README

Claude Code Provider Switching Kit

Switch Claude Code between **Anthropic**, **GLM**, and **OpenRouter** (including free models) with one command.

No code changes. No config juggling. Just `claude-switch glm` and you're running on a different provider.

What's included

profiles/
  anthropic.json     # Default Anthropic API (best quality)
  glm.json           # GLM via z.ai (budget-friendly)
  openrouter.json    # OpenRouter (free models included)
claude-switch.sh     # The switching script

Quick Setup (2 minutes)

1. Create the profiles folder

mkdir -p ~/.claude/profiles

2. Copy everything into place

cp profiles/*.json ~/.claude/profiles/
cp claude-switch.sh ~/.claude/profiles/claude-switch.sh
chmod +x ~/.claude/profiles/claude-switch.sh

3. Add your API keys

Edit each profile file in `~/.claude/profiles/` and replace the placeholder keys:

Anthropic - get your key at console.anthropic.com
GLM - get your key at z.ai
OpenRouter - get your key at openrouter.ai

4. Add the alias

Add this to your `~/.zshrc` (or `~/.bashrc`):

alias claude-switch="~/.claude/profiles/claude-switch.sh"

Then reload:

source ~/.zshrc

5. Switch providers

claude-switch anthropic    # Best quality, full cost
claude-switch glm          # Solid quality, minimal cost
claude-switch openrouter   # Free models, great for learning

Provider Comparison

Provider	Cost	Quality	Extended Thinking	Best For
Anthropic	~$200/mo heavy use	Best	Yes	Production work, complex tasks
GLM	~$5-15/mo	Good (close to Sonnet)	No	Daily work, drafting, research
OpenRouter	Free tier available	Variable	No	Learning, testing, simple tasks
