🎯 What OmniRoute Solves — 30 Real Pain Points & Use Cases

Every developer using AI tools faces these problems daily. OmniRoute was built to solve them all — from cost overruns to regional blocks, from broken OAuth flows to protocol operations and enterprise observability.

💸 1. "I pay for an expensive subscription but still get interrupted by limits"

Developers pay $20–200/month for Claude Pro, Codex Pro, or GitHub Copilot. Even paying, quota has a ceiling — 5h of usage, weekly limits, or per-minute rate limits. Mid-coding session, the provider stops responding and the developer loses flow and productivity.

How OmniRoute solves it:

• Smart 4-Tier Fallback — If subscription quota runs out, automatically redirects to API Key → Cheap → Free with zero manual intervention
• Provider Limits Tracking — Cached quota snapshots refresh on a server-side schedule (default PROVIDER_LIMITS_SYNC_INTERVAL_MINUTES=70) with manual refresh available in the UI
• Multi-Account Support — Multiple accounts per provider with auto round-robin — when one runs out, switches to the next
• Custom Combos — Customizable fallback chains with 13 balancing strategies (priority, weighted, fill-first, round-robin, P2C, random, least-used, cost-optimized, strict-random, auto, lkgp, context-optimized, context-relay)
• Structured Combo Builder — Build combos step-by-step with explicit provider + model + account selection, including repeated providers and fixed-account targets
• Quota-Aware P2C — Power-of-two account selection now factors quota headroom, backoff, recent errors, and consecutive use
• Codex Business Quotas — Business/Team workspace quota monitoring directly in the dashboard

🔌 2. "I need to use multiple providers but each has a different API"

OpenAI uses one format, Claude (Anthropic) uses another, Gemini yet another. If a dev wants to test models from different providers or fallback between them, they need to reconfigure SDKs, change endpoints, deal with incompatible formats. Custom providers (FriendLI, NIM) have non-standard model endpoints.

How OmniRoute solves it:

• Unified Endpoint — A single http://localhost:20128/v1 serves as proxy for all 100+ providers
• Format Translation — Automatic and transparent: OpenAI ↔ Claude ↔ Gemini ↔ Responses API
• Response Sanitization — Strips non-standard fields (x_groq, usage_breakdown, service_tier) that break OpenAI SDK v1.83+
• Role Normalization — Converts developer → system for non-OpenAI providers; system → user for GLM/ERNIE
• Think Tag Extraction — Extracts <think> blocks from models like DeepSeek R1 into standardized reasoning_content
• Structured Output for Gemini — json_schema → responseMimeType/responseSchema automatic conversion
• stream defaults to false — Aligns with OpenAI spec, avoiding unexpected SSE in Python/Rust/Go SDKs

🌐 3. "My AI provider blocks my region/country"

Providers like OpenAI/Codex block access from certain geographic regions. Users get errors like unsupported_country_region_territory during OAuth and API connections. This is especially frustrating for developers from developing countries.

How OmniRoute solves it:

• 3-Level Proxy Config — Configurable proxy at 3 levels: global (all traffic), per-provider (one provider only), and per-connection/key
• Color-Coded Proxy Badges — Visual indicators: 🟢 global proxy, 🟡 provider proxy, 🔵 connection proxy, always showing the IP
• OAuth Token Exchange Through Proxy — OAuth flow also goes through the proxy, solving unsupported_country_region_territory
• Connection Tests via Proxy — Connection tests use the configured proxy (no more direct bypass)
• SOCKS5 Support — Full SOCKS5 proxy support for outbound routing
• TLS Fingerprint Spoofing — Browser-like TLS fingerprint via wreq-js to bypass bot detection
• 🔏 CLI Fingerprint Matching — Reorders headers and body fields to match native CLI binary signatures, drastically reducing account flagging risk. The proxy IP is preserved — you get both stealth and IP masking simultaneously

🆓 4. "I want to use AI for coding but I have no money"

Not everyone can pay $20–200/month for AI subscriptions. Students, devs from emerging countries, hobbyists, and freelancers need access to quality models at zero cost.

How OmniRoute solves it:

• Free Tier Providers Built-in — Native support for 100% free providers: Qoder (5 unlimited models via OAuth: kimi-k2-thinking, qwen3-coder-plus, deepseek-r1, minimax-m2, kimi-k2), Qwen (4 unlimited models: qwen3-coder-plus, qwen3-coder-flash, qwen3-coder-next, vision-model), Kiro (Claude + AWS Builder ID for free), Gemini CLI (180K tokens/month free)
• Ollama Cloud — Cloud-hosted Ollama models at api.ollama.com with free "Light usage" tier; use ollamacloud/<model> prefix
• Free-Only Combos — Chain gc/gemini-3-flash → if/kimi-k2-thinking → qw/qwen3-coder-plus = $0/month with zero downtime
• NVIDIA NIM Free Access — ~40 RPM dev-forever free access to 70+ models at build.nvidia.com (transitioning from credits to pure rate limits)
• Cost Optimized Strategy — Routing strategy that automatically chooses the cheapest available provider

🔒 5. "I need to protect my AI gateway from unauthorized access"

When exposing an AI gateway to the network (LAN, VPS, Docker), anyone with the address can consume the developer's tokens/quota. Without protection, APIs are vulnerable to misuse, prompt injection, and abuse.

