agentkeyswitch

agentkeyswitch is a cross-platform CLI for switching API profiles used by local AI agents such as Claude Code and Codex.

It keeps your reusable profiles in one local store and applies them to the real config files only when you run a switch command.

Current scope

• Supported platforms:
  • Linux
  • Windows
• Supported agents:
  • claude
  • codex
• Supported commands:
  • agswitch list
  • agswitch status
  • agswitch add <profile>
  • agswitch import <profile>
  • agswitch import-existing
  • agswitch use <agent> <profile>
  • agswitch remove <profile>
  • agswitch help [command]

Install

pip install agentkeyswitch

For local development:

pip install -e .

Profile store

Profiles are stored at:

Linux:   ~/.config/agentkeyswitch/profiles.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\agentkeyswitch\profiles.json

You can override the runtime locations with environment variables:

• AGSWITCH_HOME
• AGSWITCH_STORE
• XDG_CONFIG_HOME
• APPDATA

This is mainly useful for testing or migration.

Examples

Add a profile interactively:

agswitch add max

Add a profile non-interactively:

agswitch add CCC \
  --agent all \
  --claude-token 'xxx' \
  --claude-base-url 'https://CCCai.online/v1' \
  --claude-model 'opus' \
  --codex-key 'xxx' \
  --codex-base-url 'https://CCCai.online/v1' \
  --codex-provider 'CCC'

Import the current live configs into a reusable profile:

agswitch import max --agent all

Batch import your existing named files:

agswitch import-existing

Batch import when your filenames use another separator:

agswitch import-existing --separator "_"

Also include the current live config as current:

agswitch import-existing --include-current

Switch Claude only:

agswitch use claude max

Switch both Claude and Codex:

agswitch use all CCC

Check current live status:

agswitch status

Show detailed help:

agswitch help
agswitch help use

Output style

agswitch list now prints profiles as readable blocks instead of one compressed line:

Stored Profiles (3)
-------------------
- AAA
  claude       yes (token: AAA-...oken)
  codex        no
- BBB
  claude       no
  codex        yes (key: BBB...-key)
- CCC
  claude       yes (token: CCC...oken)
  codex        yes (key: CCC...-key)

agswitch status uses the same block style:

Live Status
-----------
- claude
  profile      CCC
  base_url     https://CCCai.online/v1
  token        CCC...oken
  model        opus
  paths        1
               /home/you/.claude/settings.json
- codex
  profile      CCC
  base_url     https://CCCai.online/v1
  api_key      CCC...-key
  provider     CCC
  wire_api     responses
  paths        2
               /home/you/.codex/auth.json
               /home/you/.codex/config.toml

agswitch import-existing also shows imported items in the same format:

Imported Profiles (2)
---------------------
- max
  agents       claude
- CCC
  agents       claude, codex

agswitch use all CCC will print the applied profile and backup files:

Applied Profile
---------------
  profile      CCC
  agent        all
- claude
  backups      1
               /home/you/.config/agentkeyswitch/backups/.../settings.json
- codex
  backups      2
               /home/you/.config/agentkeyswitch/backups/.../auth.json
               /home/you/.config/agentkeyswitch/backups/.../config.toml

What gets changed

claude

• ~/.claude/settings.json

codex

• ~/.codex/auth.json
• ~/.codex/config.toml

Named files discovered by import-existing

Default naming rule:

• Claude: ~/.claude/settings - <profile>.json
• Codex: ~/.codex/auth - <profile>.json

That means these files:

• ~/.claude/settings - max.json
• ~/.codex/auth - max.json

will be imported as the same profile: max

If you use a different separator, pass it explicitly:

• agswitch import-existing --separator "_":
  • Claude: ~/.claude/settings_<profile>.json
  • Codex: ~/.codex/auth_<profile>.json
• agswitch import-existing --separator "-":
  • Claude: ~/.claude/settings-<profile>.json
  • Codex: ~/.codex/auth-<profile>.json

Import behavior:

• If only Claude exists for a profile name, the stored profile gets only a claude section.
• If only Codex exists for a profile name, the stored profile gets only a codex section.
• If both exist with the same profile name, they are merged into one stored profile.
• --include-current will additionally import the currently active live config as profile current.
• --overwrite allows replacing already stored sections with newly imported ones.

The tool updates only the necessary fields and keeps unrelated settings intact. Before writing, it creates timestamped backups under:

Linux:   ~/.config/agentkeyswitch/backups/
Windows: %APPDATA%\agentkeyswitch\backups\

Notes

• Secrets are not bundled with the package.
• The package is designed so you can publish the code without publishing your tokens.
• For Codex, the tool updates both auth.json and config.toml so provider selection remains consistent.
