* refactor(cursor): extracts token extraction into shared lib
Moves tryIdeAuth/tryAgentAuth and supporting helpers out of the
auto-import route into src/lib/cursor/tokenExtractor.ts, and adds
an agent-cli-state.json fallback candidate path to tryAgentAuth
(alongside the existing auth.json candidate) so the extraction
logic can be reused by the upcoming renewal orchestrator.
* feat(cursor): adds cursor-agent-backed token renewal orchestrator
Builds the renewal orchestrator in src/lib/cursor/renewal.ts: a
bounded, unattended-safe --list-models nudge, a side-effect-free
status availability check, an in-flight spawn lock keyed by
command, and renewCursorConnection() which nudges cursor-agent
then independently re-scrapes the IDE and cursor-agent credential
sources to detect whichever refreshed. Extends cursorAgent.ts's
binary resolution and spawn helper with fixed-paths-only mode and
a SIGKILL follow-up for background use. Adds a generic keyed-mutex
utility (src/shared/utils/keyedMutex.ts) for serializing a
connection's renew-then-persist cycle, and forwards a busy-timeout
through driverFactory's node:sqlite fallback path.
* feat(cursor): proactively renews Cursor sessions in the sweep
Adds src/lib/tokenHealthCheckCursor.ts, sweep-side glue that calls
the renewal orchestrator and persists the result, wired into
tokenHealthCheck.ts's checkConnection() via a new Cursor-specific
branch placed ahead of the generic no-refresh-token fallthrough.
Carves out a non-terminal exception for a Cursor connection that
already landed at testStatus "expired" via the request-time 401
path, excluding permanently-dead account_deactivated connections.
Extends buildRefreshFailureUpdate() with an overrides param so
Cursor's failure path can use a distinct, non-terminal errorCode
instead of the generic refresh_failed/expired taxonomy.
* feat(cursor): adds local-only manual refresh route
Adds POST /api/providers/[id]/refresh-cursor, a dedicated
loopback-only route that calls the renewal orchestrator on demand
for a single Cursor connection, bounded by a 30s per-connection
cooldown. Classifies the new route in LOCAL_ONLY_API_PATTERNS and
closes the manage-scope-bypass gap for dynamic-segment spawn-capable
routes under /api/providers/ via a new SPAWN_CAPABLE_PATTERNS /
SPAWN_CAPABLE_PATTERN_ANCESTORS mechanism, which also retroactively
covers the pre-existing /login route. The existing shared
/api/providers/[id]/refresh route is untouched and stays
remote-reachable for every other provider.
* feat(cursor): surfaces a dismissible cursor-agent nudge
Adds GET /api/providers/cursor/agent-availability, a credential-free
LOCAL_ONLY route returning only { cursorAgentAvailable: boolean },
backed by a 5-minute cached wrapper around the renewal orchestrator's
existing availability check. Surfaces a dismissible dashboard banner
on the Cursor provider page suggesting cursor-agent installation
when it isn't detected, following the existing dismissible-banner
convention. Also fixes a pre-existing bracket character in a
routeGuard.ts comment that was silently truncating
check-openapi-security-tiers.mjs's view of LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES.
* fix(cursor): wires manual refresh button to the new route
Branches handleRefreshToken to call the dedicated Cursor refresh
route instead of the generic /refresh route, which silently 502s
for Cursor connections today since they carry no refresh token.
Every other provider's refresh behavior is unaffected. Adds the
cursorSessionUnchanged i18n key and syncs it (plus a pre-existing,
unrelated 28-key backlog) across all 42 locale files.
* fix(cursor): addresses Phase 4/4.5 review findings
Restores the legacy stdout/stderr auth-pattern fallback in
checkCursorAgentAvailability() that the plan's Task 2 Step 4
required but the implementation had dropped. Threads an optional
deps parameter through checkCursorConnectionIfNeeded() so its
error branch is reachable in tests, and switches both it and the
manual-refresh route to exhaustive switch statements over the
renewal result. Adds a short-lived host-keyed dedup cache around
tryIdeAuth() so multiple due Cursor connections sharing a host
don't each open the same state.vscdb file in one sweep tick.
