cc-wrapper

Cross-platform CLI wrapper for Claude Code with named environment profiles, arg passthrough, and zero config friction.

Switch between Claude environments — local proxies, OpenRouter, AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI — with a single command instead of exporting env vars every time.

# Before cc-wrapper
ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8787 ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=my-token claude

# After cc-wrapper
cc-wrapper claude

Features

• Named profiles — save multiple Claude environments (local, openrouter, vertex, bedrock, etc.)
• Interactive setup — searchable env var selector with descriptions and example values
• Auto --dangerously-skip-permissions — injected by default, disable with --dd
• Full arg passthrough — all extra args forwarded to claude unchanged
• Cross-platform — Windows, macOS, Linux; config stored at correct OS path automatically
• Secret masking — API keys and tokens masked in all log output
• Live sync — fetch latest Claude env vars from official docs with npm run sync-envs

---

Requirements

• Node.js >= 20
• Claude Code CLI installed and accessible as claude in PATH

---

Installation

npm install -g cc-wrapper

Verify:

cc-wrapper --version
cc-wrapper --help

---

Quick Start

1. Create your first profile:

cc-wrapper new

You will be prompted for:

• Profile name (e.g. local, openrouter, vertex)
• Which Claude env vars to set (searchable, numbered list with descriptions)
• Value for each selected env var (with examples shown inline)
• Default extra args to pass to claude

2. Run Claude with the profile:

cc-wrapper claude

---

Commands

cc-wrapper new

Create a new named profile interactively.

cc-wrapper new

Flow:

1. Enter profile name
2. Multi-select env vars from numbered list (SPACE to toggle, ENTER to confirm)
3. Enter value for each selected var (example shown inline)
4. Enter default claude args
5. Profile saved — set as default if it's the first one

---

cc-wrapper list

List all saved profiles. Default profile is highlighted.

cc-wrapper list

● local  (default)
○ openrouter
○ vertex

---

cc-wrapper default <name>

Set the default profile used by cc-wrapper claude.

cc-wrapper default openrouter

---

cc-wrapper edit <name>

Interactively edit an existing profile. Current values are pre-filled and masked.

cc-wrapper edit local

---

cc-wrapper delete <name>

Delete a profile (confirmation prompt required).

cc-wrapper delete vertex

If the deleted profile was the default, the next available profile becomes the new default automatically.

---

cc-wrapper show <name>

Display all env vars and args stored in a profile. Secret values (keys, tokens, passwords) are masked.

cc-wrapper show local

Output example:

cc-wrapper › local (default)

  env:
    ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL    http://localhost:8787
    ANTHROPIC_API_KEY     sk-a*****

  args: --dangerously-skip-permissions

---

cc-wrapper claude [args...]

Launch claude with the default profile's environment variables injected.

cc-wrapper claude

Pass extra args directly to claude:

cc-wrapper claude --print "explain this codebase"
cc-wrapper claude --model claude-opus-4-7-20250514
cc-wrapper claude --no-stream

Disable automatic --dangerously-skip-permissions injection:

cc-wrapper claude --dd

Use a specific profile instead of default:

cc-wrapper claude --profile openrouter
cc-wrapper claude -p vertex --print "hello"

---

Configuration

Config is stored as a single JSON file at the OS-appropriate path:

OS	Path
Linux	~/.config/cc-wrapper/config.json
macOS	~/Library/Preferences/cc-wrapper/config.json
Windows	%APPDATA%\cc-wrapper\config.json

Config schema

{
  "default": "local",
  "configs": {
    "local": {
      "env": {
        "ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "http://localhost:8787",
        "ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN": "my-token"
      },

        "CLOUD_ML_REGION": "us-central1"
      },
      "args": []
    }
  }
}

You can edit this file directly or use cc-wrapper edit <name>.

Supported Environment Variables

cc-wrapper supports all official Claude Code environment variables. The list is stored in src/data/env-vars.json and can be refreshed from the official docs:

npm run sync-envs

Key variables include:

Variable	Description
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY	Anthropic API key
ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL	Custom API base URL (local proxy, OpenRouter, etc.)
ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN	Bearer token for custom auth
ANTHROPIC_MODEL	Override default model
CLAUDE_CODE_USE_VERTEX	Use Google Vertex AI
CLAUDE_CODE_USE_BEDROCK	Use AWS Bedrock
AWS_REGION	AWS region for Bedrock
CLOUD_ML_REGION	GCP region for Vertex
HTTP_PROXY / HTTPS_PROXY	Proxy settings
CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS	Override max output tokens
CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC	Disable telemetry

Full list: run cc-wrapper new and browse the interactive selector.

---

Security

• API keys and tokens are never printed in logs — always masked (e.g. sk-a*****)
• Config file lives in your user data directory, not in project folders
• No values are sent anywhere other than the claude process environment
