3. Running Claude Code with the Router
Start Claude Code using the router:
ccr code
Note: After modifying the configuration file, you need to restart the service for the changes to take effect:
ccr restart
4. UI Mode
For a more intuitive experience, you can use the UI mode to manage your configuration:
ccr ui
This will open a web-based interface where you can easily view and edit your config.json file.
Providers
The Providers array is where you define the different model providers you want to use. Each provider object requires:
name: A unique name for the provider.api_base_url: The full API endpoint for chat completions.api_key: Your API key for the provider.models: A list of model names available from this provider.transformer(optional): Specifies transformers to process requests and responses.