Adds opportunistic eviction to the manual-refresh cooldown map,
an outer try/catch to the availability route for defense-in-depth
consistency with the plan's other routes, and corrects a stale
JSDoc claim about the /login route's auth check. Documents the
now-empirically-confirmed agent-cli-state.json schema mismatch
found while validating against a real cursor-agent install.
* docs(cursor): adds changelog fragments for the renewal plan
Adds one fragment per user-facing outcome per changelog.d/README.md's
convention for a PR that both fixes and adds. PR number placeholder
to be filled in once the PR is opened.
* fix(i18n): translates the new Cursor keys into Vietnamese
The i18n:sync-ui run in an earlier commit left __MISSING__
sentinels for the 4 new Cursor keys in every locale, but
Vietnamese has a dedicated completeness test requiring zero
internal missing markers. Provides real translations for
cursorSessionUnchanged, cursorAgentNudgeTitle,
cursorAgentNudgeBody, and cursorAgentNudgeDismiss.
* fix(cursor): addresses quality-gate Layer 1.5 findings
Restores a comment that misrepresented execFile's actual argv shape
after an earlier bracket-removal fix, this time avoiding literal
closing-bracket characters entirely so the openapi checker's naive
array parser can't be broken by either version. Bounds the sweep-
and manual-route-triggered tryIdeAuth() busy-timeout to 250ms
(down from the interactive auto-import path's 2000ms), since both
share the main event loop with all other in-flight requests and
should fail fast on a WAL-lock collision rather than block the
whole instance for up to ~4s. Has the manual refresh route bypass
the sweep's IDE-auth dedup cache so a click always sees a fresh
read, consistent with this plan's existing "manual actions never
see stale cached data" convention. Documents the previously-missing
agent-availability route in ROUTE_GUARD_TIERS.md's spawn-capable
table.
* fix(cursor): adds SIGKILL follow-up to the status-check spawn
Matches the nudge spawn's existing SIGTERM+SIGKILL pattern so an
unresponsive cursor-agent status check can't leak a lingering
process if it ignores SIGTERM.
* docs(cursor): fills in the PR number for changelog fragments
Renames the 3 changelog.d fragments to their PR-numbered filenames and replaces the (#PR) placeholder with #9173, now that the PR exists.
* fix(cursor): corrects changelog fragments to reference PR #9173
The prior commit only staged the git mv rename — a git add invocation with a stale (pre-rename) pathspec aborted before the actual (#PR) -> (#9173) content edit was staged, so the rename landed without the fix it was meant to carry. This captures the actual content change.
* docs(cursor): regenerates the agent-skills catalog for the new route
check:agent-skills-sync (CI's Merge integrity gate) requires SKILL.md files to stay in sync with the live route catalog. Adding /api/providers/cursor/agent-availability in an earlier commit needed a regen this branch never ran.
* chore(quality): rebaselines file-size caps grown by agentrouter merges
Two already-merged agentrouter commits (564c204ef, ec150a006) on release/v3.8.50 grew open-sse/executors/base.ts, open-sse/handlers/chatCore.ts, and tests/unit/chatcore-translation-paths.test.ts past their frozen caps before this PR branched — unrelated to the Cursor renewal changes here. No PR branch is left to fix the growth in-place, so the caps are bumped to the current real sizes, following the existing release-green rebaseline precedent in this file.
* fix(sse): imports getModel helpers from db/models, not localDb
A recently-merged agentrouter commit added a @/lib/localDb import in chatCore.ts, violating the no-restricted-imports rule (Hard Rule #2 — never barrel-import from localDb.ts). Points the import at the owning module, src/lib/db/models.ts, where both functions are actually defined, and prunes the now-stale suppression entry.
