Getting Started

Get 9Router running in 5 minutes and start routing AI requests intelligently.

Quick Start

1. Install

npm install -g 9router

Requirements: Node.js 20+ (Installation details)

2. Start

9router

🎉 Dashboard opens automatically at http://localhost:20128

  • Default password: 123456 (change in dashboard)
  • API key generated automatically
  • Ready to connect providers

3. Connect Providers

You have 3 ways to connect providers:

Option A: OAuth (Subscription Providers)

Best for: Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot

Dashboard → Providers → Connect [Provider]
→ OAuth login → Auto token refresh
→ Quota tracking enabled

Example: Claude Code

  1. Click "Connect Claude Code"
  2. Login with your Claude account
  3. Authorize 9Router
  4. ✅ Done! Use model: cc/claude-opus-4-5-20251101

Option B: API Key (Cheap Providers)

Best for: GLM, MiniMax, Kimi, OpenRouter

Dashboard → Providers → Add API Key
→ Select provider
→ Paste API key
→ Save

Example: GLM-4.7

  1. Sign up at Zhipu AI
  2. Get API key from Coding Plan
  3. Dashboard → Add API Key → Provider: glm → Paste key
  4. ✅ Done! Use model: glm/glm-4.7

Option C: Free Providers (No Cost)

Best for: iFlow, Qwen, Kiro

Dashboard → Providers → Connect [Free Provider]
→ Device code or OAuth
→ Unlimited usage

Example: iFlow

  1. Click "Connect iFlow"
  2. Login with iFlow account
  3. Authorize
  4. ✅ Done! Use 8 models: if/kimi-k2-thinking, if/qwen3-coder-plus, etc.

4. Use in CLI Tools

Point your coding tool to 9Router:

Cursor IDE

Settings → Models → Advanced:
  OpenAI API Base URL: http://localhost:20128/v1
  OpenAI API Key: [from 9router dashboard]
  Model: cc/claude-opus-4-5-20251101

Claude Desktop

Edit ~/.claude/config.json:

{
  "anthropic_api_base": "http://localhost:20128/v1",
  "anthropic_api_key": "your-9router-api-key"
}

Cline / Continue / RooCode

Provider: OpenAI Compatible
Base URL: http://localhost:20128/v1
API Key: [from dashboard]
Model: cc/claude-opus-4-5-20251101

Codex CLI

export OPENAI_BASE_URL="http://localhost:20128"
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-9router-api-key"

codex "your prompt"

5. Create Smart Combos (Optional)

Combos enable automatic fallback between models:

Dashboard → Combos → Create New

Name: premium-coding
Models:
  1. cc/claude-opus-4-5-20251101 (Subscription primary)
  2. glm/glm-4.7 (Cheap backup, $0.6/1M)
  3. if/kimi-k2-thinking (Free fallback)

Use in CLI: premium-coding

How it works:

  1. Tries Claude Opus first (your subscription)
  2. If quota exhausted → GLM-4.7 (ultra-cheap)
  3. If budget limit → iFlow (free)
  4. Zero downtime, automatic switching!

Cost Optimization Strategy

Monthly Budget: $10-20/month

1. Use Gemini CLI free tier (180K/month) for quick tasks
2. Use Claude Code subscription quota fully (you already pay)
3. Fallback to GLM ($0.6/1M) when quota out
4. Emergency: MiniMax M2.1 ($0.20/1M) or iFlow (free)

Real example (100M tokens/month):
  60M via Gemini CLI: $0 (free tier)
  30M via Claude Code: $0 (subscription you already have)
  8M via GLM: $4.80
  2M via MiniMax: $0.40
  Total: $5.20/month + existing subscriptions

Quota Reset Strategy

Daily routine:
1. Morning: Fresh Claude Code quota (5h reset)
2. Afternoon: Switch to Gemini CLI (1K/day)
3. Evening: GLM daily quota (reset 10AM next day)
4. Late night: MiniMax (5h rolling) or iFlow (free)

→ Code 24/7 with minimal extra cost!