How OmniRoute solves it:

• API Key Management — Generation, rotation, and scoping per provider with a dedicated /dashboard/api-manager page
• Model-Level Permissions — Restrict API keys to specific models (openai/*, wildcard patterns), with Allow All/Restrict toggle
• API Endpoint Protection — Require a key for /v1/models and block specific providers from the listing
• Auth Guard + CSRF Protection — All dashboard routes protected with withAuth middleware + CSRF tokens
• Rate Limiter — Per-IP rate limiting with configurable windows
• IP Filtering — Allowlist/blocklist for access control
• Prompt Injection Guard — Sanitization against malicious prompt patterns
• AES-256-GCM Encryption — Credentials encrypted at rest

🛑 6. "My provider went down and I lost my coding flow"

AI providers can become unstable, return 5xx errors, or hit temporary rate limits. If a dev depends on a single provider, they're interrupted. Without circuit breakers, repeated retries can crash the application.

How OmniRoute solves it:

• Request Queue & Pacing — Per-connection request buckets smooth bursts before they hit upstream rate caps
• Connection Cooldown — A single connection cools down after retryable failures with optional upstream Retry-After hints and exponential backoff
• Provider Circuit Breaker — The provider only trips after fallback is exhausted and the provider request still fails with provider-wide transient errors; connection-scoped 429 rate limits stay in Connection Cooldown
• Wait For Cooldown — The server can wait for the earliest connection cooldown to expire and retry the same client request automatically
• Anti-Thundering Herd — Mutex + semaphore protection against concurrent retry storms
• Combo Fallback Chains — If the primary provider fails, automatically falls through the chain with no intervention
• Health Dashboard — Uptime monitoring, provider circuit breaker states, cooldowns, cache stats, p50/p95/p99 latency

🔧 7. "Configuring each AI tool is tedious and repetitive"

Developers use Cursor, Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenClaw, Gemini CLI, Kilo Code... Each tool needs a different config (API endpoint, key, model). Reconfiguring when switching providers or models is a waste of time.

How OmniRoute solves it:

• CLI Tools Dashboard — Dedicated page with one-click setup for Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenClaw, Kilo Code, Antigravity, Cline
• GitHub Copilot Config Generator — Generates chatLanguageModels.json for VS Code with bulk model selection
• Onboarding Wizard — Guided 4-step setup for first-time users
• One endpoint, all models — Configure http://localhost:20128/v1 once, access 100+ providers

🔑 8. "Managing OAuth tokens from multiple providers is hell"

Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Copilot — all use OAuth 2.0 with expiring tokens. Developers need to re-authenticate constantly, deal with client_secret is missing, redirect_uri_mismatch, and failures on remote servers. OAuth on LAN/VPS is particularly problematic.

How OmniRoute solves it:

• Auto Token Refresh — OAuth tokens refresh in background before expiration
• OAuth 2.0 (PKCE) Built-in — Automatic flow for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Copilot, Kiro, Qwen, Qoder
• Multi-Account OAuth — Multiple accounts per provider via JWT/ID token extraction
• OAuth LAN/Remote Fix — Private IP detection for redirect_uri + manual URL mode for remote servers
• OAuth Behind Nginx — Uses window.location.origin for reverse proxy compatibility
• Remote OAuth Guide — Step-by-step guide for Google Cloud credentials on VPS/Docker

📊 9. "I don't know how much I'm spending or where"

Developers use multiple paid providers but have no unified view of spending. Each provider has its own billing dashboard, but there's no consolidated view. Unexpected costs can pile up.

How OmniRoute solves it:

• Cost Analytics Dashboard — Per-token cost tracking and budget management per provider
• Budget Limits per Tier — Spending ceiling per tier that triggers automatic fallback
• Per-Model Pricing Configuration — Configurable prices per model
• Usage Statistics Per API Key — Request count and last-used timestamp per key
• Analytics Dashboard — Stat cards, model usage chart, provider table with success rates and latency

🐛 10. "I can't diagnose errors and problems in AI calls"

When a call fails, the dev doesn't know if it was a rate limit, expired token, wrong format, or provider error. Fragmented logs across different terminals. Without observability, debugging is trial-and-error.

