API Profiles
Configure custom AI providers with your own API keys. Full control over model selection and cost optimization.
Available Providers
Provider Model Context Best For GLM GLM 4.6 Standard Cost-optimized bulk tasks Kimi Kimi K1.5 1M tokens Long document analysis Custom Any Varies OpenAI-compatible endpoints
Quick Start
1. Open Dashboard
2. Add API Profile
Navigate to “API Profiles” tab and add your provider:
3. Use Profile
ccs glm "your prompt"
ccs kimi "analyze this large codebase"
Manual Configuration
GLM Profile
Create ~/.ccs/glm.settings.json:
{
"env" : {
"ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL" : "https://api.z.ai/api/anthropic" ,
"ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN" : "your_glm_api_key" ,
"ANTHROPIC_MODEL" : "glm-4.6"
}
}
Kimi Profile
Create ~/.ccs/kimi.settings.json:
{
"env" : {
"ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL" : "https://api.kimi.ai/anthropic" ,
"ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN" : "your_kimi_api_key" ,
"ANTHROPIC_MODEL" : "kimi-k1.5"
}
}
Register in Config
Add to ~/.ccs/config.json:
{
"profiles" : {
"glm" : "~/.ccs/glm.settings.json" ,
"kimi" : "~/.ccs/kimi.settings.json" ,
"default" : "~/.claude/settings.json"
}
}
Custom OpenAI-Compatible Endpoints
Any OpenAI-compatible API can be configured:
{
"env" : {
"ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL" : "https://your-endpoint.com/v1" ,
"ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN" : "your-api-key" ,
"ANTHROPIC_MODEL" : "your-model-name"
}
}
Use Cases
Budget Conscious Use GLM for routine tasks at ~$0.50/1M tokens
Long Documents Kimi for analyzing large codebases (1M context)
Cost Optimization Mix Claude (quality) + GLM (volume)
Enterprise Custom endpoints with your own API keys
All env values MUST be strings (not booleans/objects) to prevent PowerShell crashes.
{
"env" : {
"ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL" : "https://..." , // String
"ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN" : "your-key" , // String
"ANTHROPIC_MODEL" : "model-name" // String
}
}
Hybrid Workflow
Most power users combine subscription + API:
# Terminal 1: Strategic planning with Claude
ccs "Design the authentication architecture"
# Terminal 2: Bulk implementation with GLM
ccs glm "Implement user service based on the design"
# Terminal 3: Code review with Gemini (free)
ccs gemini "Review the implementation for security issues"
