CC Desktop Switch simplifies configuring third-party AI model providers in the official Claude Desktop application. It supports DeepSeek, Kimi, Zhipu GLM, Alibaba Cloud Bailian, Xiaomi MiMo, and custom providers. Users can select predefined configurations, enter API credentials, and assign models to compatible Claude Desktop routes. A local gateway manages model mapping, protocol compatibility, authentication headers, and upstream connections. Only explicitly configured models are exposed through the Claude Desktop interface. Connection testing helps verify provider availability and model accessibility. The application also supports Anthropic-compatible configuration importing, SSE streaming, and custom HTTP or SOCKS proxies. Its background operation maintains the gateway while Claude Desktop is running. CC Desktop Switch supports Windows and macOS.
