Create multiple isolated Claude Code variants with custom providers (Z.ai, MiniMax, OpenRouter, LiteLLM) - numman-ali/cc-mirror
Resumen
Resumen Principal
CC-MIRROR Claude Code es una distribución avanzada y preconfigurada de Claude Code, diseñada para ofrecer a los desarrolladores un acceso sin restricciones a variantes mejoradas del entorno de desarrollo de IA de Anthropic. Su principal fortaleza radica en la capacidad de crear instancias aisladas de Claude Code, permitiendo la integración y gestión de múltiples proveedores de modelos
Contenido
CC-MIRROR
Claude Code, Unshackled
Pre-configured Claude Code variants with custom providers,
prompt packs, and battle-tested enhancements.
One command. Instant power-up.
Quick Start
# Fastest path to a configured Claude Code variant npx cc-mirror quick --provider mirror --name mclaude # Run it mclaude
That's it. You now have a Claude Code variant ready to run.
Claude Code Version (Stable/Latest/Pin)
By default, CC-MIRROR installs the latest Claude Code native release. You can pin a channel or version:
# Track upstream stable channel npx cc-mirror quick --provider mirror --name mclaude --claude-version stable # Track upstream latest channel npx cc-mirror update mclaude --claude-version latest # Pin a specific version npx cc-mirror update mclaude --claude-version 2.1.37
Notes:
stableandlatestare upstream channels.stablemay lag behindlatest(that is normal).- cc-mirror resolves the channel to a concrete version during install/update and stores it in
variant.json.
Or use the interactive wizard
What is CC-MIRROR?
CC-MIRROR is an opinionated Claude Code distribution. We did the hacking — you get the superpowers.
At its core, CC-MIRROR:
- Clones Claude Code into isolated instances
- Configures provider endpoints, model mapping, and env defaults
- Applies prompt packs and tweakcc themes
- Installs optional skills (dev-browser, opt-in)
- Packages everything into a single command
Each variant is completely isolated — its own config, sessions, MCP servers, and credentials. Your main Claude Code installation stays untouched.

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Default <bin-dir> is ~/.local/bin on macOS/Linux and ~/.cc-mirror/bin on Windows.
Windows tip: add %USERPROFILE%\.cc-mirror\bin to your PATH, or run the <variant>.cmd wrapper directly. Each wrapper has a sibling <variant>.mjs launcher.
Providers
Mirror Claude (Recommended)
The purest path to vanilla Claude Code. No proxy, no model changes — just clean isolation.
npx cc-mirror quick --provider mirror --name mclaude
- Direct Anthropic API — No proxy, authenticate normally (OAuth or API key)
- Isolated config — Experiment without affecting your main setup
- Provider presets — Clean defaults without hidden patches
Alternative Providers
Want to use different models? CC-MIRROR supports multiple providers:
| Provider | Models | Auth | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kimi | kimi-for-coding | API Key | Long-context coding (Kimi Code) |
| MiniMax | MiniMax-M2.5 | API Key | Unified model experience |
| Z.ai | GLM-5, 4.7, 4.5-Air | API Key | Heavy coding with GLM reasoning |
| OpenRouter | 100+ models | Auth Token | Model flexibility, pay-per-use |
| Vercel | Multi-provider gateway | Auth Token | Vercel AI Gateway |
| Ollama | Local + cloud models | Auth Token | Local-first + hybrid setups |
| NanoGPT | Claude Code endpoint | Auth Token | Simple endpoint setup |
| CCRouter | Ollama, DeepSeek, etc. | Optional | Local-first development |
| GatewayZ | Multi-provider gateway | Auth Token | Centralized routing |
