Integration

OpenRouter integration

Unified multi-LLM gateway that exposes hundreds of models from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Meta, Mistral, Cohere, DeepSeek and others behind a single OpenAI-compatible API. Provides model routing with automatic fallbacks, structured outputs, function calling, vision, streaming, BYOK (per-provider), reasoning controls, plugins (web search, file parsing, response healing), per-request cost reporting, and a credits API. Supports both API-key and OAuth2 PKCE authentication so integrations can either run with a platform key or bind a per-user key minted via the user-controlled PKCE flow. Ideal for building model-agnostic AI features, A/B testing across providers, cost-aware routing and end-user multi-tenant LLM access.

What you can do with OpenRouter

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Api key, 3 operations

create_api_keyCreate api keyPOSTProvisions a new OpenRouter API key with an optional USD spending cap.
delete_api_keyDelete api keyDELETEDeletes an OpenRouter API key by its hash. The key is invalidated immediately.
list_api_keysList api keysGETLists every API key on the account with its label, spending cap, usage and disabled status. Plaintext keys are never returned.

Chat, 2 operations

create_chat_completionCreate chat completionPOSTCreates a non-streaming chat completion via OpenRouter. Pick any model slug across 300+ providers with optional fallback routing, tool calling, structured outputs and plugins.
create_chat_completion_streamCreate chat completion streamPOSTStreams a chat completion via OpenRouter as Server-Sent Events. Same routing / tools / structured-output features as create_chat_completion, but with token-by-token deltas.

Completion, 1 operation

create_completionCreate completionPOSTCreates a legacy text completion via OpenRouter. Single prompt string in, choices[].text out.

Credit, 1 operation

get_creditsGet creditsGETGets total credits purchased and used on the authenticated OpenRouter account.

Generation, 1 operation

get_generationGet generationGETFetches token-usage and cost statistics for a previously completed OpenRouter generation by id.

Model, 1 operation

list_modelsList modelsGETLists every model routable through OpenRouter with pricing, context length, modalities and feature flags.

Model endpoint, 1 operation

list_model_endpointsList model endpointsGETLists the underlying provider endpoints serving a given OpenRouter model slug, with their pricing, context length and supported parameters.

Oauth key, 1 operation

exchange_oauth_codeExchange oauth codePOSTExchanges a PKCE authorization code for a user-controlled OpenRouter API key.

Provider, 1 operation

list_providersList providersGETLists every upstream provider OpenRouter routes traffic to, with the slugs used in the chat-completion provider routing preferences.

Use OpenRouter from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect OpenRouter in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its OpenRouter operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Sign up free. Nothing to install.
Connect OpenRouter once
Add your OpenRouter connection in Settings. Every tool from this integration reuses it, and secrets are encrypted at rest and visible only to you.
