Desktop installer and model switcher for agent tools
EchoBird bundles install references for many agent tools, then writes each tool’s own config so you can switch models from one shared place. It covers coding CLIs, some desktop apps, and local LLM setup, with a model hub that feeds the supported tools.
Builders who want to install agent tools once and switch their model settings without editing each app by hand.
You can set up and reconfigure multiple AI coding tools from one desktop app instead of fixing each one separately.
What it does
One-click install and repair
Installs and fixes supported tools like Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenClaw, and others from one app.
Model Nexus
Stores provider settings in one hub so supported tools can use the same model configuration.
One-click model switching
Updates each tool’s native config file so you can change models without hand-editing TOML or JSON.
App manager
Launches and manages AI apps and agent tools from inside EchoBird.
Local LLM setup
Bundles runtimes like vLLM, SGLang, and llama.cpp so you can run models locally.

88API — AI token aggregation platform Thanks to 88API for sponsoring this project! 88API is a one-stop token aggregation platform: a single API key provides stable access to language & coding models — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Kimi, GLM and more — along with image models (GPT-Image, Gemini, Grok), video models (Seedance, Veo, MiniMax Hailuo H3, Kling) and speech (Whisper, TTS), covering everything from copywriting and image creation/editing to video generation and voice-overs. New users get free trial credits to test model capabilities, with human support on site. Operated with overseas corporate credentials — stable and dependable, official invoices, and a 1:1 top-up ratio. |

What is EchoBird?
Friends kept asking me to install Claude Code, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent… every machine was different, and some refused to pay for an LLM. Setup and explanations took forever. So I built EchoBird — an Agent inspired by Songbird, the genius netrunner from Cyberpunk 2077 who solves any tech problem for V…

Highlights
EchoBird offers 4 scenarios sharing a unified model data hub — configure once, used everywhere.
4 scenarios
- Install & Repair Agent — let an AI install and fix mainstream tools (Claude Code, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, …); works locally and remotely
- One-click local LLM — bundled vLLM / SGLang / llama.cpp runtimes; pick a quant, hit START
- My AI Projects — onboard and manage your own vibe-coded apps and games inside EchoBird
- App Manager — one-click launch and management for every AI / Agent app & game
Shared foundation
- Model Nexus — a unified data hub for OpenAI / Anthropic / local LLMs / API Routers; configure once and all 4 scenarios pick it up; one-click latency check before you commit
Cross-platform — Windows, macOS, Linux (x64 + arm64)
Supported tools — install & switch models in one click
EchoBird bundles the install references and writes each tool's native config file, so you install from one place and — crucially — switch the model with a single click. Configure a provider once in Model Nexus, then point any supported tool at it; no manual TOML / JSON editing, no per-CLI re-login. This is the part most "model switcher" repos leave you to figure out alone.
One-click install + one-click model switch
The tools below support both — install and model switching — which is the core of what EchoBird is for:
Coding CLIs — Claude Code · Codex CLI (OpenAI) · Grok Build (xAI) · Kimi Code (Moonshot) · Qwen Code · Aider · OpenCode · MiMo Code (Xiaomi) · Kilo Code · ZCode (Z.AI) · OpenClaw · Pi · OpenScience · Vibe-Trading
Desktop apps — Claude Desktop (3P profile) · ChatGPT desktop · OpenCode Desktop · WorkBuddy (Tencent CodeBuddy)
Searching GitHub for "switch model for Grok Build" or "switch model for Kimi Code"? Those are first-class here — pick the model in Model Nexus, hit switch, and EchoBird rewrites
~/.grok/config.tomlor~/.kimi-code/config.tomlfor you.
One-click install & launch
These are detected, installed, and managed by EchoBird, but model switching is handled by the app itself (vendor-locked or no model config):
Hermes Desktop · Claude Science · Trae / Trae CN · Cursor · VS Code · Gemini Desktop · Coffee CLI

License & Trademarks
Code — EchoBird v5.0.0 and later are licensed under the MIT License. The full source is open — fork it, study it, ship it. EchoBird v4.x and earlier remain under AGPL-3.0-or-later in perpetuity (already-released v4.x binaries are not retroactively relicensed). See NOTICE for attribution.
Trade dress + brand — EchoBird's primary protection is its UI / UX trade dress: the specific combination of four user-facing surfaces sharing one central model hub, plus the bundling of two complete reference applications (Reversi + AI Translator) as user tutorial templates. The wordmark EchoBird is a common-law trademark of edison7009; feature labels like Model Nexus / 模型中心 are descriptive and protected only as part of the trade dress. Forks are welcome — no need to scrub our name and logo. If your fork honestly credits EchoBird as upstream, you may keep our identity visible (e.g. "EchoBird Community Edition by X"). If you prefer to rebrand entirely, that's also fine — just keep the NOTICE attribution. The hard lines are: commercial SaaS / app-store products literally branded "EchoBird" without permission; presenting the code as your own from-scratch original work; and adopting three or more of our four UI surfaces side-by-side in a competing product without independent prior-work documentation (see NOTICE for the formal threshold). See TRADEMARKS.md for the full policy.
