CC Switch

CC Switch is an open-source desktop application that provides centralized management for AI coding tools, including Claude Code, Codex, and various API providers.

CC Switch is a desktop application designed to manage workflows for various AI coding tools like Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Gemini CLI, and Grok Build. It acts as a unified interface for provider configuration, replacing the need to manually edit JSON, TOML, YAML, or .env files by offering over 90 provider presets. The tool includes a local routing feature that handles API format conversion, load balancing, and automated failover between suppliers. Users manage MCP configurations, skills, and prompts within the application while tracking token usage, cache hits, and costs. Configuration settings are stored in a local SQLite database, with optional cloud synchronization supported via WebDAV or S3.