* fix(sse): scopes CC-relay anthropic-beta to its own requestDefaults
Two already-merged agentrouter commits widened usesClaudeCodeProtocol()'s native-Claude system-transform block (billing header + selectBetaFlags-derived anthropic-beta) to also run for generic CC-compatible relay connections, not just real claude traffic and agentrouter's own wire-image mimicry. selectBetaFlags() has no visibility into a relay's own providerSpecificData.requestDefaults, so its header replacement silently wiped out an earlier context-1m append and force-included redact-thinking regardless of the relay's own opt-in. Restores both for plain CC-compatible relays only; real claude/agentrouter traffic is unaffected.
Also bumps four stale hardcoded Codex/Claude Code CLI version-string test assertions (0.144.1->0.146.0, 2.1.219->2.1.220) that drifted when the same two commits bumped the version constants without updating their tests, and rebaselines base.ts's frozen file-size cap for this fix's own +35 lines.
* fix(sse): preserves bare CC-relay native treatment and context-1m
The previous commit's fix was too broad in one direction: excluding ALL CC-compatible relays from the native-Claude header block broke two pre-existing tests (cc-compatible-provider.test.ts, v3.6.6) that rely on that treatment for a 'vanilla' relay with no providerSpecificData.requestDefaults configured.
Refines the gate to this whole native-Claude header-replacement block: replace headers for real claude traffic, agentrouter's wire-image mimicry, OR a CC-relay with no requestDefaults at all — only a relay with EXPLICIT requestDefaults (context1m/redactThinking/summarizeThinking) gets to keep buildHeaders()'s own correctly-computed header set. A redact-thinking-beta strip (unconditional, a no-op when native treatment didn't apply) covers the one remaining gap: selectBetaFlags() force-includes it for a bare relay's opaque client, which a bare relay never explicitly opted into.
Verified against all three previously-conflicting pre-existing tests simultaneously: executor-default-base.test.ts's '1M beta' test, both cc-compatible-provider.test.ts SSE-forcing tests, and provider-request-failure-pipeline.test.ts's 'keeps request beta headers' test (the last of which was already broken by the raw agentrouter merge, confirmed via direct comparison against that exact commit).
* fix(sse): fills in remaining stale CLI version literals
The same two agentrouter commits bumped Codex/Claude Code CLI version constants (0.144.1->0.146.0, 2.1.219->2.1.220) without updating every hardcoded test assertion. This round covers the ones the previous version-string commit missed: the anthropic-cache-fingerprint billing-version constant, a cc-bridge-transforms body assertion, the UI-mirror parity test's own snapshot plus its RoutingTab.tsx source of truth, an integration test's User-Agent assertion (inconsistent with its own dynamic Version assertion two lines up), and the translate-path golden snapshot. Also updates a stale doc comment referencing the old literal by value instead of by constant name.
* fix(cursor): imports from db/ modules, not the localDb barrel
Both files violated Hard Rule #2 (never barrel-import from localDb.ts) — a genuine lint error that had gone uncaught locally. refresh-cursor/route.ts imported getCachedProviderConnectionById from @/lib/localDb instead of its owning module, @/lib/db/readCache. tokenHealthCheckCursor.ts copied the same pattern from its sibling tokenHealthCheckCopilot.ts (an existing, already-suppressed violation) for updateProviderConnection; imports it from @/lib/db/providers instead, with no circular-import fallout (verified via the existing token-health-check-cursor and refresh-cursor-route test suites).
* fix(db): removes stale raw-SQL allowlist entry for cursor route
The cursor auto-import route no longer contains raw SQL — that query
now lives in src/lib/cursor/tokenExtractor.ts, outside the
route/handler scope check-db-rules scans. The allowlist entry was
stale, tripping the stale-enforcement gate.
* fix(test): registers cursor test files in stryker tap.testFiles
Three unit test files covering mutation-tested modules
(route-guard-cursor-agent-availability, route-guard-cursor-refresh,
cursor-renewal) were missing from stryker.conf.json's tap.testFiles,
tripping the mutation-test-coverage gate's drift detection.
