claude-acc

Manage multiple Claude Code accounts via symlinks.

claude-acc lets you keep several independent ~/.claude profiles (each with its own login, history, MCP servers, and settings) and switch between them instantly by swapping a symlink.

Requirements

• Node.js >= 18
• Claude Code installed (claude on your PATH)

Installation

npm i -g claude-acc

After installation, the claude-acc command will be available globally.

Quick start

# 1. Choose where account data will live (one-time)
claude-acc setup --path /absolute/path/to/claude-acc-store

# 2. Create your first account and log in
claude-acc login work

# 3. Create another account
claude-acc login personal

# 4. Switch between accounts
claude-acc switch work
claude-acc switch personal

# 5. See current status / list accounts
claude-acc status

How it works

Each account is a directory under your storage path (e.g. /claude-acc-store/work, /claude-acc-store/personal). claude-acc points ~/.claude at the active account via a symlink, so Claude Code transparently reads and writes to that account's data. Switching is atomic — just re-point the symlink.

On first setup, if ~/.claude already exists as a real directory, claude-acc will back it up (or ask before overriding) so no existing data is lost.

Commands

| Command | Description | | --- | --- | | claude-acc setup --path <path> | Configure the root storage path where account data is kept. Run once. | | claude-acc login <name> | Create a new account, link ~/.claude to it, then run claude login. | | claude-acc switch <name> | Switch the active account (account must already exist via login). | | claude-acc status | Show the active account and list all accounts. | | claude-acc list | Alias for status. | | claude-acc disable | Remove the symlink so Claude Code runs against the real ~/.claude again. |

Run claude-acc --help or claude-acc <command> --help for full option details.

Typical workflow

claude-acc setup --path ~/claude-acc-accounts
claude-acc login work        # prompts claude login for work account
claude-acc login personal    # prompts claude login for personal account
claude-acc status            # shows which one is active

# Later, jump between them:
claude-acc switch work
claude                   # runs as work account

claude-acc switch personal
claude                   # runs as personal account

Uninstall

claude-acc disable   # restore plain ~/.claude
npm uninstall -g claude-acc

Account data under your storage path is not removed — delete it manually if you no longer need it.
