CC-Switch Setup

CC-Switch is a graphical multi-provider switcher that lets you manage and switch the API provider for Claude Code / Codex / Gemini with one click. Compared with editing config files by hand, it's more beginner-friendly.

Prerequisites

  • You've obtained a CQT AI APIKey (created in the console under "APIKey Management").
  • You've installed the corresponding CLI (e.g. Claude Code) and installed CC-Switch.

Step 1: Open CC-Switch

Open CC-Switch, select the type to configure at the top (Claude / Codex / Gemini), and click + (add provider) in the top-right corner.

Step 2: Add the CQT AI provider

In the "Add new provider" form, follow the three steps below as shown:

Add the Cqtai provider in CC-Switch

  1. Select the Cqtai preset provider template (in the template area at the top; selecting it auto-fills the website link and channel address).
  2. Enter the APIKey you created in the console (in the API Key field).
  3. Click "Add" in the bottom-right corner.

Form field reference:

FieldValue
Provider nameCqtai (custom, for easy identification)
Website linkhttps://api.cqtai.com
API KeyThe APIKey you created in the console
API channel URLhttps://api.cqtai.com/v1
Model namee.g. gpt-5.2 (fill in as needed)

For Claude / Codex / Gemini types, switch at the top and add the provider for each separately.

Step 3: Save and switch

After saving, select CQT AI in the list so it shows the "Currently Using" status to take effect.

Step 4: Verify

Open a terminal and run the corresponding CLI (e.g. claude), then chat to test that it routes through CQT AI.

FAQ

  • Switch doesn't take effect: Confirm the provider is marked "Currently Using" and reopen the terminal.
  • 401 authentication failed: Check the API Key is correct with no extra spaces, and confirm the APIKey isn't disabled.
  • Connection failed: Confirm the Base URL is correct (Claude uses https://api.cqtai.com).