How OmniRoute solves it:

• Unified Logs Dashboard — 4 tabs: Request Logs, Proxy Logs, Audit Logs, Console
• Console Log Viewer — Real-time terminal-style viewer with color-coded levels, auto-scroll, search, filter
• SQLite Summary Logs — Request and proxy log indexes stay queryable across restarts without loading large payload blobs into SQLite
• Translator Playground — 4 debugging modes: Playground (format translation), Chat Tester (round-trip), Test Bench (batch), Live Monitor (real-time)
• Request Telemetry — p50/p95/p99 latency + X-Request-Id tracing
• File-Based Detail Artifacts — App logs rotate by size, retention days, and archive count; detailed request/response payloads live in DATA_DIR/call_logs/ and rotate independently of SQLite summaries
• System Info Report — npm run system-info generates system-info.txt with your full environment (Node version, OmniRoute version, OS, CLI tools, Docker/PM2 status). Attach it when reporting issues for instant triage.

🏗️ 11. "Deploying and maintaining the gateway is complex"

Installing, configuring, and maintaining an AI proxy across different environments (local, VPS, Docker, cloud) is labor-intensive. Problems like hardcoded paths, EACCES on directories, port conflicts, and cross-platform builds add friction.

How OmniRoute solves it:

• npm global install — npm install -g omniroute && omniroute — done
• Docker Multi-Platform — AMD64 + ARM64 native (Apple Silicon, AWS Graviton, Raspberry Pi)
• Docker Compose Profiles — base (no CLI tools) and cli (with Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw)
• Electron Desktop App — Native app for Windows/macOS/Linux with system tray, auto-start, offline mode
• Split-Port Mode — API and Dashboard on separate ports for advanced scenarios (reverse proxy, container networking)
• Cloud Sync — Config synchronization across devices via Cloudflare Workers
• DB Backups — Automatic backup, restore, export and import of all settings, with DISABLE_SQLITE_AUTO_BACKUP for externally managed backups

🌍 12. "The interface is English-only and my team doesn't speak English"

Teams in non-English-speaking countries, especially in Latin America, Asia, and Europe, struggle with English-only interfaces. Language barriers reduce adoption and increase configuration errors.

How OmniRoute solves it:

• Dashboard i18n — 30 Languages — All 500+ keys translated including Arabic, Bulgarian, Danish, German, Spanish, Finnish, French, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Dutch, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese (PT/BR), Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Swedish, Thai, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Chinese, Filipino, English
• RTL Support — Right-to-left support for Arabic and Hebrew
• Multi-Language READMEs — 30 complete documentation translations
• Language Selector — Globe icon in header for real-time switching

🔄 13. "I need more than chat — I need embeddings, images, audio"

AI isn't just chat completion. Devs need to generate images, transcribe audio, create embeddings for RAG, rerank documents, and moderate content. Each API has a different endpoint and format.

How OmniRoute solves it:

• Embeddings — /v1/embeddings with 6 providers and 9+ models
• Image Generation — /v1/images/generations with 10 providers and 20+ models (OpenAI, xAI, Together, Fireworks, Nebius, Hyperbolic, NanoBanana, Antigravity, SD WebUI, ComfyUI)
• Text-to-Video — /v1/videos/generations — ComfyUI (AnimateDiff, SVD) and SD WebUI
• Text-to-Music — /v1/music/generations — ComfyUI (Stable Audio Open, MusicGen)
• Audio Transcription — /v1/audio/transcriptions — Whisper + Nvidia NIM, HuggingFace, Qwen3
• Text-to-Speech — /v1/audio/speech — ElevenLabs, Nvidia NIM, HuggingFace, Coqui, Tortoise, Qwen3, Inworld, Cartesia, PlayHT, + existing providers
• Moderations — /v1/moderations — Content safety checks
• Reranking — /v1/rerank — Document relevance reranking
• Responses API — Full /v1/responses support for Codex

🧪 14. "I have no way to test and compare quality across models"

Developers want to know which model is best for their use case — code, translation, reasoning — but comparing manually is slow. No integrated eval tools exist.

How OmniRoute solves it:

• LLM Evaluations — Golden set testing with 10 pre-loaded cases covering greetings, math, geography, code generation, JSON compliance, translation, markdown, safety refusal
• 4 Match Strategies — exact, contains, regex, custom (JS function)
• Translator Playground Test Bench — Batch testing with multiple inputs and expected outputs, cross-provider comparison
• Chat Tester — Full round-trip with visual response rendering
• Live Monitor — Real-time stream of all requests flowing through the proxy

📈 15. "I need to scale without losing performance"

As request volume grows, without caching the same questions generate duplicate costs. Without idempotency, duplicate requests waste processing. Per-provider rate limits must be respected.

