One-command setup<br>Implement with one command<br>No SDK, no code changes. One command points Claude Code or Codex at TokenSwitch, and every request is routed, capped, and logged from your next prompt on.

$ terminal

# Point Claude Code at TokenSwitch (Codex: add --tool codex)<br>npx tokenswitch-setup@latest ts_setup_your_code

✓ Redeemed your setup code and provisioned a token<br>✓ Claude Code now routes every request through TokenSwitch

Control without slowing teams<br>Governance for every<br>AI coding dollar<br>Set the rules once. Every developer’s agent inherits your policy for providers, budgets, privacy, and visibility.

Per-developer visibility<br>Spend, usage, and model mix per developer and repo, with no agent overhead.

promptmetadata<br>Privacy by default<br>Prompts and source are never stored. Only privacy-safe metadata leaves your environment.

cap<br>Budgets & spend caps<br>Hard caps per org, team, or developer. Over-budget requests are refused before a provider is called.

How it works<br>Control every dollar your coding agents spend<br>01<br>Classify<br>Every task is scored by complexity, cost sensitivity, and risk, so routing decisions are auditable, not a black box.

02<br>Route under policy<br>The request goes to the cheapest capable model your policy allows, across only the providers you approve, like OpenRouter or your own Amazon Bedrock account.

03<br>Escalate & log<br>If a cheaper model falls short, TokenSwitch escalates automatically, and every hop is logged and attributed to a developer, team, and repo.
