Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model. ### Is context-space or cc-switch more popular on GitHub? cc-switch has more GitHub stars (115,863 vs 812). Stars measure visibility, not whether either tool fits your constraints. ### Are context-space and cc-switch open source? Yes - both are open-source projects on GitHub (context-space: AGPL-3.0, cc-switch: MIT). ### Where can I find alternatives to context-space or cc-switch? GraphCanon lists graph-backed alternatives at [context-space alternatives](/tools/context-space-context-space/alternatives) and [cc-switch alternatives](/tools/farion1231-cc-switch/alternatives) ([context-space markdown twin](/tools/context-space-context-space/alternatives.md), [cc-switch markdown twin](/tools/farion1231-cc-switch/alternatives.md)), ranked by typed relationship edges rather than popularity votes. ### Is there a machine-readable version of this comparison? Yes. The markdown twin at [this comparison](/compare/context-space-context-space-vs-farion1231-cc-switch.md) mirrors this page for agents and LLM crawlers, with the same stats table and FAQ answers. ### Which is better maintained, context-space or cc-switch? context-space: Slowing. cc-switch: Very active. Compare maintenance labels, days since push, and release cadence in the trust section below - stars alone do not measure maintenance. ### Where are the full trust reports for context-space and cc-switch? GraphCanon publishes per-repo trust reports with dated maintenance, provenance, and scan summaries: [context-space trust report](/tools/context-space-context-space/trust); [cc-switch trust report](/tools/farion1231-cc-switch/trust). --- **Machine-readable endpoints** - JSON: [`/api/graphcanon/graph?tool=context-space-context-space`](/api/graphcanon/graph?tool=context-space-context-space) - LLM index: [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) - Full corpus: [/llms-full.txt](/llms-full.txt) _GraphCanon - The knowledge graph for AI development. https://www.graphcanon.com/_