* chore(ci): retriggers checks (stuck GH Actions runner on shard 2/4)
* fix(sse): restores CC-relay context1m/redact-thinking test coverage
Rebasing onto release/v3.8.50's new tip (35405be60, an unrelated
agentrouter protocol-inference commit) silently flipped two assertions
this branch's own earlier fix (687fbda62) depends on, in the same test
files that commit touched for other reasons:
- executor-default-base.test.ts: calls[0] (a bare CC-relay with no
requestDefaults) expected redact-thinking-beta absent; flipped to
present. calls[1] (context1m+redactThinking requestDefaults) expected
the context-1m beta preserved; flipped to absent.
- provider-request-failure-pipeline.test.ts: expected Accept:
text/event-stream and the context-1m beta present for a relay with
explicit requestDefaults; flipped to application/json and absent.
35405be60 did not touch open-sse/executors/base.ts at all, so these
were test-only edits made without visibility into the still-unmerged
CC-relay header-preservation fix on this branch — they quietly matched
the assertions back to the pre-fix (buggy) behavior instead. Restores
the original, validated expectations; all three interdependent test
files (executor-default-base, cc-compatible-provider,
provider-request-failure-pipeline) verified passing together again.
* ci: re-trigger checks after GitHub Actions incident (2026-08-07, resolved)
* ci: re-trigger checks (previous push event was dropped)
* fix(quality): restore dropped vi.json cursor-renewal keys + rebaseline test growth
vi.json was missing 4 keys (cursorSessionUnchanged, cursorAgentNudgeTitle/Body/Dismiss) that this PR's own pre-merge branch had translated -- the original merge's 'git checkout --theirs' resolution for the 7 conflicted locale files discarded them since upstream's vi.json has no cursor-token-renewal feature. Restored from pre-merge tip a38003e30. Also rebaselines combo-routing-engine.test.ts (3457->3464) for the comment growth from the ALL_ACCOUNTS_INACTIVE fix, caught by CI's PR-mode check:file-size.
* chore(tests): drop explanatory comments on ALL_TARGETS_SKIPPED assertions
Kept the assertion value fix (ALL_ACCOUNTS_INACTIVE -> ALL_TARGETS_SKIPPED); the comments were unnecessary. Reverts the file-size baseline bump these comments caused (combo-routing-engine.test.ts back to its original 3457).
💰 ~1.53B Free Tokens / Month
Stacking free tiers by hand is painful — dozens of SDKs, dozens of rate limits, and no idea how much you actually have. OmniRoute aggregates the documented free tiers of 43 provider pools / 516 models into one honest number and shows it live on the dashboard (
/dashboard/free-tiers).
Animated summary of the live
/dashboard/free-tierspage. Full methodology (pool dedupe, credit tiers, provider terms): docs/reference/FREE_TIERS.md.These figures are re-audited every two weeks against the live catalog and move both ways — a provider ends a free tier and the number drops; a new one lands and it climbs. We publish what the catalog actually computes, never a rounded-up best case.

🎯 Combos — The Flagship
A combo is a chain of models OmniRoute routes across automatically. Quota runs out, a provider fails, or costs spike — the combo silently slides to the next model. This is what makes OmniRoute unbreakable. 🛡️
⚡ Zero-config — just use auto
No combo to create. Set your model to auto (or a variant) and OmniRoute builds a virtual combo from your connected providers, scored live:
| Model ID | What it optimizes for |
|---|---|
auto | 🎯 Balanced default (LKGP — sticks to your last good provider) |
auto/coding | 🧑💻 Quality-first weights for code generation |
auto/fast | ⚡ Lowest latency first |
auto/cheap | 💰 Cheapest per token first |
auto/offline | 🔋 Most quota / rate-limit headroom first |
auto/smart | 🔭 Quality-first + 10% exploration to discover better models |

🔌 Full CLI + A2A & MCP
Beyond the server, OmniRoute is a full command-line cockpit with 80+ commands, plus open agent protocols so an AI agent can drive it on its own.
