Fireconnect is an open-source CLI orchestration tool developed by Fireworks AI (fw-ai) designed to route various AI coding agents and IDE extensions to Fireworks AI inference endpoints. Instead of running a resident daemon or proxy server, it directly manages and mutates the configuration files of supported coding tools on the local machine. In daily operations, developers interact with Fireconnect via the command line using straightforward commands to toggle model configurations. It enables switching third-party CLI agents and IDEs—such as Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, and DeepSeek Harness—to run on Fireworks-hosted models. The orchestrator updates the native tool configurations in place and provides clean rollback mechanisms. A key differentiator for Fireconnect is its proxy-less design: running the `on` command updates the targeted tool's native configuration files, while running `off` restores the original configuration byte-for-byte. This removes the latency, maintenance overhead, and failure points associated with running local intermediary proxies or wrapper processes. Fireconnect is open-source software released under the Apache-2.0 license. It is distributed via a shell install script and npm/monorepo packages (`@packages/setup-cli`), offering a lightweight configuration bridge for teams standardizing on Fireworks AI endpoints.
