What it is
CC Switch is a desktop app that lets you change which API provider your AI coding tools use with one click, instead of hand-editing JSON, TOML, or YAML config files. It also gives one place to manage MCP servers, Skills, and prompts across tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode. The README describes it as built with Tauri 2 and available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
- Switch the API provider used by Claude Code or Codex without editing config files
- Manage MCP server entries for several agent tools from one screen
- Keep shared prompts and Skills organized across supported agents
Great for
- Developers who use several AI coding agents and switch between API providers often
- People who find editing agent config files by hand error-prone
- Users who want MCP servers, Skills, and prompts managed from one interface
- Windows, macOS, or Linux users who prefer a graphical app
Not ideal for
- People who prefer to edit config files directly and want no extra layer (the app manages those files for you)
- Users who need a guarantee about any specific third-party API provider; the README lists sponsor relay services, which the maintainers do not vouch for in this text
How to get it
- 1

Get the most out of it
- Use the user manual linked in the README (docs/user-manual/en/README.md) for step-by-step guidance
- Use the app to manage MCP, Skills, and prompts in one place instead of per-tool files
- Check the WSL support mentioned in the repository topics if you work inside WSL
- Read the FAQ section of the README for common questions
Downloads
Strengths
- Replaces manual editing of JSON, TOML, and YAML config files for supported tools
- Covers many agent tools (the README lists more than a dozen) in one app
- MIT licensed and available as downloads for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Trade-offs
- The README is long and mixes product documentation with many sponsor promotions, so the core setup details are harder to find
- Supports a broad, changing list of tools, so support for a specific tool version should be checked in the docs
- Some sponsor links and promo codes appear in the README; treat them as the maintainers' commercial placements, not endorsements from this guide
