A modern desktop application, CC Mate simplifies the management of Claude Code configuration files. It targets users of Claude Code, offering a streamlined GUI for handling multiple configurations, MCP servers, agents, global commands, and CLAUDE.md memory files, thereby reducing setup pain and improving workflow efficiency.

How It Works

CC Mate provides a centralized graphical interface for managing various aspects of Claude Code. Key features include seamless switching between multiple configuration profiles, dedicated interfaces for configuring MCP servers and agents, organizing global commands, and interacting with CLAUDE.md memory files. It also incorporates usage analytics to track and analyze user activity. This approach abstracts away direct file manipulation, offering a more intuitive and less error-prone user experience compared to manual configuration.

Quick Start & Requirements

Download the latest release from randynamic.org/ccmate and install using platform-specific packages (.dmg for macOS, .exe installer for Windows, .AppImage or .deb for Linux). The application requires Claude Code to be installed and have been run at least once. File permissions in ~/.claude/ may need verification.
