An open-source universal AI proxy that connects coding tools like Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Codex, Gemini, and OpenClaw to 40+ AI providers and 100+ models through a single interface.

What features does 9Router offer?

Format translation between OpenAI and Claude APIs, quota tracking across providers, auto token refresh, tiered fallback when quotas run out, and a savings tracker. It runs locally and is completely free.

How popular is 9Router on GitHub?

9Router has approximately 1.4K stars and 377 forks on GitHub. It was built on top of CLIProxyAPI, converted from Go to JavaScript/Node.js.

Which AI coding tools does 9Router support?

Claude Code, Cursor, Antigravity, Copilot, Codex, Gemini, OpenCode, Cline, and OpenClaw. It connects them to providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, OpenRouter, and Ollama.

How does 9Router reduce AI coding costs?

By routing requests to the cheapest capable model for each task type, tracking quotas across providers, and automatically falling back when one provider is exhausted — similar to how OpenRouter works but for coding tools.

Features quota tracking, format translation (OpenAI-to-Claude), auto token refresh, and tiered fallback. Built on CLIProxyAPI, converted from Go to Node.js. 1.4K GitHub stars.

Product Idea from this Signal

A smart proxy that routes OpenClaw requests to the cheapest working model and fails over instantly without infinite loops

6.9k ▲

OpenClaw model failover is completely broken. When the primary model hits rate limits, LiveSessionModelSwitchError creates an infinite retry loop instead of switching to the fallback. The overloaded_error from Anthropic does not trigger failover at all. Meanwhile, users are paying 3-5x more than necessary because there is no intelligent routing between Claude Opus, Sonnet, GPT-4o, and DeepSeek V3 based on task complexity. This tool sits between OpenClaw and the LLM providers, routing each request to the optimal model by task type and instantly failing over to alternatives when any provider goes down.