How OmniRoute solves it:

• Semantic Cache — Two-tier cache (signature + semantic) reduces cost and latency
• Request Idempotency — 5s deduplication window for identical requests
• Rate Limit Detection — Per-provider RPM, min gap, and max concurrent tracking
• Request Queue & Pacing — Configurable queue, pacing, and concurrency defaults in Settings → Resilience
• API Key Validation Cache — 3-tier cache for production performance
• Health Dashboard with Telemetry — p50/p95/p99 latency, cache stats, uptime

🤖 16. "I want to control model behavior globally"

Developers who want all responses in a specific language, with a specific tone, or want to limit reasoning tokens. Configuring this in every tool/request is impractical.

How OmniRoute solves it:

• System Prompt Injection — Global prompt applied to all requests
• Thinking Budget Validation — Reasoning token allocation control per request (passthrough, auto, custom, adaptive)
• 9 Routing Strategies — Global strategies that determine how requests are distributed
• Wildcard Router — provider/* patterns route dynamically to any provider
• Combo Enable/Disable Toggle — Toggle combos directly from the dashboard
• Manual Combo Ordering — Drag combo cards by handle and persist the order in SQLite
• Provider Toggle — Enable/disable all connections for a provider with one click
• Blocked Providers — Exclude specific providers from /v1/models listing

🧰 17. "I need MCP tools as first-class product capabilities"

Many AI gateways expose MCP only as a hidden implementation detail. Teams need a visible, manageable operation layer.

How OmniRoute solves it:

• MCP appears in the dashboard navigation and endpoint protocol tab
• Dedicated MCP management page with process, tools, scopes, and audit
• Built-in quick-start for omniroute --mcp and client onboarding

🧠 18. "I need A2A orchestration with sync + stream task paths"

Agent workflows need both direct replies and long-running streamed execution with lifecycle control.

How OmniRoute solves it:

• A2A JSON-RPC endpoint (POST /a2a) with message/send and message/stream
• SSE streaming with terminal state propagation
• Task lifecycle APIs for tasks/get and tasks/cancel

🛰️ 19. "I need real MCP process health, not guessed status"

Operational teams need to know if MCP is actually alive, not just whether an API is reachable.

How OmniRoute solves it:

• Runtime heartbeat file with PID, timestamps, transport, tool count, and scope mode
• MCP status API combining heartbeat + recent activity
• UI status cards for process/uptime/heartbeat freshness

📋 20. "I need auditable MCP tool execution"

When tools mutate config or trigger ops actions, teams need forensic traceability.

How OmniRoute solves it:

• SQLite-backed audit logging for MCP tool calls
• Filters by tool, success/failure, API key, and pagination
• Dashboard audit table + stats endpoints for automation

🔐 21. "I need scoped MCP permissions per integration"

Different clients should have least-privilege access to tool categories.

How OmniRoute solves it:

• 10 granular MCP scopes for controlled tool access
• Scope enforcement and visibility in MCP management UI
• Safe default posture for operational tooling

⚙️ 22. "I need operational controls without redeploying"

Teams need quick runtime changes during incidents or cost events.

How OmniRoute solves it:

• Switch combo activation directly from MCP dashboard
• Tune queue, cooldown, breaker, and wait settings from the dedicated Resilience page
• Review live provider breaker state from the Health dashboard

🔄 23. "I need live A2A task lifecycle visibility and cancellation"

Without lifecycle visibility, task incidents become hard to triage.

How OmniRoute solves it:

• Task listing/filtering by state/skill with pagination
• Drill-down on task metadata, events, and artifacts
• Task cancellation endpoint and UI action with confirmation

🌊 24. "I need active stream metrics for A2A load"

Streaming workflows require operational insight into concurrency and live connections.

How OmniRoute solves it:

• Active stream counters integrated into A2A status
• Last task timestamp and per-state counts
• A2A dashboard cards for real-time ops monitoring

🪪 25. "I need standard agent discovery for clients"

External clients and orchestrators need machine-readable metadata for onboarding.

How OmniRoute solves it:

• Agent Card exposed at /.well-known/agent.json
• Capabilities and skills shown in management UI
• A2A status API includes discovery metadata for automation

🧭 26. "I need protocol discoverability in the product UX"

If users cannot discover protocol surfaces, adoption and support quality drop.

How OmniRoute solves it:

• Consolidated Endpoints page with tabs for Proxy, MCP, A2A, and API Endpoints
• Inline service status toggles (Online/Offline) for MCP and A2A
• Links from overview to dedicated management tabs

🧪 27. "I need end-to-end protocol validation with real clients"

Mock tests are not enough to validate protocol compatibility before release.

How OmniRoute solves it:

• E2E suite that boots app and uses real MCP SDK client transport
• A2A client tests for discovery, send, stream, get, and cancel flows
• Cross-check assertions against MCP audit and A2A tasks APIs

📡 28. "I need unified observability across all interfaces"

Splitting observability by protocol creates blind spots and longer MTTR.