⌨️ A real CLI (not just start)
omniroute # serve gateway + dashboard (port 20128)
omniroute chat # interactive TUI chat client (slash: /model /combo /skill /memory)
omniroute setup # guided first-run wizard
omniroute doctor # diagnose providers, ports, native deps
🛰️ Remote mode — run the CLI here, OmniRoute on a VPS
OmniRoute on a server? Drive it from your laptop with the same CLI. Log in once with a scoped access token; every command then targets the remote.
omniroute connect 192.168.0.15 # password → scoped token, saved as a context
omniroute models list # ← runs against the REMOTE server
omniroute configure codex # ← picks a remote model, writes a local Codex profile
omniroute tokens create --name ci --scope read # mint narrower tokens for other machines
omniroute contexts use default # ← switch back to the local server
Tokens are scoped read / write / admin; process-spawning routes stay loopback-only.
📖 Remote Mode
🤝 Connect an agent — and it controls OmniRoute itself
Expose OmniRoute over MCP, A2A, a REST API, webhooks or a remote CLI — any capable agent (or your own code) gets the keys to the whole gateway: routing, providers, combos, cache, compression, memory — autonomously. HTTP endpoints below are served under http://localhost:20128.
| Interface | Endpoint / command | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| 🧰 MCP (stdio) | omniroute --mcp | Plug into Claude Desktop, Cursor, any MCP client |
| 🌊 MCP (HTTP) | /api/mcp/stream | Remote MCP — 105 tools, 31 scopes, full audit trail |
| 📡 MCP (SSE) | /api/mcp/sse | Streaming MCP transport |
| 🤝 A2A | /.well-known/agent.json | Agent-to-agent, JSON-RPC 2.0 + SSE, 6 skills |
| 🌐 REST API | /v1/* | OpenAI-compatible — chat, embeddings, images, audio, OCR |
| 🔔 Webhooks | /api/webhooks | Push events (usage, quota, errors, routing) to your URL |
| 🛰️ Remote CLI | omniroute connect | Drive a remote instance with scoped access tokens |
# Give Claude Code the full OmniRoute toolset over MCP:
claude mcp add-server omniroute --type http --url http://localhost:20128/api/mcp/stream

🗜️ Save 15–95% Tokens — Automatically
📖 How it works — pipeline, architecture & savings math
Default stacked combo runs RTK → Caveman. When both act on the same tool/context payload, savings compound:
combined = 1 − (1 − RTK) × (1 − Caveman_input)
average = 1 − (1 − 0.80) × (1 − 0.46) = 89.2%
range = 78.4 – 94.6%
Code blocks, URLs, JSON and structured data are always protected by the preservation engine.
Why use many tokens when few tokens do the trick? Every request passes through OmniRoute's compression pipeline transparently — no client changes. It's now a stack of 12 composable engines that run in order and mix & match per routing combo — building on ideas from RTK, Caveman (⭐ 90K+), LLMLingua-2, and Troglodita (PT-BR).
