Open-source multi-account manager for Claude CLI enables profile switching

What claude-multi-account does

This open-source CLI tool solves the limitation of Claude CLI storing everything in a single ~/.claude/ directory, which locks users to one account at a time. It provides unlimited isolated profiles with shared settings.

Key features

• Isolated profiles — each account gets its own config directory
• Shared MCP servers & settings — define once, auto-applied to all accounts
• Global CLAUDE.md — instructions and skills that work across every account
• Plugins & marketplace — manage plugins globally or per-account
• Direct launch — run claude-work or claude-personal directly from terminal
• Local backup/restore — timestamped archives with one click
• Cloud backup/restore — sync all profiles to cloud, restore on any machine
• Export/import — transfer profiles between machines as a single token
• Auto dependency detection — installs missing deps on first run

Installation options

Multiple installation methods are available:

• npm install -g @ghackk/multi-claude
• pip install multi-claude
• brew install ghackk/tap/multi-claude
• scoop install multi-claude
• One-liner: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ghackk/claude-multi-account/master/install.sh | bash

The tool works on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Termux.

Who it's for

Developers who need to switch between work and personal Claude accounts without logging out each time.