How OmniRoute solves it:

• Unified dashboards/logs/analytics in one product
• Health + audit + request telemetry across OpenAI, MCP, and A2A layers
• Operational APIs for status and automation

💼 29. "I need one runtime for proxy + tools + agent orchestration"

Running many separate services increases operational cost and failure modes.

How OmniRoute solves it:

• OpenAI-compatible proxy, MCP server, and A2A server in one stack
• Shared auth, resilience, data store, and observability
• Consistent policy model across all interaction surfaces

🚀 30. "I need to ship agentic workflows without glue-code sprawl"

Teams lose velocity when stitching multiple ad-hoc services and scripts.

How OmniRoute solves it:

• Unified endpoint strategy for clients and agents
• Built-in protocol management UIs and smoke validation paths
• Production-ready foundations (security, logging, resilience, backup)

📚 31. "My long sessions crash with 'context_length_exceeded' limits"

During deep debugging, long histories with tool results quickly exceed provider token windows, causing failed requests and orphaned context.

How OmniRoute solves it:

• Proactive Context Compression — Evaluates token budgets before the request hits upstream and proactively prunes old conversation history with a smart binary-search mechanism.
• Structural Integrity Guards — Automatically tracks explicit tool_use definitions and ensures that if a tool input is truncated, its corresponding tool_result is also safely removed, preventing API validation errors.
• Multi-Layer Dropping — Progressively drops system messages, regular messages, and finally enforces strict length limits without breaking conversational logic.

Démarrage Rapide

1) Install and run

npm install -g omniroute
omniroute

pnpm users: Run pnpm approve-builds -g after install to enable native build scripts required by better-sqlite3 and @swc/core:

pnpm install -g omniroute
pnpm approve-builds -g   # Select all packages → approve
omniroute

Dashboard opens at http://localhost:20128 and API base URL is http://localhost:20128/v1.

Arch Linux (AUR)

Arch Linux users can install the AUR package, which installs OmniRoute and provides a systemd user service:

yay -S omniroute-bin
systemctl --user enable --now omniroute.service

Command	Description
omniroute	Start server (PORT=20128, API and dashboard on same port)
omniroute --port 3000	Set canonical/API port to 3000
omniroute --mcp	Start MCP server (stdio transport)
omniroute --no-open	Don't auto-open browser
omniroute --help	Show help

Optional split-port mode:

PORT=20128 DASHBOARD_PORT=20129 omniroute
# API:       http://localhost:20128/v1
# Dashboard: http://localhost:20129

2) Uninstalling

When you no longer need OmniRoute, we provide two quick scripts for a clean removal:

Command	Action
npm run uninstall	Removes the system app but keeps your DB and configurations in ~/.omniroute.
npm run uninstall:full	Removes the app AND permanently erases all configurations, keys, and databases.

Note: To run these commands, navigate to the OmniRoute project folder (if you cloned it) and run them. Alternatively, if globally installed, you can simply run npm uninstall -g omniroute.

Long-Running Streaming Timeouts

For most deployments, you only need:

Variable	Default	Purpose
REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS	600000	Shared baseline for upstream response-start timeout, hidden Undici timeouts, TLS fingerprint requests, and API bridge request/proxy timeouts
STREAM_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS	inherits REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS	Maximum gap between streaming chunks before OmniRoute aborts the SSE stream

Backward compatibility is preserved: existing FETCH_TIMEOUT_MS, API_BRIDGE_PROXY_TIMEOUT_MS, and other per-layer timeout vars still work and override the shared baseline.

For Claude Code-compatible upstreams (anthropic-compatible-cc-*), OmniRoute also derives the outbound X-Stainless-Timeout header from the resolved fetch timeout so provider-side read timeouts stay aligned with your env configuration.

For third-party Claude Code-compatible reverse proxies, OmniRoute keeps the default anthropic-beta set conservative and, when Client Cache Control is left on Auto, only forwards client-provided cache_control markers. If the request does not include cache_control, OmniRoute does not inject bridge-owned markers.

Advanced overrides are available if you need finer control:

