile for routine work
ccs glm "clean up tests and docs"

# Run a local model when you need privacy or offline access
ccs ollama "summarize these logs"
