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-workorclaude-personaldirectly 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-claudepip install multi-claudebrew install ghackk/tap/multi-claudescoop install multi-claude- One-liner:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ghackk/claude-multi-account/master/install.sh | bash
