# 🚀 OmniRoute — The Free AI Gateway
### Never stop coding. Connect every AI tool to **177 providers** — **50+ free** — through one endpoint.
**Plug Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Cline, Copilot & Antigravity into FREE Claude / GPT / Gemini. Auto-fallback.**
<br/>
**RTK + Caveman compression saves 1595% tokens. Never hit limits.**
<br/>
**~1.9B+ documented free tokens/month** — up to **~2.5B in your first month** with signup credits — aggregated across the free tiers, and the compression above stretches every one further. ([how we count →](docs/reference/FREE_TIERS.md#tldr--how-much-free-inference-does-omniroute-actually-aggregate))

# 🤔 Why OmniRoute?
</div>
> Stop juggling 10 dashboards, dead API keys, and surprise bills.
| ❌ The daily pain | ✅ How OmniRoute fixes it |
| ------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 📉 Subscription quota expires unused every month | **Maximize subscriptions** — track quota, use every token before reset |
| 🛑 Rate limits stop you mid-coding | **4-tier auto-fallback** — Subscription → API → Cheap → Free, in milliseconds |
| 🔥 Tool outputs (`git diff`, `grep`, logs) burn tokens | **RTK + Caveman compression** — save 1595% eligible tokens per request |
| 💸 Expensive APIs ($2050/mo per provider) | **Cost-optimized routing** — auto-route to the cheapest viable model |
| 🧰 Each AI tool wants its own setup | **One endpoint, every tool, one dashboard** |
| 🌍 AI blocked in your country | **3-level proxy** + TLS fingerprint stealth — use AI from anywhere |

# 🎯 Combos — The Flagship
</div>
> 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 |
##
### 🔀 Or build your own — 14 routing strategies
| Goal | Strategy / combo |
| --------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| 🥇 Drain my subscription before paying | `priority` / `fill-first` |
| ⚖️ Spread load across accounts | `round-robin` · `weighted` · `p2c` · `least-used` |
| 💸 Always cheapest viable model | `cost-optimized` · `auto/cheap` |
| 🧠 Hand off long context between models | `context-relay` · `context-optimized` |
| 🎲 Randomized / privacy routing | `random` · `strict-random` |
| 🤖 Just make it smart | `auto` (9-factor scoring) · `lkgp` · `reset-aware` |
<sub>The Auto-Combo engine scores every candidate on **9 factors** (health, quota, cost, latency, success rate, freshness…) — see [`docs/routing/AUTO-COMBO.md`](docs/routing/AUTO-COMBO.md).</sub>
##
### 🧱 Resilience is built in (3 independent layers)
| Layer | Scope | What it does |
| -------------------------- | ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 🔌 **Circuit breaker** | whole provider | Stops hammering a provider that's failing upstream; auto-probes to recover |
| 💤 **Connection cooldown** | one account / key | Skips a rate-limited key while other keys keep serving |
| 🎯 **Model lockout** | provider + model | Quarantines just one quota-limited model, not the whole connection |
```
Combo: "always-on" Strategy: priority
1. cc/claude-opus-4-7 ← subscription (use it fully)
2. cx/gpt-5.5 ← second subscription
3. glm/glm-5.1 ← cheap backup ($0.5/1M)
4. kr/claude-sonnet-4.5 ← FREE, unlimited (never fails)
Result: 4 layers of fallback = zero downtime

# 🔒 Private & Local-First
</div>
> Your keys, your machine, your data. OmniRoute is a **local proxy** — it never phones home.
- 🏠 **Runs 100% on your hardware** — npm, Docker, desktop, or your phone. No OmniRoute cloud sits in the request path.
- 🔐 **Credentials encrypted at rest** — API keys & OAuth tokens sealed with **AES-256-GCM**.
- 🚫 **Zero telemetry by default** — your prompts go only to the providers _you_ choose, nowhere else.
- 🛡️ **Hardened gateway** — API-key scoping, IP filtering, rate limits, prompt-injection guard, loopback-only process routes.
- 📜 **MIT licensed & fully open-source** — audit every line, self-host forever.

</div>
### 🤝 Connect an agent — and it controls OmniRoute itself
Expose OmniRoute over **MCP** or **A2A** and any capable agent gets the keys to the whole gateway — routing, providers, combos, cache, compression, memory — autonomously.
| Protocol | Endpoint | Use it for |
| ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| 🧰 **MCP (stdio)** | `omniroute --mcp` | Plug into Claude Desktop, Cursor, any MCP client |
| 🌊 **MCP (HTTP)** | `http://localhost:20128/api/mcp/stream` | Remote MCP — **37 tools**, 13 scopes, full audit trail |
| 📡 **MCP (SSE)** | `http://localhost:20128/api/mcp/sse` | Streaming MCP transport |
| 🤝 **A2A** | `http://localhost:20128/.well-known/agent.json` | Agent-to-agent, **JSON-RPC 2.0** + SSE, 5 skills |
```bash
# Give Claude Code the full OmniRoute toolset over MCP:
claude mcp add-server omniroute --type http --url http://localhost:20128/api/mcp/stream