Variable	Default	Purpose
FETCH_TIMEOUT_MS	inherits REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS	Upstream response-start timeout used until response headers arrive
FETCH_HEADERS_TIMEOUT_MS	inherits FETCH_TIMEOUT_MS	Undici time limit for receiving upstream response headers
FETCH_BODY_TIMEOUT_MS	inherits FETCH_TIMEOUT_MS	Undici time limit between upstream body chunks (0 disables it)
FETCH_CONNECT_TIMEOUT_MS	30000	Undici TCP connect timeout
FETCH_KEEPALIVE_TIMEOUT_MS	4000	Undici idle keep-alive socket timeout
TLS_CLIENT_TIMEOUT_MS	inherits FETCH_TIMEOUT_MS	Timeout for TLS fingerprint requests made through wreq-js
API_BRIDGE_PROXY_TIMEOUT_MS	inherits REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS or 600000	Timeout for /v1 proxy forwarding from API port to dashboard port
API_BRIDGE_SERVER_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS	max(API_BRIDGE_PROXY_TIMEOUT_MS, 300000)	Incoming request timeout on the API bridge server
API_BRIDGE_SERVER_HEADERS_TIMEOUT_MS	60000	Incoming header timeout on the API bridge server
API_BRIDGE_SERVER_KEEPALIVE_TIMEOUT_MS	5000	Keep-alive timeout on the API bridge server
API_BRIDGE_SERVER_SOCKET_TIMEOUT_MS	0	Socket inactivity timeout on the API bridge server (0 disables it)

For streaming requests, FETCH_TIMEOUT_MS only covers connection setup / waiting for the first upstream response. Once the stream is active, OmniRoute will only abort on an actual stall (STREAM_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS) or Undici body inactivity (FETCH_BODY_TIMEOUT_MS).

If you run OmniRoute behind Nginx, Caddy, Cloudflare, or another reverse proxy, make sure the proxy timeouts are also higher than your OmniRoute stream/fetch timeouts.

2) Connect providers and create your API key

1. Open Dashboard → Providers and connect at least one provider (OAuth or API key).
2. Open Dashboard → Endpoints and create an API key.
3. (Optional) Open Dashboard → Combos and set your fallback chain.

3) Point your coding tool to OmniRoute

Base URL: http://localhost:20128/v1
API Key:  [copy from Endpoint page]
Model:    if/kimi-k2-thinking (or any provider/model prefix)

Works with Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Cline, OpenClaw, OpenCode, and OpenAI-compatible SDKs.

4) Enable and validate protocols (v2.0)

MCP (for tool-driven operations):

omniroute --mcp

Then connect your MCP client over stdio and test tools like:

• omniroute_get_health
• omniroute_list_combos

A2A (for agent-to-agent workflows):

curl http://localhost:20128/.well-known/agent.json

curl -X POST http://localhost:20128/a2a \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"quickstart","method":"message/send","params":{"skill":"quota-management","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Give me a short quota summary."}]}}'

5) Validate everything end-to-end (recommended)

npm run test:protocols:e2e

This suite validates real MCP and A2A client flows against a running app.

Alternative: run from source

cp .env.example .env
npm install
PORT=20128 DASHBOARD_PORT=20129 NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL=http://localhost:20129 npm run dev

🐳 Docker

OmniRoute is available as a public Docker image on Docker Hub.

Quick run:

docker run -d \
  --name omniroute \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  --stop-timeout 40 \
  -p 20128:20128 \
  -v omniroute-data:/app/data \
  diegosouzapw/omniroute:latest

With environment file:

# Copy and edit .env first
cp .env.example .env

docker run -d \
  --name omniroute \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  --stop-timeout 40 \
  --env-file .env \
  -p 20128:20128 \
  -v omniroute-data:/app/data \
  diegosouzapw/omniroute:latest

Using Docker Compose:

# Base profile (no CLI tools)
docker compose --profile base up -d

# CLI profile (Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw built-in)
docker compose --profile cli up -d

Dashboard support for Docker deployments now includes a one-click Cloudflare Quick Tunnel on Dashboard → Endpoints. The first enable downloads cloudflared only when needed, starts a temporary tunnel to your current /v1 endpoint, and shows the generated https://*.trycloudflare.com/v1 URL directly below your normal public URL.

Notes:

• Quick Tunnel URLs are temporary and change after every restart.
• Quick Tunnels are not auto-restored after an OmniRoute or container restart. Re-enable them from the dashboard when needed.
• Managed install currently supports Linux, macOS, and Windows on x64 / arm64.
• Managed Quick Tunnels default to HTTP/2 transport to avoid noisy QUIC UDP buffer warnings in constrained container environments. Set CLOUDFLARED_PROTOCOL=quic or auto if you want a different transport.
• Docker images bundle system CA roots and pass them to managed cloudflared, which avoids TLS trust failures when the tunnel bootstraps inside the container.
• SQLite runs in WAL mode. docker stop should be allowed to finish so OmniRoute can checkpoint the latest changes back into storage.sqlite.
• The bundled Compose files already set a 40s stop grace period. If you run the image directly, keep --stop-timeout 40 (or similar) so manual stops do not cut off shutdown cleanup.
• Set CLOUDFLARED_BIN=/absolute/path/to/cloudflared if you want OmniRoute to use an existing binary instead of downloading one.

Using Docker Compose with Caddy (HTTPS Auto-TLS):

OmniRoute can be securely exposed using Caddy's automatic SSL provisioning. Ensure your domain's DNS A record points to your server's IP.

