After the first connection works, choose a guide by task. Most settings take effect immediately. Pages call out actions that overwrite data or rewrite live tool configuration.
| I want to… | Start here |
|---|---|
| Switch connections on WSL or a development machine | Control remote nodes over SSH |
| Change the API used by one app | Manage connections |
| Give several apps the same MCP server or skill | MCP and skills |
| Find a conversation, token count, or request cost | Sessions and usage |
| Change language, startup behavior, or visible apps | Settings and themes |
| Configure authentication or fields unique to one CLI | Choose an app-specific guide below |
Remote nodes
Control ochcli on WSL, development machines, and headless servers over SSH.
Manage connections
Discover, edit, order, copy, and switch direct connections for each app.
MCP and skills
Store shared capabilities once, then enable and sync them per supported app.
Sessions and usage
Browse local conversations and understand tokens, cache, cost, and request details.
Settings and themes
Adjust language, startup behavior, app visibility, terminals, and themes.
Configure a specific tool
The connection workflow is shared, but write modes, authentication, and advanced capabilities differ. Each tool has its own guide group:
| Tool | Guide | Write mode | MCP | Skills |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | Configure Claude | Current-connection switching | Yes | Yes |
| Claude Desktop | Configure Claude | Current-connection switching | No | No |
| Codex | Configure Codex | Current-connection switching | Yes | Yes |
| Cherry Studio | Import into Cherry Studio | Confirmed Deep Link import | No | No |
| Grok Build | Configure Grok Build | Current-connection switching | Yes | No |
| Kimi Code | Configure Kimi Code | Current-connection switching | No | No |
| OpenCode | Configure OpenCode | Multiple connections coexist | Yes | Yes |
| OpenClaw | Configure OpenClaw | Multiple connections coexist | No | No |
| Hermes | Configure Hermes | Multiple connections coexist | Yes | Yes |
In current-connection switching, the tool’s live configuration points to one active connection. In coexistence mode, OcHub writes several connections into one tool configuration, and Remove from tool deletes only that entry. Cherry Studio is import-only and confirms every handoff in its own window.
When moving existing data from cc-switch, start with the migration guide for ID-collision, backup, and staged verification guidance.
