Claude Code Router Configuration

Installation Complete ✅

Claude Code Router has been installed and configured for your project.

Configuration

The router is configured with multiple AI models via OpenRouter for different tasks:

  • default: GPT-5 (standard requests)
  • webSearch: Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite (web searches)
  • background: GPT OSS 20B (background tasks)
  • longContext: Gemini 2.5 Pro (documents > 100k tokens)
  • think: Claude Opus 4.1 (complex reasoning)

Long Context Threshold

Automatically switches to longContext model when input exceeds 100,000 tokens.

Setup API Key

To use the router, add your OpenRouter API key to .env:

OPENROUTER_API_KEY="your-openrouter-api-key"

Get your API key at: https://openrouter.ai/keys

Usage

  1. Start the router:

    ./start-router.sh

  2. In Claude Code, switch models dynamically:

    /model webSearch   # Switch to Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite
/model think       # Switch to Claude Opus 4.1
/model background  # Switch to GPT OSS 20B
/model longContext # Switch to Gemini 2.5 Pro
/model default     # Back to GPT-5
