API Profiles

API profiles let you use any Anthropic-compatible endpoint by configuring a base URL, API key, and model. No OAuth required.

Available Presets

Creating Profiles

Via Preset

# Interactive wizard — prompts for name and API key
ccs api create --preset anthropic
ccs api create --preset alibaba-coding-plan
ccs api create --preset ollama
ccs api create --preset llamacpp
ccs api create --preset novita
ccs api create --preset openrouter
ccs api create --preset requesty

Via Dashboard

ccs config
# Navigate to: API Profiles → Create Profile → select preset

Manual Settings File

Create ~/.ccs/<name>.settings.json:

{
  "env": {
    "ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "https://your-endpoint.com/v1",
    "ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN": "your-api-key",
    "ANTHROPIC_MODEL": "model-name",
    "ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL": "model-name",
    "ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL": "model-name",
    "ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL": "model-name"
  }
}

profiles:
  myprofile:
    settings_file: ~/.ccs/myprofile.settings.json

All env values must be strings. Booleans or objects cause crashes on Windows PowerShell.

CLIProxy Bridge

Use OAuth providers as API profiles via the CLIProxy bridge:

ccs api create --cliproxy-provider gemini
ccs api create --cliproxy-provider codex

This creates an API profile that routes through the local CLIProxy instance, giving you API-key-style access to OAuth providers.

Profile Lifecycle

# List all API profiles
ccs api list

# Copy a profile with new name
ccs api copy glm glm-backup

# Export (without secrets by default)
ccs api export glm --out glm-export.json
ccs api export glm --out glm-export.json --include-secrets

# Import from file
ccs api import glm-export.json
ccs api import glm-export.json --name glm-restored

# Find unregistered settings files
ccs api discover
ccs api discover --register

# Remove profile
ccs api remove myprofile

Extended Context (`--1m` flag)

Some profiles support a 1M token context window:

# Enable 1M context for this session
ccs albb --1m "analyze entire codebase"
ccs km --1m "read all these files"

# Disable if auto-enabled
ccs albb --no-1m "quick task"

Profiles with 1M support: alibaba-coding-plan, km, kimi, minimax.

Settings File Format

Full settings file with all optional fields:

{
  "env": {
    "ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "https://api.example.com",
    "ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN": "sk-your-key",
    "ANTHROPIC_MODEL": "model-id",
    "ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL": "model-id",
    "ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL": "model-id",
    "ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL": "model-id",
    "ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_FABLE_MODEL": "model-id",
    "ANTHROPIC_MAX_TOKENS": "8192",
    "ANTHROPIC_THINKING_BUDGET": "8192"
  }
}

Common Profiles

Z.AI GLM (`ccs glm`)

{
  "env": {
    "ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "https://api.z.ai/api/anthropic",
    "ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN": "your_glm_api_key",
    "ANTHROPIC_MODEL": "glm-5.2"
  }
}

Kimi for Coding (`ccs km`)

{
  "env": {
    "ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "https://api.kimi.com/coding/",
    "ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN": "your_kimi_api_key",
    "ANTHROPIC_MODEL": "kimi-for-coding"
  }
}

Hybrid Workflow

Combine Claude subscriptions with API profiles for cost-optimized workflows:

# Terminal 1: Strategic design with Claude (subscription)
ccs "design the authentication architecture"

# Terminal 2: Bulk implementation with GLM (API key, low cost)
ccs glm "implement all the services per the design"

# Terminal 3: Review with Codex (OAuth, no API key)
ccs codex "security review of the implementation"
