claude-select

Manage multiple Claude Code API subscriptions. Switch between providers (DeepSeek, Anthropic, etc.) and models, with automatic environment configuration.

Features

• CRUD subscription management - Add, edit, list, and delete API subscriptions
• Switch subscriptions - Activate any saved subscription (sets ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL, ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN, ANTHROPIC_MODEL, ANTHROPIC_SMALL_FAST_MODEL)
• Clear activation - Revert to Claude's official defaults in one command
• Interactive TUI - Arrow-key menu when run without arguments
• Auto-load wrapper - Claude automatically loads your settings on startup
• Cross-platform - Linux, macOS, Windows (PowerShell/cmd)

Install

npm install -g claude-select

Requires Node.js >= 18.

Quick start

# Add a subscription (interactive)
claude-select add

# Switch to it
claude-select use "DeepSeek Flash"

# Apply to current terminal
source ~/.claude-select.env

# Install auto-load wrapper (so `claude` always picks up your config)
claude-select setup

# Now claude uses your selected subscription automatically
claude

Commands

claude-select                  # Interactive TUI menu
claude-select add              # Add new subscription
claude-select use <name>       # Activate a subscription
claude-select edit <name>      # Edit an existing subscription
claude-select rm <name>        # Delete a subscription
claude-select list             # List all subscriptions
claude-select status           # Show current activation
claude-select clear            # Revert to Claude official defaults
claude-select setup            # Install claude auto-load wrapper
claude-select setup --uninstall  # Remove wrapper, restore original

How it works

1. Config storage: Subscriptions are stored in ~/.config/claude-select/subscriptions.json (XDG_CONFIG_HOME). Each subscription has its own API key.

2. Env file: When you activate a subscription, claude-select writes ~/.claude-select.env with the correct ANTHROPIC_* environment variables.

3. Wrapper (setup): The setup command replaces the claude binary with a thin wrapper that sources the env file before launching the real Claude Code executable. This ensures Claude always uses your current subscription.

4. Shell integration: setup also injects a sourcing line into your shell rc file (.bashrc, .zshrc, config.fish) so new terminals auto-load your settings.

Cross-platform

| | Linux | macOS | Windows | |---|---|---|---| | Config dir | ~/.config/claude-select/ | ~/Library/Preferences/claude-select/ | %APPDATA%/claude-select/ | | Env file | ~/.claude-select.env | same | %APPDATA%/claude-select/env.bat | | Wrapper type | bash script | bash script | batch file (.cmd) | | Shell rc | .bashrc / .zshrc / fish.config | same | PowerShell $PROFILE |

Security

• API keys stored with 600 permissions on Linux/macOS
• Keys are masked in the TUI (e.g. sk-...-xxxx)
• Never logged or printed in error messages

Example: Multiple providers

# Add DeepSeek
claude-select add
# Name: DeepSeek Flash
# URL: https://api.deepseek.com/anthropic
# Model: deepseek-v4-flash
# Key: sk-...

# Add Anthropic official
claude-select add
# Name: Anthropic Opus
# URL: https://api.anthropic.com
# Model: claude-opus-4-7
# Key: sk-ant-...

# Switch between them
claude-select use "DeepSeek Flash"
claude-select use "Anthropic Opus"
