Multi-Provider Setup

English | 中文

This walkthrough configures four upstream models through Keyway, then connects Claude Code to switch between them using the /model command.

Step 1: Add four providers

Open the admin UI (http://localhost:9233/), go to the "default" group, and create these providers:

Provider ID	Name	Protocol	Base URL	Where to get API Key
`deepseek`	DeepSeek	openai	`https://api.deepseek.com/v1`	https://platform.deepseek.com/
`zhipu`	Zhipu GLM	openai	`https://open.bigmodel.cn/api/paas/v4`	https://open.bigmodel.cn/
`minimax`	MiniMax	openai	`https://api.minimaxi.com/v1`	https://platform.minimaxi.com/
`moonshot`	Moonshot (Kimi)	openai	`https://api.moonshot.cn/v1`	https://platform.moonshot.cn/

Step 2: Create four model routes

In the same group, go to "Model Routes" and create:

Alias (client-facing)	Provider	Upstream Model
`deepseek-v4-pro`	deepseek	`deepseek-chat`
`glm-5.2`	zhipu	`glm-4-plus`
`minimax-m3`	minimax	`MiniMax-M3`
`kimi-k2.7-code`	moonshot	`kimi-k2-0905-preview`

Model IDs change frequently — verify the exact upstream model name on each provider's console.

Step 3: Create an API key

Go to "Self-issued API Keys", create a key (e.g. named "claude-code"). You'll get a db_sk_... plaintext. Save it.

Step 4: Connect Claude Code

Create .claude/settings.local.json in your project root (add it to .gitignore!):

{
  "env": {
    "ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "http://localhost:9233",
    "ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN": "db_sk_your-key-here",
    "ANTHROPIC_MODEL": "deepseek-v4-pro",
    "ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL": "deepseek-v4-pro",
    "ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL": "deepseek-v4-pro",
    "ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL": "deepseek-v4-pro"
  }
}

Step 5: Switch models with `/model`

Once the four routes are configured, you can switch between them directly inside Claude Code at any time — no restart, no config change:

/model deepseek-v4-pro
/model glm-5.2
/model minimax-m3
/model kimi-k2.7-code

The ANTHROPIC_MODEL in your settings is just the default; /model overrides it for the current session. All four aliases route through the same db_sk_ key and the same Keyway server.

Step 6 (optional): Use CC Switch for profile management

CC Switch is a desktop GUI that helps you manage and organize Claude Code configuration profiles. If you maintain multiple projects or environments (e.g. different Keyway servers, different default models), CC Switch lets you pre-create a profile per alias so you can switch the default model without editing .claude/settings.local.json by hand:

Profile	ANTHROPIC_MODEL
DeepSeek	`deepseek-v4-pro`
GLM	`glm-5.2`
MiniMax	`minimax-m3`
Kimi	`kimi-k2.7-code`

All profiles share the same ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL and ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN — only ANTHROPIC_MODEL differs. Note that CC Switch changes the default model that Claude Code starts with; you can still use /model in-session to switch on the fly.

Protocol note

All four providers in this example use OpenAI protocol, so use the OpenAI endpoint (/v1/chat/completions) for direct API calls. Claude Code uses the Anthropic endpoint (/v1/messages) — to use Claude Code with OpenAI-protocol upstreams, add an Anthropic-protocol provider (e.g. Anthropic itself) and create routes with the same aliases.
