How to Set Up and Use Claude Delegator
Claude Delegator enables you to delegate coding tasks to other AI models (Codex and Gemini) directly from Claude Code. Leverage multiple AI models in a single workflow by routing specific tasks to the best-suited model, combining their strengths for more effective code generation and problem-solving.
Prerequisites
- Claude Code installed
- API keys for Codex (OpenAI) and/or Gemini (Google) if delegating to those models
- An MCP client such as Claude Desktop or Cursor
- Node.js 18+ installed
Install Claude Delegator
Use npx to install the Claude Delegator MCP server.
npx claude-delegatorAdd to MCP configuration
Register Claude Delegator in your Claude Desktop or Cursor config file.
{
"mcpServers": {
"claude-delegator": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["claude-delegator"]
}
}
}Configure API credentials
Set environment variables for Codex and Gemini API keys if you plan to delegate to those models. Check the repository README at https://github.com/jarrodwatts/claude-delegator for exact variable names.
Restart your client
Restart Claude Desktop or Cursor to load the Claude Delegator configuration.
Test delegation
Ask Claude to delegate a coding task to another model and compare results.

}Prompts to Try
Test multi-model delegation with these prompts.
1. "Delegate this function refactoring task to Codex and compare results"
2. "Ask Gemini for alternative approaches to this algorithm"
3. "Have both Codex and Gemini write unit tests for this code"
4. "Compare how different AI models approach this problem"
5. "Use Codex for implementation and Gemini for documentation"Troubleshooting Claude Delegator
API key authentication fails
Verify that your OpenAI and Google API keys are correctly set in environment variables. Check the repository README for exact variable naming conventions.
Delegation commands don't work
Ensure Claude Delegator is properly installed and loaded in your MCP client. Restart Claude Desktop or Cursor and check the client logs.
Rate limiting or API quota exceeded
Check your API usage and quota limits with each service provider. Some models may have lower rate limits for delegation workflows.
