🔀 ccmr — Claude Code Model Router

**Switch between 40+ third-party models mid-conversation — no restarts, no config editing.**

ccmr is a lightweight gateway that runs on your machine: Claude Code talks to it, and it forwards every request verbatim to whichever model you pick — DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen, GLM, MiniMax, Step, MiMo or Doubao Seed, 42 models across 8 vendors, all prewired. Type `/model kimi` in a session and the very next message runs on Kimi. When a key dies, the error tells you exactly which env var to fix, where to get a new key, and the command that verifies it. Config edits hot-reload in about a second. Loopback-only by default; everything stays local.
