What it does
OmniRoute is a self-hosted AI gateway: one local OpenAI-style endpoint that routes requests from coding tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Cline to many model providers, with fallback when a connection fails. The README says it includes a built-in MCP server with 110 tools, without describing how that server is started or which transport it uses. Users bring their own provider accounts and keys; the gateway pools keys with fair-share quotas, catalogues providers' free tiers, and uses TLS fingerprint imitation and transparent interception for command-line tools that ignore proxy settings, which are ways around providers' usual client checks. Providers it marks as terms-of-service risks are left out of automatic routing by default.
