Claude Code Env: Simplify Your Anthropic API Environment Management
Claude Code Env (CCE) is a simple but powerful command-line tool that solves a common pain point for developers working with Anthropic’s Claude models and compatible APIs for Claude Code CLI.
The Problem
If you frequently switch between different Claude-compatible services (official API, third-party proxies, enterprise networks), you know the pain of manually editing environment variables like ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL and ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN.
The Solution
CCE provides a clean, intuitive way to manage multiple model configurations and switch between them with a single command:
# Add a new model configuration
cce add
# Switch between models
cce use claude
cce use kimi-k2
# View current configuration
cce status
Key Features
- Multiple models: Quickly switch between official APIs, proxy servers, and enterprise networks.
-
Environment variables: Avoid frequently editing environment variables like
ANTHROPIC_BASE_URLandANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN. - Team collaboration: Easily share and sync configurations with your team.
How is it different from claude-code-router?
Unlike claude-code-router, CCE is not a proxy tool. It’s purely a client-side environment variable manager — it doesn’t intercept or forward requests, making it simpler and more secure.
Installation
pnpm add -g @vainjs/claude-code-env
Perfect for developers who work with multiple Claude-compatible services and want to avoid the hassle of manual environment management.