🧱 The 12-engine stack
Engines run in pipeline order; each is independently toggleable and configurable per combo:
| # | Engine | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Session-Dedup | Drops content repeated across turns (content-addressed, cross-turn) |
| 2 | CCR | Archives large blocks behind retrieve markers, fetched on demand |
| 3 | Lite | Whitespace + image-URL trimming (latency-light baseline) |
| 4 | RTK | Smart tool-result filtering, dedup & truncation (command-aware) |
| 5 | Responses Tool Output | Lossless-first JSON + bounded diagnostic compression for shell/patch/search/build outputs (Responses API) |
| 6 | Headroom | Lossless tabular compaction of JSON arrays (~30%) via a vendored GCF codec |
| 7 | Relevance | Extractive sentence scoring against the last user query |
| 8 | Caveman | Rule-based prose compression (~65–75% on output) |
| 9 | Aggressive | Summarization + progressive aging of old turns |
| 10 | LLMLingua-2 | ML semantic pruning via MobileBERT ONNX — code-safe, async |
| 11 | Ultra | Heuristic token pruning with an optional small-model (SLM) tier |
| 12 | OmniGlyph | Experimental context-as-image encoding routed to Claude Fable 5 (most aggressive; opt-in) |
Code blocks, URLs and structured data are always preserved byte-perfect. One-click presets combine the engines:
| Mode | Savings | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 🪶 Lite | ~15% | Always-on safe default |
| 🪨 Standard (Caveman) | ~30% | Daily coding |
| ⚡ Aggressive | ~50% | Long tool-heavy sessions |
| 🔥 Ultra | ~75% | Maximum savings |
| 🧰 RTK | 60–90% | Shell/test/build/git output |
| 🔗 Stacked (RTK → Caveman) | 78–95% | Mixed prompts + tool logs |
Real example — Standard mode:
Before (69 tokens): "The reason your React component is re-rendering is likely because you're creating a new object reference on each render cycle. When you pass an inline object as a prop, React's shallow comparison sees it as a different object every time, which triggers a re-render. I would recommend using useMemo to memoize the object."
After (19 tokens): "New object ref each render. Inline object prop = new ref = re-render. Wrap in useMemo."
Same answer. 72% fewer tokens. Zero accuracy loss. ✅
PT-BR example — Troglodita mode:
Antes (42 tokens): "O problema é que o componente está re-renderizando porque uma nova referência de objeto está sendo criada em cada ciclo de renderização. Eu recomendaria usar useMemo."
Depois (12 tokens): "Re-render: ref nova cada ciclo (objeto inline recriado). Usar
useMemo."Mesma resposta. ~70% menos tokens. Precisão técnica intacta. ✅
🎚️ Beyond the engines — output styles, the adaptive dial & per-request control
The 12 engines above shrink what goes in. Three more layers shape how, when, and what comes out:
- 🪄 Output Styles (output-axis steering) — inject deterministic, cache-safe response-shaping instructions; combinable, each at
lite/full/ultraintensity. Adding a style is a one-line registry entry:- Terse prose — drop filler / articles / hedging; keep technical substance exact.
- Less code — "lazy senior dev" YAGNI: smallest working change, no unrequested scaffolding.
- Terse CJK (文言) — classical-Chinese ultra-terse style (locale-gated to
zh).
- 🎯 Adaptive context-budget (the dial) — instead of one on/off token threshold, escalate the cheapest, most-lossless engines only as far as needed to fit the model's context window. Policy:
reserve-output(default, model-aware) ·percentage·absolute. Mode:floor(guarantee fit) ·replace-autotrigger(your explicit choice wins) ·off(legacy threshold). - 🎛️ Where compression is decided (precedence, high → low) — per-request
x-omniroute-compressionheader › routing-combo override › active named profile › adaptive / auto-trigger › panel default › off. The applied plan echoes back in theX-OmniRoute-Compression: <mode>; source=<source>response header.
Auto-trigger by token threshold, flip on the adaptive dial, pin a named profile, set a one-off per request, or assign a pipeline per routing combo — whichever fits the workload. An opt-in offline eval harness (npm run eval:compression) scores fidelity vs. savings on a pinned corpus before you promote a change.

⚡ Quick Start
1) Install & run
npm install -g omniroute
omniroute
💡 See
npm warn ERESOLVEor peer-dep warnings? They're harmless.
Dashboard at http://localhost:20128 · API at http://localhost:20128/v1.
2) Connect a FREE provider (no signup)
Dashboard → Providers → connect Kiro AI (free Claude, ~50 credits/month per account) or OpenCode Free (no auth) → done.
3) Point your coding tool
Base URL: http://localhost:20128/v1
API Key: [copy from Dashboard → Endpoints]
Model: auto (zero-config smart routing — or any provider/model)
4) Verify it's working
curl http://localhost:20128/v1/models -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"
You should see your connected models listed. 🎉 That's it — start coding, and OmniRoute auto-routes & falls back for you.
