ArchLinux2. Configure SiliconFlow
2.1 Get a SiliconFlow API Key
- Open the SiliconFlow platform, register, and log in to your account
- Complete real-name verification
- Go to the API Key management page
- Click “Create New API Key”, then copy and save it properly
💡 Tip: By registering through the link above and completing real-name verification, you can receive a 16 RMB reward, which can be used across models on the platform.
2.2 Add the SiliconFlow Provider (Claude Code)
Open CC Switch and follow the steps below to add the provider:2.2.1 Confirm the application type
In the application switcher at the top, confirm that Claude is currently selected.
2.2.2 Select the preset
Click the + button in the top-right corner to open the Add Provider panel. In the “Preset” dropdown, select SiliconFlow (purple icon).
- Name: SiliconFlow
- Endpoint URL:
https://api.siliconflow.cn - Model:
Pro/moonshotai/Kimi-K2.5(all model slots are mapped uniformly)
2.2.3 Fill in the API Key
Paste the key obtained in the previous step into the API Key field, then click “Add”.
💡 Tip: The SiliconFlow preset automatically maps all Claude Code model slots (haiku / sonnet / opus) to the same model. After adding it, you can still edit the provider and assign different SiliconFlow models to different slots.
2.3 Enable and Verify
2.3.1 Enable the provider
After the provider is added, the SiliconFlow provider card will appear in the main interface list. Click the “Enable” button on the card. The card will then display a blue border and a “Currently Enabled” label.
2.3.2 Verify the configuration
Claude Code supports hot reload, so after switching providers, there is no need to restart the terminal. The configuration takes effect immediately. Open the terminal, runclaude, and enter a test prompt:
📌 Note: If Claude Code prompts you to log in or shows the initialization guide on first launch, open “Settings → General” in CC Switch, enable the “Skip Claude Code initial installation confirmation” option, and then restart Claude Code.
2.4 Configure SiliconFlow for OpenClaw
SiliconFlow also supports OpenClaw. The same API Key can be used for both applications, and the CC Switch preset automatically handles the API format differences (Claude Code uses the Anthropic Messages format, while OpenClaw uses the OpenAI Completions format).- Switch to OpenClaw in the application switcher at the top
- Click the + button and select SiliconFlow from the presets
- Paste in the same API Key (the endpoint will be filled automatically as
https://api.siliconflow.cn/v1) - Click “Add” and enable it
💡 Tip: If you are also using an overseas network, SiliconFlow provides an international endpoint as well. Select SiliconFlow en in the preset list, with the endpoint https://api.siliconflow.com/v1.
3. View Your SiliconFlow Account Balance
Starting from CC Switch v3.13.0, the SiliconFlow account balance can be displayed directly on the provider card, so you can check your remaining credit at any time without opening a browser.3.1 Enable balance query
- On the SiliconFlow provider card, click the gear icon (usage configuration)
- In the pop-up configuration panel, choose Official from the “Template” dropdown (CC Switch will automatically match it based on the SiliconFlow endpoint)
- Turn on the “Enable usage query” switch
- Click “Save”
3.2 View the balance
After the configuration is completed, the current account balance (unit: CNY) will be displayed at the bottom of the SiliconFlow provider card. CC Switch refreshes it automatically every 5 minutes by default, and you can also click the refresh button to update it manually.💡 Tip: The balance query uses the official SiliconFlow API and directly reuses the API Key already filled in on the provider card, so no extra configuration is required. In addition to SiliconFlow, CC Switch also supports balance queries for providers such as DeepSeek, StepFun, OpenRouter, and Novita AI.
4. Advanced Features
After completing the basic configuration, CC Switch has more features worth exploring.Quick switching from the system tray
Click the CC Switch icon in the system tray to switch providers directly from the menu. The menu is grouped by application (Claude / Codex / Gemini), so you can switch without opening the main interface. This is very practical in daily development—for example, quickly switching between SiliconFlow and other providers only takes two clicks.
Unified MCP server management
CC Switch can centrally manage MCP (Model Context Protocol) server configurations across multiple applications. Click the MCP button in the top navigation bar to enter the management panel.- Use built-in preset templates to add common MCP servers with one click (such as fetch, context7, sequential-thinking, etc.)
- Independently control whether each server is enabled in Claude Code / Codex / Gemini / OpenCode
- Edit once and automatically sync to the configuration files of all enabled applications
Usage statistics and cost monitoring
After enabling CC Switch’s local proxy feature, you can track the token consumption and cost of each API request.- Trend charts show daily/weekly API spending
- Statistics categorized by provider and model
- Detailed request logs, including time, model, token count, and cost
More features
- Local proxy + failover — Configure a failover queue for multiple providers (for example, SiliconFlow as primary and others as backup), and automatically switch in seconds when the primary provider fails
- Prompt management — Create system prompts in the Markdown editor and sync them to CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md / GEMINI.md with one click
- Skill management — Browse GitHub repositories to discover and install skill extensions, enhancing AI capabilities
- Session management — Browse and search conversation history across 5 applications
- Cloud sync — Sync all configurations across multiple devices via WebDAV
- Deep link import — Import providers, MCP, prompts, and other configurations with one click through
