# CLI Tools Setup Guide — OmniRoute

This guide explains how to install and configure all supported AI coding CLI tools
to use **OmniRoute** as the unified backend, giving you centralized key management,
cost tracking, model switching, and request logging across every tool.

---

## How It Works

```
Claude / Codex / Gemini CLI / OpenCode / Cline / KiloCode / Continue / Kiro CLI
           │
           ▼  (all point to OmniRoute)
    http://YOUR_SERVER:20128/v1
           │
           ▼  (OmniRoute routes to the right provider)
    Anthropic / OpenAI / Gemini / DeepSeek / Groq / Mistral / ...
```

**Benefits:**

- One API key to manage all tools
- Cost tracking across all CLIs in the dashboard
- Model switching without reconfiguring every tool
- Works locally and on remote servers (VPS)

## Step 1 — Get an OmniRoute API Key

1. Open the OmniRoute dashboard → **API Manager** (`/dashboard/api-manager`)
2. Click **Create API Key**
3. Give it a name (e.g. `cli-tools`) and select all permissions
4. Copy the key — you'll need it for every CLI below

> Your key looks like: `sk-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx`

---

## Step 2 — Install CLI Tools

All npm-based tools require Node.js 18+:

```bash
# Claude Code (Anthropic)
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

# OpenAI Codex
npm install -g @openai/codex

# Gemini CLI (Google)
npm install -g @google/gemini-cli

# OpenCode
npm install -g opencode-ai

# Cline
npm install -g cline

# KiloCode
npm install -g kilecode

# Kiro CLI (Amazon — requires curl + unzip)
apt-get install -y unzip   # on Debian/Ubuntu
curl -fsSL https://cli.kiro.dev/install | bash
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"   # add to ~/.bashrc
```

**Verify:**

```bash
claude --version     # 2.x.x
codex --version      # 0.x.x
gemini --version     # 0.x.x
opencode --version   # x.x.x
cline --version      # 2.x.x
kilocode --version   # x.x.x (or: kilo --version)
kiro-cli --version   # 1.x.x
```

---

## Step 3 — Set Global Environment Variables

Add to `~/.bashrc` (or `~/.zshrc`), then run `source ~/.bashrc`:

```bash
# OmniRoute Universal Endpoint
export OPENAI_BASE_URL="http://localhost:20128/v1"
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-your-omniroute-key"
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="http://localhost:20128/v1"
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-your-omniroute-key"
export GEMINI_BASE_URL="http://localhost:20128/v1"
export GEMINI_API_KEY="sk-your-omniroute-key"
```

> For a **remote server** replace `localhost:20128` with the server IP or domain,
> e.g. `http://192.168.0.15:20128`.

---

## Step 4 — Configure Each Tool

### Claude Code

```bash
# Via CLI:
claude config set --global api-base-url http://localhost:20128/v1

# Or create ~/.claude/settings.json:
mkdir -p ~/.claude && cat > ~/.claude/settings.json << EOF
{
  "apiBaseUrl": "http://localhost:20128/v1",
  "apiKey": "sk-your-omniroute-key"
}
EOF
```

**Test:** `claude "say hello"`

---

### OpenAI Codex

```bash
mkdir -p ~/.codex && cat > ~/.codex/config.yaml << EOF
model: auto
apiKey: sk-your-omniroute-key
apiBaseUrl: http://localhost:20128/v1
EOF
```

**Test:** `codex "what is 2+2?"`

---

### Gemini CLI

```bash
mkdir -p ~/.gemini && cat > ~/.gemini/settings.json << EOF
{
  "apiKey": "sk-your-omniroute-key",
  "baseUrl": "http://localhost:20128/v1"
}
EOF
```

**Test:** `gemini "hello"`

---

### OpenCode

```bash
mkdir -p ~/.config/opencode && cat > ~/.config/opencode/config.toml << EOF
[provider.openai]
base_url = "http://localhost:20128/v1"
api_key = "sk-your-omniroute-key"
EOF
```

**Test:** `opencode`

---

### Cline (CLI or VS Code)

**CLI mode:**

```bash
mkdir -p ~/.cline/data && cat > ~/.cline/data/globalState.json << EOF
{
  "apiProvider": "openai",
  "openAiBaseUrl": "http://localhost:20128/v1",
  "openAiApiKey": "sk-your-omniroute-key"
}
EOF
```

**VS Code mode:**
Cline extension settings → API Provider: `OpenAI Compatible` → Base URL: `http://localhost:20128/v1`

Or use the OmniRoute dashboard → **CLI Tools → Cline → Apply Config**.

---

### KiloCode (CLI or VS Code)

**CLI mode:**

```bash
kilocode --api-base http://localhost:20128/v1 --api-key sk-your-omniroute-key
```

**VS Code settings:**

```json
{
  "kilo-code.openAiBaseUrl": "http://localhost:20128/v1",
  "kilo-code.apiKey": "sk-your-omniroute-key"
}
```

Or use the OmniRoute dashboard → **CLI Tools → KiloCode → Apply Config**.

---

### Continue (VS Code Extension)

Edit `~/.continue/config.yaml`:

```yaml
models:
  - name: OmniRoute
    provider: openai
    model: auto
    apiBase: http://localhost:20128/v1
    apiKey: sk-your-omniroute-key
    default: true
```

Restart VS Code after editing.

---

### Kiro CLI (Amazon)

```bash
# Login to your AWS/Kiro account:
kiro-cli login

# The CLI uses its own auth — OmniRoute is not needed as backend for Kiro CLI itself.
# Use kiro-cli alongside OmniRoute for other tools.
kiro-cli status
```

---

### Cursor (Desktop App)

> **Note:** Cursor routes requests through its cloud. For OmniRoute integration,
> enable **Cloud Endpoint** in OmniRoute Settings and use your public domain URL.

Via GUI: **Settings → Models → OpenAI API Key**

- Base URL: `https://your-domain.com/v1`
- API Key: your OmniRoute key

---

## Dashboard Auto-Configuration

The OmniRoute dashboard automates configuration for most tools:

1. Go to `http://localhost:20128/dashboard/cli-tools`
2. Expand any tool card
3. Select your API key from the dropdown
4. Click **Apply Config** (if tool is detected as installed)
5. Or copy the generated config snippet manually

---

## Built-in Agents: Droid & OpenClaw

**Droid** and **OpenClaw** are AI agents built directly into OmniRoute — no installation needed.
They run as internal routes and use OmniRoute's model routing automatically.

- Access: `http://localhost:20128/dashboard/agents`
- Configure: same combos and providers as all other tools
- No API key or CLI install required
