Historique du projet

The npm scope `@musistudio/claude-code-router` was first published in June 2025, during the early expansion of Claude Code companion tools. The package's own description framed the project around using Claude Code with alternate LLM providers, and the README later broadened the project into a local gateway and desktop dashboard for Claude Code, Codex, ZCode, and compatible clients.

The project follows a familiar proxy pattern from developer tooling: keep the user's editor or agent workflow stable while swapping model backends behind a local endpoint. Its documented routing model includes provider presets, custom endpoints, fallback routing, request logs, profiles, plugins, and virtual models.

Historique d'adoption

Distribution is source-backed through npm and Homebrew. The npm registry records 75 versions of `@musistudio/claude-code-router`, and Homebrew metadata records version 2.0.0 from the npm registry with Node as a dependency.

The README documents desktop downloads from GitHub Releases for macOS, Windows, and Linux AppImage, while the Homebrew formula covers the CLI-oriented install path for package-manager users.

Modes d'utilisation

Users start the service with `ccr start`, then point Claude Code or another supported agent profile at the local gateway. The README documents default local services on ports 3456 and 3457, plus a web management UI on port 3458.

Its main use case is model-provider routing: default, background, thinking, long-context, image, web-search, subagent, conditional, and fallback routes can be mapped to different providers or models while credentials remain in the local router configuration.

Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

Claude Code Router matters to package nerds because it turns an AI coding tool's network boundary into a local, configurable package. Instead of patching every client, users install one gateway and let profiles, environment, and local endpoints do the switching.

It is also a snapshot of the 2025-2026 AI CLI ecosystem: npm package, Homebrew formula, Electron-style desktop artifacts, local daemon ports, provider presets, and plugin hooks all converge around agentic coding workflows.
