OmniRoute is an open-source AI gateway that connects coding tools like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Cline, Copilot, and Antigravity to 237 AI providers through a single endpoint. Built in TypeScript under the MIT license by diegosouzapw, it has passed 10,000 GitHub stars on the promise of "never stop coding" — when one provider hits a rate limit or quota, the gateway automatically falls back to another, including more than 90 free tiers. ## One Endpoint, 237 Providers The core idea is aggregation: instead of configuring each AI tool against a single vendor API, OmniRoute exposes one endpoint that routes requests across 237 providers spanning Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Qwen, and many others. The project documents roughly 1.6 billion free tokens per month aggregated across provider free tiers, plus a long tail of permanently free, no-cap providers — a practical way for developers to keep working when paid quotas run out. ## Token Compression and Routing Strategies OmniRoute ships two stacked prompt-compression layers, RTK and Caveman, which the project reports can cut token usage by 15–95% depending on content. On top of that sit 17 routing strategies — including combos that mix providers by cost, speed, and availability — with smart auto-fallback so a failed or throttled request transparently retries elsewhere. ## Built for Agentic Tooling Beyond plain chat completions, the gateway supports MCP (Model Context Protocol) and A2A (agent-to-agent) integration alongside multimodal APIs, so agent frameworks and coding assistants can route their tool-augmented workloads through it. Distribution is flexible: an npm package, Docker images, and a desktop/PWA app with a management dashboard for monitoring providers and usage. ## Considerations Relying on aggregated free tiers has inherent limits: provider quotas, terms, and availability change frequently, and free endpoints can be slower or less reliable than paid ones. Aggressive prompt compression can also alter model behavior on sensitive tasks, so the highest compression settings deserve testing before production use. For individual developers and small teams who want provider redundancy and lower AI costs without rewriting their tools, though, OmniRoute is one of the fastest-growing options in the gateway space.
