ClovAPI Switcher desktop app managing API upstreams for Claude Code, Codex, and other agents

What the CLI does

Manage official subscriptions and third-party APIs in one place — switch upstreams for Claude Code, Codex, and more.

clovapi add

Save upstream profiles (official subscriptions or third-party APIs) with a connectivity probe before persist.

clovapi switch

Apply a profile to a target CLI. Interactive picker or --cli for Claude Code, Codex, and others.

Official subscriptions

Open source & cross-platform

Written in Go. Install via npm, Homebrew, or winget. Config lives in ~/.config/clovapi.

Deep support for four API formats

At switch time, clovapi picks the best upstream API style for each CLI — no manual style matrix.

openai-chat

/v1/chat/completions · Chat Completions format, compatible with most OpenAI-style SDKs.

anthropic

/v1/messages · Anthropic Messages API, the native format for Claude Code and similar agents.

FAQ

Quick answers about clovapi, supported agents, and how it compares to cc-switch.

What is clovapi? How is it different from an API gateway?
clovapi manages upstream API profiles for coding agent CLIs with a built-in local proxy at its core. After switch, agent requests go through localhost while clovapi routes upstream and transcodes API formats. Use clovapi add to save profiles and clovapi switch to apply them.
Which agent CLIs are supported?
Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, OpenClaw, Hermes, Kimi Code CLI, and more. At switch time clovapi picks the right API format (anthropic, openai-responses, gemini, etc.) for each CLI.
Can I manage official subscriptions and third-party APIs together?
Yes. Claude Code and Codex official subscriptions can be saved as profiles alongside third-party providers such as OpenRouter or SiliconFlow.
How does clovapi compare to cc-switch?
Both ship desktop apps and support multiple agent CLIs such as Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode. clovapi is built around a local proxy: switch routes agents through localhost and transcodes anthropic / openai-responses / gemini formats in one place. cc-switch emphasizes GUI provider management, MCP/Skills/Prompts sync, and optional proxy takeover. See /compare/cc-switch for details.
How do I install clovapi?
Install the CLI via npm (npm i -g @clovapi/cli), Homebrew, or winget — or download the macOS / Windows desktop app for a GUI workflow.
