OcHub is a native desktop control center for AI coding tools. It lets you switch model providers, manage shared capabilities, and run a local gateway from one place — without a browser shell or webview.
A useful mental model
Think of OcHub as three layers:
- Apps are the tools you actually run, such as Claude Code or Codex.
- Connections describe how one app authenticates and reaches an API.
- Model providers are optional shared upstreams behind OcHub’s local gateway.
Start with an app and a direct connection. Add the gateway layer only when you need shared routing, interface conversion, or fallback.
What OcHub manages
OcHub manages Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cherry Studio, Grok Build, Kimi Code, OpenCode, OpenClaw, and Hermes.
| Area | Capabilities |
|---|---|
| Connections | Discover, import, edit, switch, and test direct API connections |
| Model providers | Route supported clients through a local gateway with model aliases, reasoning mapping, interface-candidate retry, backup-provider switching, health checks, and usage accounting |
| Shared tools | Manage MCP servers and reusable skills across supported clients |
| Remote nodes | Switch existing connections and operate Gateway on WSL, development machines, and headless servers over SSH |
| Operations | Browse sessions, inspect usage, configure sync, and manage app behavior |
| Migration | One-time, read-only import from compatible cc-switch databases |
How it touches your configuration
OcHub owns ~/.ochub/ and never writes back to ~/.cc-switch/. It does update
the live configuration directories of tools you explicitly manage.
Where to go next
- Install — Homebrew, direct downloads, and first-launch approval
- Quick start — choose an app and complete the first connection
- Everyday features — connections, MCP, skills, sessions, and usage
- Remote nodes — control WSL and development machines over SSH
- Advanced features — routing, CLI maintenance, backup, and sync
- App-specific guides — Claude, Codex, OpenCode, and the other supported tools
- Migrate from cc-switch — import, collision handling, and rollback
- Troubleshooting — diagnose configuration and connection problems by symptom
