Isolated local state
Each dialect owns its local proxy key, ports, proxy config, runtime files, and Claude Code state under DIALECT_HOME. Embedded OAuth files are also per dialect.
Built on CLIProxyAPI —
the proxy that routes Claude Code to Codex, Kimi, Gemini, Grok, and more.
We embed it, wire the env vars, and give you isolated shell commands like
cc-codex instead of manual proxy setup every time.
CLIProxyAPI is the excellent open-source proxy that translates Claude Code's Anthropic API calls to OpenAI Codex, Gemini, Kimi, Grok, and other providers. Out of the box, you install it, configure it, start the server, and export a handful of environment variables before every Claude Code session.

Each dialect is a self-contained stack: embedded CLIProxyAPI, an isolated local proxy key, ports and runtime state, and a dedicated Claude Code config directory. Provider credentials follow the route: embedded OAuth is per dialect, while Cursor or Copilot may use shared environment or system credentials.
cc-codexYour shell command launches the real Claude Code binary with dialect-specific env vars.
CLIProxyAPI translates Anthropic API calls to your provider — Codex, Kimi, xAI, and more. Embedded in the binary; no separate install.
The local proxy key, ports, settings, and history stay scoped to this dialect. Embedded OAuth is per dialect; Cursor and Copilot provider credentials may come from shared environment variables or system credentials.
Each dialect owns its local proxy key, ports, proxy config, runtime files, and Claude Code state under DIALECT_HOME. Embedded OAuth files are also per dialect.
/model, /effort, plugins, and conversations live in per-dialect claude/ dirs — not your global setup.
Cursor and GitHub Copilot dialects run local SDK bridges that forward Claude Code tools with schema-safe aliases.
Run cc-dialect web to inspect safe configuration views, create or update dialects, manage runtimes and native launchers, and refresh Cursor — on numeric loopback only.
Map opus, sonnet, and haiku to provider-specific models. Switch mid-conversation without losing context.
Point each tier at a different provider so agents in the same session run on different models — Opus on Sol, Sonnet on Kimi, Haiku on Grok. See the mixed-frontier preset →
Presets encode provider defaults. Create as many named dialects as you need — each becomes its own shell command.