> **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](https://github.com/leninejunior/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.** ✅

### 📖 How it works — pipeline, architecture & savings math</b></summary>
```
Client (10,000 tok) ──▶ OmniRoute Compression (7 options) ──▶ Provider (~1,080 tok, up to 95% saved)
```
Default stacked combo runs `RTK → Caveman`. When both act on the same tool/context payload, savings compound:
```txt
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. Auto-trigger compression by token threshold, or assign a compression pipeline per routing combo.

# ⚡ Quick Start
</div>
**1) Install & run**
```bash
npm install -g omniroute
omniroute
```
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 unlimited) or **OpenCode Free** (no auth) → done.
**3) Point your coding tool**
```txt
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**
```bash
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.

## 🙏 Acknowledgments

Special thanks to **[9router](https://github.com/decolua/9router)** by **[decolua](https://github.com/decolua)** — the original project that inspired this fork. OmniRoute builds upon that incredible foundation with additional features, multi-modal APIs, and a full TypeScript rewrite.
Special thanks to **[CLIProxyAPI](https://github.com/router-for-me/CLIProxyAPI)** by **[router-for-me](https://github.com/router-for-me)** — the original Go implementation that inspired this JavaScript port.
Special thanks to **[Caveman](https://github.com/JuliusBrussee/caveman)** by **[JuliusBrussee](https://github.com/JuliusBrussee)** (⭐ 51K+) — the viral "why use many token when few token do trick" project whose caveman-speak compression philosophy inspired OmniRoute's standard compression mode and 30+ filler/condensation regex rules.
Special thanks to **[RTK - Rust Token Killer](https://github.com/rtk-ai/rtk)** by **[RTK AI](https://github.com/rtk-ai)** — the high-performance command-output compression project whose terminal, build, test, git, and tool-output filtering model inspired OmniRoute's RTK engine, JSON filter DSL, raw-output recovery, and stacked RTK → Caveman compression pipeline.
Special thanks to **[Troglodita](https://github.com/leninejunior/troglodita)** by **[Lenine Júnior](https://github.com/leninejunior)** — the PT-BR token compression project ("por que gastar muitos tokens quando poucos resolve?") whose Portuguese-native rules power OmniRoute's pt-BR language pack: pleonasm reduction, filler removal tuned for Brazilian Portuguese grammar, and technical abbreviations for the dev BR community.
<br/>
## 💰 Free-Token Budget — see exactly how much free inference you have
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 **50+ provider pools / 530 models** into one honest number and shows it live on the dashboard (`/dashboard/free-tiers`).
- **~1.9B free tokens / month** (steady) — and **up to ~2.5B in your first month** with signup credits.
- **Pool-deduped, honest:** we count each shared free pool **once**, so the headline isn't inflated by rate-limit ceilings the way multi-billion competitor claims are. (The naïve per-model sum would read ~8B; we don't publish that.)
- **Per-model breakdown**, **live used / remaining** for the current month, and a **ToS flag** for the 19 providers whose terms don't permit proxying.
![Free-Tier Budget card (preview mockup)](docs/screenshots/free-tier-budget-card.svg)
> Preview mockup — a real screenshot lands once the `/dashboard/free-tiers` page is validated. Full methodology (pool dedupe, credit tiers, the 19 ToS-restricted providers): **[docs/reference/FREE_TIERS.md](docs/reference/FREE_TIERS.md)**.
