DEDUPEDWho it is forDeveloper with two Claude or ChatGPT accounts who keeps getting cut off mid-task by a 5-hour limit
The problemWhen one subscription hits its limit, the agent stops with an error and you lose your flow.
The outcomeThe agent keeps answering because requests move to the next account or model in your routing group, with no error shown.
What you need first
- macOS, Windows, Linux, Docker or Termux
- At least one coding agent already installed (for example Claude Code, Codex or Gemini CLI)
- At least one provider: an API key, a local model server, or a signed-in subscription such as Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini or Grok
- Bun is downloaded automatically the first time a plugin needs it
Steps
- Add each account or provider under Providers in the app
- Run: magpie group add "Opus anywhere" models=claude/claude-opus-5-5,copilot/claude-opus-5.5 routing=smart
- Run: magpie claude group/opus-anywhere
- Run: magpie quota to see what is left on every plan
Prompt for your agent
Using yetone/magpie, create a routing group from my <PROVIDER_A> and <PROVIDER_B> models with smart routing and point Claude Code at it. Then run magpie quota and confirm both accounts show up as group members.
Caveat. Failover only helps if you really have more than one account or model available. Using several accounts may conflict with a vendor's terms, so check them first.
About magpie
A menu bar app to pair any coding agent with any model, like Codex on DeepSeek. Part of this week's top 10 repos: ranked #9 on Repo Radar. View yetone/magpie on GitHub.
More with magpie
- Send quick questions to a cheap model and hard tasks to a strong one Use intent routing so a small model reads each turn and picks the model that fits it.
- Run your coding agent on a cheaper or different model Point Codex, Claude Code or Gemini CLI at DeepSeek, Kimi or GLM without hand-editing each agent's config.
- Point any base-URL tool at one local gateway Aim scripts and apps that take an OpenAI, Anthropic or Gemini base URL at magpie's local address.
- Use a plan you already pay for inside other agents Let OpenCode or Gemini CLI run on the ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot subscription you are already signed in to.
- Switch every agent's model setup with one named profile Save a Budget or Focus profile and flip all your agents between them in one move.
- Move your existing provider setup into one app Import providers from CC Switch, Claude Code, Codex or Alma instead of re-entering every key.
- Add a model login through an npm plugin Install an OpenCode or pi plugin so a sign-in flow becomes a usable provider for your agents.
