🎯 Supported Providers

| Provider | Preset Key | Default Model | |----------|-----------|---------------| | Anthropic | anthropic | claude-sonnet-4.5 | | Z.ai (GLM) | zai | glm-4.7 | | MiniMax | minimax | minimax-m2.1 | | Kimi (Moonshot) | kimi | kimi-k2.5 | | Qwen (DashScope) | qwen | qwen-max-latest | | DeepSeek | deepseek | deepseek-chat | | Custom | custom | User defined |

💡 Tip: When using a preset, you can optionally specify a custom model to override the default.

🔧 How It Works

1. Profiles are stored as ~/.claude/settings.<name>.json
2. Switching copies the target profile to ~/.claude/settings.json
3. Plugins preserved — Your enabled plugins are maintained when switching providers
4. MCP Protocol ensures safe, structured file system interactions (plugin mode)

🐛 Troubleshooting

| Issue | Solution | |-------|----------| | Command not found | Run npm install -g claude-provider or check your PATH | | Plugin not found | Ensure you used the absolute path to the plugin directory | | Command not recognized | Restart Claude Code after installing the plugin | | VS Code won't open | The CLI will show the file path for manual editing |