If your client cannot send custom headers, OmniRoute also exposes tokenized compatibility aliases:
OpenAI catalog: http://localhost:20128/vscode/YOUR_KEY/
OpenAI models: http://localhost:20128/vscode/YOUR_KEY/models
OpenAI chat: http://localhost:20128/vscode/YOUR_KEY/chat/completions
OpenAI responses: http://localhost:20128/vscode/YOUR_KEY/responses
Ollama chat: http://localhost:20128/vscode/YOUR_KEY/api/chat
Ollama tags: http://localhost:20128/vscode/YOUR_KEY/api/tags
Use these only for clients that cannot attach Authorization: Bearer .... Header auth remains the preferred mode.

🦭 Podman
# 1. Prepare the bind-mounted data directory
mkdir -p data
# 2. Linux + local rootless Podman only (never a remote Podman Machine client):
podman unshare chown 1000:1000 ./data
# 3. Set the runtime hint, build the local Compose image, and start
echo "CONTAINER_HOST=podman" >> .env
podman compose --profile base up -d --build
On macOS or Windows, Podman uses a remote Podman Machine: skip podman unshare and
follow the topology-specific data directory guidance.
📖 Podman Guide — Compose builds, Podman Machine, and Linux/systemd Quadlet setup.
⚡ Faster / leaner install (skip the native build)
The native SQLite engine (better-sqlite3) is an optional dependency, so a global
install never blocks on compiling from source: it uses a prebuilt binary when one matches
your platform/Node, and otherwise falls back transparently to a pure-JS engine
(node:sqlite on Node 22+, else the bundled sql.js WASM) — no build tools required.
To skip the post-install native warm-up entirely (CI, headless, or slow machines):
OMNIROUTE_SKIP_POSTINSTALL=1 npm install -g omniroute # CI=1 also skips it
For the fastest installs prefer pnpm (content-addressed store + hard links — see above).
For a dashboard-free, headless runtime use the Docker base profile (above) or the
Termux guide. The CLI and the web dashboard are served by the
same process on one port, so there is no separate CLI-only package today.

📊 Stars
🙏 Acknowledgments
OmniRoute stands on the shoulders of giants. It started as a fork of 9router and a TypeScript port of the Go project CLIProxyAPI — and from there, every subsystem below was inspired by an open-source project that got there first. Each one shaped a concrete piece of OmniRoute. This is our thank-you to all of them. 🙏
⭐ star counts as of July 2026 — go give these projects a star.
🧬 Lineage & gateway

| Letta (MemGPT) | 23.9k | Stateful agents with tiered memory — inspired our Context Control & Recovery (CCR) tiered model. |
| WFGY | 1.8k | The ProblemMap taxonomy of 16 recurring RAG/LLM failure modes — the shared vocabulary in our troubleshooting guide. |
🛰️ Traffic inspection, MITM & transparent proxy
| Project | ⭐ | How it inspired OmniRoute |
|---|---|---|
| llm-interceptor | 49 | MITM interception/analysis of coding-assistant ↔ LLM traffic — our Traffic Inspector ports its SSE merge, conversation normalization, host passthrough and secret masking (MIT). |

| Langfuse | 31.4k | Its trace → span → generation observability model shaped our Compression Studio waterfall. |
| Kiali | 3.6k | Istio service-mesh observability — inspired our circuit-breaker badges and error-edge visuals in the Routing/Combo Studio. |
| lobe-icons | 2.2k | AI/LLM brand logos that render the provider icons across our dashboard. |
🛡️ Security
| Project | ⭐ | How it inspired OmniRoute |
|---|---|---|
| awesome-secure-defaults | 710 | A curated list of secure-by-default libraries that guides our security choices (Helmet.js, DOMPurify, ssrf-req-filter, safe-regex, Google Tink). |