🧪 Evaluations (Evals)

OmniRoute includes a built-in evaluation framework to test LLM response quality against a golden set. Access it via Analytics → Evals in the dashboard.

Built-in Golden Set

The pre-loaded "OmniRoute Golden Set" contains test cases for:

• Greetings, math, geography, code generation
• JSON format compliance, translation, markdown generation
• Safety refusal (harmful content), counting, boolean logic

Evaluation Strategies

Strategy	Description	Example
exact	Output must match exactly	"4"
contains	Output must contain substring (case-insensitive)	"Paris"
regex	Output must match regex pattern	"1.*2.*3"
custom	Custom JS function returns true/false	(output) => output.length > 10

📖 Setup Guide

Protocol Setup (MCP + A2A)

🧩 MCP Setup (Model Context Protocol)

Start MCP transport in stdio mode:

omniroute --mcp

Recommended validation flow:

1. Connect your MCP client over stdio.
2. Run omniroute_get_health.
3. Run omniroute_list_combos.
4. Open /dashboard/mcp to confirm heartbeat, activity, and audit.

Useful APIs for automation:

• GET /api/mcp/status
• GET /api/mcp/tools
• GET /api/mcp/audit
• GET /api/mcp/audit/stats

🤝 A2A Setup (Agent2Agent)

Discover the agent:

curl http://localhost:20128/.well-known/agent.json

Send a task:

curl -X POST http://localhost:20128/a2a \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"setup-a2a","method":"message/send","params":{"skill":"quota-management","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Summarize quota status."}]}}'

Manage lifecycle:

• GET /api/a2a/status
• GET /api/a2a/tasks
• GET /api/a2a/tasks/:id
• POST /api/a2a/tasks/:id/cancel

Operational UI:

• /dashboard/a2a for task/state/stream observability and smoke actions

🧪 End-to-end protocol validation

Validate both protocols with real clients:

npm run test:protocols:e2e

This verifies:

• MCP SDK client connect/list/call
• A2A discovery/send/stream/get/cancel
• Cross-check data in MCP audit and A2A task management APIs

Dépannage

Click to expand troubleshooting guide

"Language model did not provide messages"

• Provider quota exhausted → Check dashboard quota tracker
• Solution: Use combo fallback or switch to cheaper tier

Rate limiting

• Subscription quota out → Fallback to GLM/MiniMax
• Add combo: cc/claude-opus-4-7 → glm/glm-4.7 → if/kimi-k2-thinking

OAuth token expired

• Auto-refreshed by OmniRoute
• If issues persist: Dashboard → Provider → Reconnect

High costs

• Check usage stats in Dashboard → Costs
• Switch primary model to GLM/MiniMax
• Use free tier (Gemini CLI, Qoder) for non-critical tasks

Dashboard/API ports are wrong

• PORT is the canonical base port (and API port by default)
• API_PORT overrides only OpenAI-compatible API listener
• DASHBOARD_PORT overrides only dashboard/Next.js listener
• Set NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL to your dashboard/public URL (for OAuth callbacks)

Cloud sync errors

• Verify BASE_URL points to your running instance
• Verify CLOUD_URL points to your expected cloud endpoint
• Keep NEXT_PUBLIC_* values aligned with server-side values

First login not working

• Check INITIAL_PASSWORD in .env
• If unset, fallback password is 123456

No request logs

• call_logs in SQLite stores summary metadata for the Request Logs table and analytics views
• Detailed request/response payloads are written to DATA_DIR/call_logs/ as one JSON artifact per request
• Enable pipeline capture from Dashboard → Logs → Request Logs if you need detailed per-stage payloads
• Export Logs reads the artifact files on demand, while Export All includes the call_logs/ directory alongside storage.sqlite
• Set APP_LOG_TO_FILE=true if you also want application console logs in logs/application/app.log
• Adjust APP_LOG_MAX_FILE_SIZE, APP_LOG_RETENTION_DAYS, APP_LOG_MAX_FILES, and CALL_LOG_MAX_ENTRIES as needed

Connection test shows "Invalid" for OpenAI-compatible providers

• Many providers don't expose a /models endpoint
• OmniRoute v1.0.6+ includes fallback validation via chat completions
• Ensure base URL includes /v1 suffix

🔐 OAuth on a Remote Server

⚠️ Important for users running OmniRoute on a VPS, Docker, or any remote server

Why does Antigravity / Gemini CLI OAuth fail on remote servers?

The Antigravity and Gemini CLI providers use Google OAuth 2.0. Google requires the redirect_uri in the OAuth flow to exactly match one of the pre-registered URIs in the app's Google Cloud Console.

