Anthropic GitHub Copilot Self-hosted
Pay-per-token Premium requests Free (offline) Three Providers, One Interface
Anthropic Direct
ccd Official Anthropic API. Maximum quality for production code review, security audits, and critical decisions.
GitHub Copilot
ccc Use your Copilot subscription with Claude Code. Access Claude, GPT, and Gemini models via copilot-api proxy.
Setup: Run copilot-api start in Terminal 1, then use ccc in Terminal 2
Ollama Local
cco 100% offline inference. Perfect for proprietary code, air-gapped environments, and privacy-first workflows.
Features
Instant Switching
Switch providers with 3 characters. No config changes, no restarts, no environment juggling.
25+ Models
Access Claude, GPT-4.1, GPT-5, Gemini, and local models (Devstral 68% SWE-bench, Qwen3 69.6%, Granite4) through a unified interface.
MCP Profiles
Auto-generated compatibility profiles exclude problematic MCP servers for strict models like GPT-4.1.
Model Identity
System prompt injection ensures GPT and Gemini correctly identify themselves when running through Claude Code.
Health Checks
Fail-fast validation. Get clear error messages when copilot-api or Ollama isn't running.
Session Logging
Full audit trail in ~/.claude/claude-switch.log. Track provider, model, duration, and exit status.
GitHub Copilot Quotas & Limits
cc-copilot-bridge is free and open-source (MIT). This section explains GitHub Copilot's quota system, which applies when using the ccc provider.
| Plan | Monthly Cost | Premium Requests | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Copilot Free | $0 | 50 | Limited model access |
| Copilot Pro | $10 | 300 | Access to most models |
| Copilot Pro+ | $39 | 1,500 | Full model access |
| Copilot Business | $19/user | 300 | Organization features |
| Copilot Enterprise | $39/user | 1,000 | Custom models, knowledge bases |
Model Multipliers
Different models consume different amounts of premium requests:
| Model | Multiplier | Effective Quota (Pro, 300) | Effective Quota (Pro+, 1500) |
|---|---|---|---|
| GPT-4.1, GPT-4o, GPT-5-mini | 0x | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Claude Haiku 4.5 | 0.33x | ~900 interactions | ~4,500 interactions |
| Claude Sonnet 4.5 | 1x | 300 interactions | 1,500 interactions |
| Gemini 2.5 Pro | 1x | 300 interactions | 1,500 interactions |
| Claude Opus 4.5 | 3x | ~100 interactions | ~500 interactions |

Quick Start
Get started in 30 seconds:
Homebrew (Recommended)
brew tap FlorianBruniaux/tap
brew install cc-copilot-bridge
eval "$(claude-switch --shell-config)"Script Install (Alternative)
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FlorianBruniaux/cc-copilot-bridge/main/install.sh | bash
source ~/.zshrc # or ~/.bashrcAlso available: Debian/Ubuntu (.deb), RHEL/Fedora (.rpm) — See all install options →
Setup Aliases
# Add to ~/.bash_aliases or ~/.zshrc
alias ccd='claude-switch direct' # Anthropic API (paid)
alias ccc='claude-switch copilot' # GitHub Copilot (quota)
alias cco='claude-switch ollama' # Ollama Local (offline)
alias ccs='claude-switch status' # Check all providers
# Model shortcuts
alias ccc-gpt='COPILOT_MODEL=gpt-4.1 claude-switch copilot'
alias ccc-opus='COPILOT_MODEL=claude-opus-4.5 claude-switch copilot'First Usage
# Terminal 1: Start copilot-api (keep running)
copilot-api start
# or start the unified fork
scripts/launch-unified-fork.sh
# Terminal 2: Use Copilot (uses your subscription)
ccc
# Switch models on-the-fly
COPILOT_MODEL=gpt-4.1 ccc # GPT-4.1 (free!)
COPILOT_MODEL=claude-opus-4.5 ccc # Opus (3x quota)
# Check provider status
ccs Note: copilot-api (or the unified fork via scripts/launch-unified-fork.sh) must be running for Copilot mode. Direct (ccd) and Ollama (cco) don't need it.
⚠️ Risk Disclosure
Terms of Service Considerations
This project uses copilot-api, a community tool that reverse-engineers GitHub Copilot's API. Start the proxy first: copilot-api start or scripts/launch-unified-fork.sh.
Important Disclaimers
- Not officially supported: copilot-api is not endorsed by GitHub, Microsoft, Anthropic, or any AI provider
- ToS risk: Using third-party proxies to access Copilot may violate GitHub Copilot Terms of Service
- Account suspension: GitHub reserves the right to suspend accounts for ToS violations without prior notice
- API changes: This tool may stop working at any time if providers change their APIs
- No guarantees: The authors provide no warranty and accept no liability for account suspension
Recommendations
| Use Case | Recommended Provider |
|---|---|
| Production code | Anthropic Direct (ccd) - Official API, no ToS risk |
| Sensitive/proprietary code | Ollama Local (cco) - 100% offline, no cloud |
| Daily development | Copilot (ccc) - Understand the risks first |
| Risk-averse users | Avoid copilot-api entirely |
