Lightweight desktop tool for configuring DeepSeek, Kimi, Zhipu GLM and Bailian providers in Claude Desktop.

CC Desktop Switch is a lightweight desktop app for the official Claude Desktop client. It lets you manage third-party Anthropic-compatible API providers such as DeepSeek, Kimi, Zhipu GLM, Alibaba Cloud Bailian, and Xiaomi MiMo, then apply the right Claude Desktop 3P configuration with one click. This project is focused on Claude Desktop on Windows and macOS. It is different from CLI-oriented tools such as farion1231/cc-switch: the goal here is to give regular desktop users a simple UI for provider setup, model mapping, health checks, and local gateway compatibility. Since v1.0.18, Claude Desktop is configured to call the local CC Desktop Switch gateway at 127.0.0.1. Keep CC Desktop Switch running in the background when using third-party providers. Closing the window keeps the app available in the tray on Windows or hidden in the Dock app lifecycle on macOS. What It Does - Manages DeepSeek, Kimi, Zhipu GLM, Alibaba Cloud Bailian, Xiaomi MiMo, and custom third-party providers. - Applies Claude Desktop third-party inference settings on Windows and macOS. - Uses a local gateway to keep model mapping, protocol compatibility, extra headers, and upstream keys under local control. - Shows only explicitly mapped Claude-safe model routes in Claude Desktop. - Rejects unmapped Claude model routes instead of silently falling back to an internal default. - Imports Anthropic-compatible CC-Switch configurations while leaving OpenAI-format entries opt-in. - Provides provider connectivity checks, model availability checks, SSE streaming, and custom upstream HTTP/SOCKS proxy support. - Prevents duplicate Windows app instances: launching the shortcut again brings the existing window forward.
