Claude Code Helper 轻量 Windows 托盘工具 — 让 Claude Code 桌面端 一键切换到 DeepSeek、通义千问、智谱、Kimi、MiniMax 等国产大模型。 零门槛设计:双击安装 → 自动配置 → 托盘右键选模型 → 开始用 Claude Code。 全程不需要打开终端、不需要改配置文件、不需要懂技术。 基于 codex-helper 架构,针对 Claude Code 的 Anthropic Messages API 与 settings.json 配置体系做了适配。 这是给谁用的? - 小白用户:第一次接触 Claude Code,只想用 DeepSeek 替代 Anthropic 省钱 - 怕折腾的用户:看到 ~/.claude/settings.json 就头大 - 多账号用户:在 DeepSeek、通义、Moonshot 之间快速切换 一图看懂 三步上手 第 1 步:下载安装 去 GitHub Releases 下载: macOS 当前以 CLI 代理模式运行(无菜单栏托盘);Windows 支持完整托盘与设置窗口。 第 2 步:填 API Key 首次启动后,右键托盘 → 设置… → 选择厂商 → 粘贴 API Key → 保存。 第 3 步:重启 Claude Code 完全退出 Claude 桌面端后重新打开(或托盘 → 重新同步配置,会自动退出 Claude)。Code 与 Cowork 将同时走 Helper Gateway。 工作原理 Claude Code 通过 ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL 发送 Anthropic Messages API 请求。Helper 在本地 127.0.0.1:25573 启动代理: 1. 自动写入 ~/.claude/settings.json 的 env 块(ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL、模型映射等) 2. 接收 Claude Code 的 /v1/messages 请求 3. 转发 到上游 API: - DeepSeek:原生 Anthropic API(https://api.deepseek.com/anthropic) - 其他厂商:代理转换为 OpenAI Chat Completions 格式 CLI 命令 配置目录 开发 打包发布: 推送 v* 标签可由 GitHub Actions 自动构建四端产物并发布,见 RELEASE.md。 与 codex-helper 的差异 License MIT
