Quick Start
Configure CLI Tools
Connect GETMODEL to Claude Code / Codex / Gemini CLI
GETMODEL is compatible with the three major command-line tools. There are two ways to configure it: "graphical" and "manually editing config files".
Which method should you choose?
GetModel Desktop (recommended for beginners)
Open-source graphical tool with a built-in GETMODEL template—just a few clicks to set up
Manual configuration (recommended for experienced users)
Edit settings.json / config.toml / .env directly; once you understand how it works, it's smoother to use
| Your situation | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Never used the command line / don't want to edit config files | GetModel Desktop (GUI) |
| Running on a cloud server / prefer the command line | CC-Switch CLI version or manual |
| Want to understand how the CLI works | Start with manual configuration |
Must read before configuring the CLI for the first time: Environment Check. If you haven't installed Node.js and the various CLI tools first, all the later steps will fail.
