What it actually does
If you use more than one agent client, you have more than one config file, more than one provider setup, and no single place to see what is installed where. CC Switch is the manager for that mess.
It handles Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Gemini CLI, Grok Build, OpenCode, OpenClaw, and Hermes Agent from one cross-platform desktop app built with Tauri and Rust. Provider management, skills management, and MCP configuration all live in one place, with WSL support for Windows users.
The practical value is switching. Moving a project from one provider to another, or trying a different agent on the same task, stops being a config-editing exercise.
126,000 stars. The README carries a pointed warning that ccswitch.io is the only official site — as with any tool that manages credentials, install from the source you verified.
Who it's for
- 01
Anyone who uses two or more agent clients regularly
- 02
Teams standardising provider and MCP configuration across machines
- 03
People who switch providers based on cost or rate limits
- 04
Windows users who need WSL-aware agent tooling
Where it earns its keep
- Switching an agent between providers without hand-editing config
- Seeing every skill and MCP server installed across all your clients at once
- Standardising a team's agent configuration from one interface
- Managing separate provider credentials for different clients or projects
- Recovering quickly when one provider hits a rate limit mid-task
Use it, or skip it
Reach for it when
- Config drift across agent clients is costing you time
- You switch providers regularly and want it to be one click
- You want a visual inventory of installed skills and MCP servers
- You are on Windows and need WSL support handled properly
Skip it when
- You use exactly one agent with one provider — there is nothing to manage
- You prefer config in version control over a GUI managing it
- You are cautious about a desktop app touching agent credentials, which is fair
- You cannot verify you are installing from the official source
10 automations
Ideas, not tutorials. Each one is work a team does by hand today.
- 01Engineering
Provider failover on rate limit
When one provider throttles, switch the whole team to a backup in one action instead of editing files.
- 02Operations
Config drift audit
Compare agent configuration across machines and flag where someone's setup diverges from the standard.
- 03Operations
Skill inventory review
Quarterly review of every installed skill and MCP server, removing what is unused or unvetted.
- 04Finance
Cost-driven provider routing
Route routine work to a cheaper provider and reserve the expensive one for hard tasks.
- 05Operations
New machine setup
Bring a replacement laptop to full agent parity in minutes rather than an afternoon of config.
- 06Engineering
Client A/B comparison
Run the same task through two agent clients and compare results without reconfiguring anything.
- 07Engineering
Credential rotation
Rotate provider keys in one place and have every client pick up the change.
- 08Operations
Onboarding config bundle
Ship a standard configuration to new hires so their agents match the team from day one.
- 09Operations
MCP server rollout
Push a new internal MCP server to every engineer's clients from one interface.
- 10Finance
Spend attribution
Keep separate credentials per project so model spend can be attributed rather than pooled.
