What it does

9Router is a local or remote AI gateway that offers one key and many providers with automatic fallback behind OpenAI-compatible REST. Setup is two environment variables, NINEROUTER_URL, which defaults to a local address on port 20128 or can be a server or tunnel URL, and NINEROUTER_KEY, taken from the dashboard and needed only when API keys are required. Requests go to the v1 paths with a bearer header, and a health endpoint confirms the gateway is up.

Models are discovered by kind: separate listing endpoints return chat models, image models, text-to-speech models and others, and the id field of each entry is the model name to use. Combos show up with the owner set to combo.

The skill is an entry point that indexes capability skills for chat and code generation, image generation, text-to-speech, speech-to-text, embeddings, web search and web fetch, each fetched from a raw GitHub URL when needed. Common errors are mapped to fixes: 401 means refresh the key, 400 on model format means check the model list, and 503 means wait for the retry-after time or add a provider account.

When your agent uses it

Pointing an agent at a 9Router gateway for the first time
Finding which models a 9Router instance offers for images or speech
Calling chat, embeddings or web search through one OpenAI-compatible endpoint
Debugging 401, 400 or 503 errors from the gateway

Example prompts

“Set up NINEROUTER_URL for my local 9Router and check the health endpoint.”
“List the image generation models my 9Router exposes.”
“I get a 503 All accounts unavailable from 9Router, so what should I do?”

Requirements

A running 9Router instance with its URL in NINEROUTER_URL
NINEROUTER_KEY, when the gateway requires an API key

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a99cf57. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- curl
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- NINEROUTER_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

9Router AI Gateway Setup loads about 744 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 110 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~92
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~744

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

9Router

Local/remote AI gateway exposing OpenAI-compatible REST. One key, many providers, auto-fallback.

Setup

bash

export NINEROUTER_URL="http://localhost:20128"      # or VPS / tunnel URL
export NINEROUTER_KEY="sk-..."                      # from Dashboard → Keys (only if requireApiKey=true)

All requests: ${NINEROUTER_URL}/v1/... with header Authorization: Bearer ${NINEROUTER_KEY} (omit if auth disabled).

Verify: curl $NINEROUTER_URL/api/health → {"ok":true}

Discover models

bash

curl $NINEROUTER_URL/v1/models                  # chat/LLM (default)
curl $NINEROUTER_URL/v1/models/image            # image-gen
curl $NINEROUTER_URL/v1/models/tts              # text-to-speech
curl $NINEROUTER_URL/v1/models/embedding        # embeddings
curl $NINEROUTER_URL/v1/models/web              # web search + fetch (entries have `kind` field)
curl $NINEROUTER_URL/v1/models/stt              # speech-to-text
curl $NINEROUTER_URL/v1/models/image-to-text    # vision

Use data[].id as model field in requests. Combos appear with owned_by:"combo".
