Claude Switch

Switch between claude code backends, e.g.

• Anthropic (default)
• Compatible local API providers, e.g. via ollama, llama-cpp, lemonade, ...
• Other services, e.g. z.ai, ...

This program just keeps options in a config file and lets the user choose between them interactively. This is a global option, not a per project option.

$ go install -v github.com/miku/claude-switch@latest

Alternatively, a standalone shell script (requires only jq) is available:

$ curl -fsSL https://tinyurl.com/claude-switch -o ~/.local/bin/claude-switch \
     && chmod +x ~/.local/bin/claude-switch

On first run, an example configuration file is created.

You can add additional providers and models into that file, then use claude-switch to list or select between them.

To select interactively, just run:

$ claude-switch
