ccrswitch
# Then select option 1: View Current Router Config

Output Example:

Current Router Configuration:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Route Key       | Provider             | Model
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
default         | Copilot Coding Plan  | claude-sonnet-4.5
background      | Copilot Coding Plan  | claude-haiku-4.5
think           | Copilot Coding Plan  | claude-sonnet-4.5
webSearch       | Poe                  | claude-haiku-4.5
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Total: 4 route(s)

Preset Management

Save and restore entire router configurations:

• Save Preset: Capture current configuration with an optional description.
• Load Preset: Restore a previously saved configuration.
• View Presets: List all saved presets with timestamps.
• View Preset Details: Show detailed information of a specific preset.
• Delete Preset: Remove a saved preset.

This allows you to quickly switch between different router configurations without manual adjustment.

Troubleshooting

"No Router configuration found"

Cause: The Router section in ~/.claude-code-router/config.json is empty or missing.

Solution:

1. Ensure CCR is properly installed and configured.
2. Check that ~/.claude-code-router/config.json contains valid routes.

"No valid routes found"

Cause: Routes in the configuration don't follow the provider,model format.

Solution:

1. Edit ~/.claude-code-router/config.json to verify route format.
2. Ensure routes are formatted as "route_key": "provider_name,model_name".

Advanced Usage

Direct Python Helper Invocation

For scripted bulk modifications, you can invoke the helper directly:

# List all models
uv run python ccr_helper.py list

# List all providers
uv run python ccr_helper.py list_providers

# View router configuration
uv run python ccr_helper.py show_router

# Get all route keys
uv run python ccr_helper.py get_router_keys

# Add model to provider
uv run python ccr_helper.py add_model "provider_name" "model_name"

# Update single route
uv run python ccr_helper.py update_router "route_key" "provider_name" "model_name"

# Update all routes
uv run python ccr_helper.py update_router_all "provider_name" "model_name"

# Update Claude Code settings
uv run python ccr_helper.py update_settings "model_name"

Configuration Files

• ~/.claude-code-router/config.json: Main configuration file containing Providers, Models, and Router sections.
• ~/.claude/settings.json: Claude Code settings file containing the currently selected model.
• ~/.claude-code-router/presets/: Directory for saved preset configuration files.
