Best for

Agent power users who want to route each tool to the cheapest or best model without editing configs.

Why it deserves attention

magpie runs a local gateway that translates between provider APIs, so Codex can call DeepSeek, Claude Code can use Kimi, and Gemini CLI can reach GLM without per-tool configuration. Add a provider once, then switch models from a menu bar app, and keep using existing Claude or ChatGPT subscriptions alongside API keys and local Ollama models. It is MIT-licensed with 28,000 GitHub stars and free, with macOS, Windows, and Linux builds. Routing across providers can break tool-calling or vision features, so verify critical workflows after switching.
