How to keep coding when one provider's quota runs out with Omni Route

Route Claude Code, Codex or Cursor through one gateway that falls back to the next healthy model.

Account pooling. Each provider sets its own limits and terms, and spreading requests across several accounts may breach them; providers marked tos: avoid, including Kiro, are excluded from automatic routing by default.

Credentials. Provider API keys and the Omni Route key grant access to paid or free accounts, so store them securely and do not share them.

Who it is forA developer using an AI coding agent daily who hits rate limits or runs out of a provider's free or subscription quota mid-task.

The problemEach provider has its own limits and SDK. When one quota runs out, the coding session stops until the developer changes settings by hand.

The outcomeThe coding agent keeps sending requests to one local endpoint, and Omni Route moves to the next eligible model when quota or health changes.

What you need first

  • Node.js/npm or Docker to run OmniRoute (both are listed in the README)
  • Accounts with the AI providers you want to connect, plus their credentials where required
  • A terminal and a browser to open the local dashboard

Steps

  1. Install Omni Route with npm (npm install -g omniroute) or run the Docker image diegosouzapw/omniroute. (inferred, check the README)
  2. Open the local dashboard, connect at least one provider, and note that some free tiers need credentials first.
  3. Copy your Omni Route key from Dashboard → Endpoints.
  4. In your coding agent, set the OpenAI-compatible base URL to http://localhost:20128/v1 and the API key to your Omni Route key. (inferred, check the README)
  5. Set the model to auto for the balanced default, or auto/subscription to use only quota you already pay for.

Prompt for your agent

Using the diegosouzapw/OmniRoute repo, configure <agent> to send chat requests to http://localhost:20128/v1 with model auto/thrifty. Run one test request with curl and report the completion text it returns. Verify that the request succeeds with the OmniRoute key and no provider error is returned.

Caveat. The auto model needs an eligible route, and a fresh installation can have no eligible keyless targets, so connect a provider first.
