The 'Import to CCS' button does nothing — what now?

The system has not registered CC Switch's URL scheme. First confirm you fully installed CC Switch (not an unzipped portable build run directly), then launch CC Switch once, quit it completely, and click 'Import to CCS' again. If it still fails on Windows, look for a 'register protocol / associate links' option in CC Switch settings.

How do I add the LMU AI config manually in CC Switch?

CC Switch supports adding a custom provider manually: any name (e.g. 'LMU AI'), Base URL https://api.lmuai.com, and the sk- key generated in the console. Save it and set it as the active item on the main screen.

CC Switch or editing settings.json by hand?

Both have the same effect. CC Switch can store keys for multiple groups / plans and switch with a click, which suits multi-plan users; if you mainly use the command line and don't mind editing a config file, configuring settings.json by hand is perfectly fine too.

CC Switch one-click import

Use the CC Switch desktop tool to import your LMU AI API config into Claude Code in one click, skipping the manual settings.json edit.

CC Switch is an open-source, cross-platform desktop tool for managing and one-click-switching API provider configs across AI coding tools like Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Gemini CLI.

Combined with the "Import to CCS" button in the LMU AI console, it connects Claude Code to the API in a single click, with no need to create or edit settings.json by hand.

Step 1 — Install CC Switch

Download the installer for your platform from the official repo's Releases page:

GitHub Releases: https://github.com/farion1231/cc-switch/releases

Windows / macOS / Linux are supported. After installing, launch CC Switch at least once so the system registers its custom URL scheme.

After the first launch, keep CC Switch running (or let it stay in the background) so that clicking "Import to CCS" can invoke it correctly.

Step 2 — Create an API key in the LMU AI console

See Getting started - Create an API key:

Open "API Keys" from the left menu
Click "Create key" and give it any name
Choose the group for the plan you have redeemed, and finish creating it

Step 3 — Import to CC Switch in one click

In the API key list, find the key you just created and click the "Import to CCS" button in the "Actions" column on the right of its row:

The "Import to CCS" button location in the LMU AI console API key list

The browser shows a prompt asking "Allow this site to open CC Switch?" — click "Allow / Open"
CC Switch automatically detects and fills in the LMU AI Base URL and your API key
Set that config as the active item in CC Switch

The first-time prompt

Different browsers (Chrome / Edge / Safari) word the confirmation slightly differently, but all ask whether to launch the external application CC Switch. Check "remember my choice" to avoid being asked again.

Step 4 — Make it take effect in Claude Code

CC Switch writes the selected config into Claude Code's settings.json (or injects env vars at launch), so:

If Claude Code is already open, restart it once so the new config takes effect
After that, just run claude — no need to edit any config file by hand

Verify the Base URL is https://api.lmuai.com with the /status command.

Common issues

The "Import to CCS" button does nothing

Cause: the system has not registered CC Switch's URL scheme.

Fix:

Confirm you fully installed CC Switch (not an unzipped portable build run directly)
Launch CC Switch once, quit it completely, then click "Import to CCS" again
If it still fails on Windows, look for a "register protocol / associate links" option in CC Switch settings

The browser blocked the protocol jump

Some browsers block unknown protocols by default. In the dialog, choose "always allow the docs / console domain to open links like this."

You want to add the config manually

CC Switch also supports adding a custom provider manually:

Name: anything (e.g. LMU AI)
Base URL: https://api.lmuai.com
API Key: the sk- key generated in the console

Save it and set it as the active item on the main screen.

Recommendations

CC Switch can store keys for multiple groups / plans and switch with a click, which makes it better than editing settings.json for multi-plan users
In tray-resident mode it uses very little, so setting it to start at boot is recommended
If you mainly use the command line and don't mind editing a config file, keep configuring by hand per the Claude Code guide — both have the same effect