The OAuth credentials bundled in OmniRoute are registered for localhost only. When you access OmniRoute on a remote server (e.g. https://omniroute.myserver.com), Google rejects the authentication with:

Error 400: redirect_uri_mismatch

Solution: Configure your own OAuth credentials

You need to create an OAuth 2.0 Client ID in Google Cloud Console with your server's URI.

Step-by-step

1. Open Google Cloud Console

Go to: https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials

2. Create a new OAuth 2.0 Client ID

• Click "+ Create Credentials" → "OAuth client ID"
• Application type: "Web application"
• Name: anything you like (e.g. OmniRoute Remote)

3. Add Authorized Redirect URIs

In the "Authorized redirect URIs" field, add:

https://your-server.com/callback

Replace your-server.com with your server's domain or IP (include the port if needed, e.g. http://45.33.32.156:20128/callback).

4. Save and copy the credentials

After creating, Google will show the Client ID and Client Secret.

5. Set environment variables

In your .env (or Docker environment variables):

# For Antigravity:
ANTIGRAVITY_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com
ANTIGRAVITY_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=GOCSPX-your-secret

# For Gemini CLI:
GEMINI_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com
GEMINI_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=GOCSPX-your-secret
GEMINI_CLI_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=GOCSPX-your-secret

6. Restart OmniRoute

# npm:
npm run dev

# Docker:
docker restart omniroute

7. Try connecting again

Dashboard → Providers → Antigravity (or Gemini CLI) → OAuth

Google will now redirect correctly to https://your-server.com/callback.

---

Temporary workaround (without custom credentials)

If you don't want to set up your own credentials right now, you can still use the manual URL flow:

1. OmniRoute opens the Google authorization URL
2. After authorizing, Google tries to redirect to localhost (which fails on the remote server)
3. Copy the full URL from your browser's address bar (even if the page doesn't load)
4. Paste that URL into the field shown in the OmniRoute connection modal
5. Click "Connect"

This works because the authorization code in the URL is valid regardless of whether the redirect page loaded.

---

🇧🇷 Versão em Português

Por que o OAuth do Antigravity / Gemini CLI falha em servidores remotos?

Os provedores Antigravity e Gemini CLI usam Google OAuth 2.0 para autenticação. O Google exige que a redirect_uri usada no fluxo OAuth seja exatamente uma das URIs pré-cadastradas no Google Cloud Console do aplicativo.

As credenciais OAuth embutidas no OmniRoute estão cadastradas apenas para localhost. Quando você acessa o OmniRoute em um servidor remoto (ex: https://omniroute.meuservidor.com), o Google rejeita a autenticação com:

Error 400: redirect_uri_mismatch

Solução: Configure suas próprias credenciais OAuth

Você precisa criar um OAuth 2.0 Client ID no Google Cloud Console com a URI do seu servidor.

Passo a passo

1. Acesse o Google Cloud Console

Abra: https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials

2. Crie um novo OAuth 2.0 Client ID

• Clique em "+ Create Credentials" → "OAuth client ID"
• Tipo de aplicativo: "Web application"
• Nome: escolha qualquer nome (ex: OmniRoute Remote)

3. Adicione as Authorized Redirect URIs

No campo "Authorized redirect URIs", adicione:

https://seu-servidor.com/callback

Substitua seu-servidor.com pelo domínio ou IP do seu servidor (inclua a porta se necessário, ex: http://45.33.32.156:20128/callback).

4. Salve e copie as credenciais

Após criar, o Google mostrará o Client ID e o Client Secret.

5. Configure as variáveis de ambiente

No seu .env (ou nas variáveis de ambiente do Docker):

# Para Antigravity:
ANTIGRAVITY_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=seu-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com
ANTIGRAVITY_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=GOCSPX-seu-secret

# Para Gemini CLI:
GEMINI_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=seu-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com
GEMINI_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=GOCSPX-seu-secret
GEMINI_CLI_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=GOCSPX-seu-secret

6. Reinicie o OmniRoute

# Se usando npm:
npm run dev

# Se usando Docker:
docker restart omniroute

7. Tente conectar novamente

Dashboard → Providers → Antigravity (ou Gemini CLI) → OAuth

Agora o Google redirecionará corretamente para https://seu-servidor.com/callback e a autenticação funcionará.

---

Workaround temporário (sem configurar credenciais próprias)

Se não quiser criar credenciais próprias agora, ainda é possível usar o fluxo manual de URL:

1. O OmniRoute abrirá a URL de autorização do Google
2. Após você autorizar, o Google tentará redirecionar para localhost (que falha no servidor remoto)
3. Copie a URL completa da barra de endereço do seu browser (mesmo que a página não carregue)
4. Cole essa URL no campo que aparece no modal de conexão do OmniRoute
5. Clique em "Connect"

Este workaround funciona porque o código de autorização na URL é válido independente do redirect ter carregado ou não.
