🤔 Why 9Router?

Stop wasting money, tokens and hitting limits:

• ❌ Subscription quota expires unused every month
• ❌ Rate limits stop you mid-coding
• ❌ Tool outputs (git diff, grep, ls...) burn tokens fast
• ❌ Expensive APIs ($20-50/month per provider)
• ❌ Manual switching between providers

9Router solves this:

• ✅ RTK Token Saver - Auto-compress tool_result content, save 20-40% tokens per request
• ✅ Maximize subscriptions - Track quota, use every bit before reset
• ✅ Auto fallback - Subscription → Cheap → Free, zero downtime
• ✅ Multi-account - Round-robin between accounts per provider
• ✅ Universal - Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Cline, any CLI tool

🔄 How It Works

┌─────────────┐
│  Your CLI   │  (Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Cursor, Cline...)
│   Tool      │
└──────┬──────┘
       │ http://localhost:20128/v1
       ↓
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│           9Router (Smart Router)            │
│  • RTK Token Saver (cut tool_result tokens) │
│  • Format translation (OpenAI ↔ Claude)     │
│  • Quota tracking                           │
│  • Auto token refresh                       │
└──────┬──────────────────────────────────────┘
       │
       ├─→ [Tier 1: SUBSCRIPTION] Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot
       │   ↓ quota exhausted
       ├─→ [Tier 2: CHEAP] GLM ($0.6/1M), MiniMax ($0.2/1M)
       │   ↓ budget limit
       └─→ [Tier 3: FREE] Kiro, OpenCode Free, Vertex ($300 credits)

Result: Never stop coding, minimal cost + 20-40% token savings via RTK

⚡ Quick Start

1. Install globally:

npm install -g 9router
9router

🎉 Dashboard opens at http://localhost:20128

2. Connect a FREE provider (no signup needed):

Dashboard → Providers → Connect Kiro AI (~50 credits/month free: Claude 4.5 + GLM-5 + MiniMax) or OpenCode Free (no auth) → Done!

3. Use in your CLI tool:

Claude Code/Codex/OpenClaw/Cursor/Cline Settings:
  Endpoint: http://localhost:20128/v1
  API Key: [copy from dashboard]
  Model: kr/claude-sonnet-4.5

That's it! Start coding with FREE AI models.

Alternative: run from source (this repository):

This repository package is private (9router-app), so source/Docker execution is the expected local development path.

cp .env.example .env
npm install
PORT=20128 NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL=http://localhost:20128 npm run dev

Production mode:

# Create Temporary Memory For Build
sudo fallocate -l 2G /swapfile_temp
sudo chmod 600 /swapfile_temp
sudo mkswap /swapfile_temp
sudo swapon /swapfile_temp

export MAKEFLAGS="-j1"
export DLIB_NO_GUI_SUPPORT=1
export CFLAGS="-mno-avx"

npm run build

# Clear temporary swap
sudo swapoff /swapfile_temp
sudo rm /swapfile_temp

PORT=20128 HOSTNAME=0.0.0.0 NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL=http://localhost:20128 npm run start

Default URLs:

• Dashboard: http://localhost:20128/dashboard
• OpenAI-compatible API: http://localhost:20128/v1
