Choose cc-switch if…
- cc-switch is primarily Rust; mcp-use is TypeScript.
- Tags unique to cc-switch: hermes-agent, hermes, codex, desktop-app.
- More GitHub stars (116k vs 10k) - visibility, not fit.
When NOT to use cc-switch
- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
Choose mcp-use if…
- mcp-use is primarily TypeScript; cc-switch is Rust.
- Tags unique to mcp-use: llms, ai, claude-connectors, agentic-framework.
- Also covers LLM Frameworks.
When NOT to use mcp-use
- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
