Clother: Open-Source CLI to Instantly Switch Claude Code Providers
tom_doerr · x · 2026-08-11
A new open-source CLI tool named Clother has emerged on GitHub, aiming to solve the pain point of manually switching between different LLM providers when using Claude Code.
- Core Function: Allows users to instantly switch between multiple Claude Code-compatible LLM providers (such as Z.AI, Kimi, Alibaba, OpenRouter, and local backends) from a single CLI.
- How it Works: Automates the changes of environment variables, endpoints, models, and launcher scripts via a simplified clother- command pattern, eliminating tedious manual configuration.
- Installation: Supports one-tap installation via Homebrew and offers VS Code integration.
