Environment Check (Common Steps)

(1) Confirm Node.js is Installed

1. Enter the following command in a Windows or macOS terminal

npm list -g --depth-0

Normally it should look like the image below (no content is also fine). If you see "command not found", it means you haven't installed Node.js. You need to follow this tutorial to install the environment required for Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini

2. If you discover Node.js isn't installed and have now completed the installation, please re-run the command above. If it no longer says "command not found", the installation was successful

(2) Install CLI

1. Enter the following commands in a Windows or macOS terminal to install all the CLI tools we need at once

npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code@latest
npm i -g @openai/codex@latest
npm i -g @google/gemini-cli@latest

(3) Test Installation

Important

This step is very important. You must run the commands to test, because running these commands will generate the configuration directories for each CLI in your user directory, which is necessary for subsequent operations!

Claude Code

Enter the following command in a Windows or macOS terminal. If you see the content shown in the image, or a selection prompt appears, Claude Code is installed successfully

claude

The second step is very important. You must follow the link and run the command to configure

1. Click Claude Code cannot connect to Anthropic service to navigate, and follow the tutorial to run the command before continuing with the individual CLI configuration tutorials

Claude Code Configuration

Windows

1. Press "Win+R", enter %userprofile%\.claude and press Enter

2. If settings.json doesn't exist, create it manually

• settings.json: Claude's main configuration file for relay address, ApiKey, hooks, plugins, etc.

3. Write the following content to settings.json

{
  "env": {
    "ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "https://goswitch.online",
    "ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN": "xxx",
    "CLAUDE_CODE_ATTRIBUTION_HEADER": "0"
  }
}

4. Review Create API Token, create a CC group token in GoSwitch, and replace xxx

5. Run claude in the terminal. If you receive a reply, configuration is successful

Codex Configuration

Windows

1. Press "Win+R", enter %userprofile%\.codex and press Enter

2. We use three files, only two need configuration

• config.toml: Codex's core configuration file
• auth.json: ApiKey configuration
• AGENTS.md: Global prompts

Important

Many people may not have these three files after installation. Create them manually

3. Configure Config.toml

disable_response_storage = true
model = "gpt-5.2"
model_provider = "goswitch"
model_reasoning_effort = "xhigh"
model_verbosity = "high"

[features]
web_search_request = true

[model_providers.goswitch]
base_url = "https://goswitch.online/v1"
name = "goswitch"
requires_openai_auth = true
wire_api = "responses"

4. Configure ApiKey

{
  "OPENAI_API_KEY": "xxx"
}

Review Create API Token, create a Codex group token, copy the key and fill into xxx

5. Test Dialogue - run codex in terminal

Gemini Configuration

Windows

1. Press "Win+R", enter %userprofile%\.gemini and press Enter

2. Create .env file if it doesn't exist, write:

• .env: Gemini CLI configuration file

GOOGLE_GEMINI_BASE_URL=https://goswitch.online
GEMINI_API_KEY=xxx
GEMINI_MODEL=gemini-2.5-pro

3. Review Create API Token, create a Gemini group token, fill xxx

4. Run gemini in terminal. If it responds normally, configuration is successful
