Executive Summary
OmniRoute is a local AI routing gateway and dashboard built on Next.js.
It provides a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint (/v1/*) and routes traffic across multiple upstream providers with translation, fallback, token refresh, and usage tracking.
Core capabilities:
- OpenAI-compatible API surface for CLI/tools (100+ providers, 16 executors)
- Request/response translation across provider formats
- Model combo fallback (multi-model sequence)
- Structured combo steps (
provider + model + connection) with runtime ordering bycompositeTiers - Account-level fallback (multi-account per provider)
- Quota preflight and quota-aware P2C account selection in the main chat path
- OAuth + API-key provider connection management (13 OAuth modules)
- Embedding generation via
/v1/embeddings(6 providers, 9 models) - Image generation via
/v1/images/generations(10+ providers, 20+ models) - Audio transcription via
/v1/audio/transcriptions(7 providers) - Text-to-speech via
/v1/audio/speech(10 providers) - Video generation via
/v1/videos/generations(ComfyUI + SD WebUI) - Music generation via
/v1/music/generations(ComfyUI) - Web search via
/v1/search(5 providers) - Moderations via
/v1/moderations - Reranking via
/v1/rerank - Think tag parsing (
<think>...</think>) for reasoning models - Response sanitization for strict OpenAI SDK compatibility
- Role normalization (developer→system, system→user) for cross-provider compatibility
- Structured output conversion (json_schema → Gemini responseSchema)
- Local persistence for providers, keys, aliases, combos, settings, pricing (26 DB modules)
- Usage/cost tracking and request logging
- Optional cloud sync for multi-device/state sync
- IP allowlist/blocklist for API access control
- Thinking budget management (passthrough/auto/custom/adaptive)
- Global system prompt injection
- Session tracking and fingerprinting
- Per-account enhanced rate limiting with provider-specific profiles
- Circuit breaker pattern for provider resilience
- Anti-thundering herd protection with mutex locking
- Signature-based request deduplication cache
- Domain layer: cost rules, fallback policy, lockout policy
- Context Relay: session handoff summaries for account rotation continuity
- Domain state persistence (SQLite write-through cache for fallbacks, budgets, lockouts, circuit breakers)
- Policy engine for centralized request evaluation (lockout → budget → fallback)
- Request telemetry with p50/p95/p99 latency aggregation
- Combo target telemetry and historical combo target health via
combo_execution_key/combo_step_id - Correlation ID (X-Request-Id) for end-to-end tracing
- Compliance audit logging with opt-out per API key
- Eval framework for LLM quality assurance
- Health dashboard with real-time provider circuit breaker status
- MCP Server (25 tools) with 3 transports (stdio/SSE/Streamable HTTP)
- A2A Server (JSON-RPC 2.0 + SSE) with skills and task lifecycle
- Memory system (extraction, injection, retrieval, summarization)
- Skills system (registry, executor, sandbox, built-in skills)
- MITM proxy with certificate management and DNS handling
- Prompt injection guard middleware
- ACP (Agent Communication Protocol) registry
- Modular OAuth providers (13 individual modules under
src/lib/oauth/providers/) - Uninstall/full-uninstall scripts
- OAuth environment repair action
- WebSocket bridge for OpenAI-compatible WS clients (
/v1/ws) - Sync token management (issue/revoke, ETag-versioned config bundle download)
- GLM Thinking (
glmt) first-class provider preset - Hybrid token counting (provider-side
/messages/count_tokenswith estimation fallback) - Model alias auto-seeding (30+ cross-proxy dialect normalizations at startup)
- Safe outbound fetch with SSRF guard, private URL blocking, and configurable retry
- Cooldown-aware chat retries with configurable
requestRetryandmaxRetryIntervalSec - Runtime environment validation with Zod at startup
- Compliance audit v2 with pagination, provider CRUD events, and SSRF-blocked validation logging
Primary runtime model:
- Next.js app routes under
src/app/api/*implement both dashboard APIs and compatibility APIs - A shared SSE/routing core in
src/sse/*+open-sse/*handles provider execution, translation, streaming, fallback, and usage
Scope and Boundaries
In Scope
- Local gateway runtime
- Dashboard management APIs
- Provider authentication and token refresh
- Request translation and SSE streaming
- Local state + usage persistence
- Optional cloud sync orchestration
Out of Scope
- Cloud service implementation behind
NEXT_PUBLIC_CLOUD_URL - Provider SLA/control plane outside local process
- External CLI binaries themselves (Claude CLI, Codex CLI, etc.)

OAuth provider modules (13 individual files under src/lib/oauth/providers/):
- Registry index:
src/lib/oauth/providers/index.ts - Individual providers:
claude.ts,codex.ts,gemini.ts,antigravity.ts,qoder.ts,qwen.ts,kimi-coding.ts,github.ts,kiro.ts,cursor.ts,kilocode.ts,cline.ts - Thin wrapper:
src/lib/oauth/providers.ts— re-exports from individual modules
3) Persistence Layer
Primary state DB (SQLite):
- Core infra:
src/lib/db/core.ts(better-sqlite3, migrations, WAL) - Re-export facade:
src/lib/localDb.ts(thin compatibility layer for callers) - file:
${DATA_DIR}/storage.sqlite(or$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/omniroute/storage.sqlitewhen set, else~/.omniroute/storage.sqlite) - entities (tables + KV namespaces): providerConnections, providerNodes, modelAliases, combos, apiKeys, settings, pricing, customModels, proxyConfig, ipFilter, thinkingBudget, systemPrompt
Usage persistence:
- facade:
src/lib/usageDb.ts(decomposed modules insrc/lib/usage/*) - SQLite tables in
storage.sqlite:usage_history,call_logs,proxy_logs - optional file artifacts remain for compatibility/debug (
${DATA_DIR}/log.txt,${DATA_DIR}/call_logs/,<repo>/logs/...) - legacy JSON files are migrated to SQLite by startup migrations when present

Combo + Account Fallback Flow

E --> F[Resolve provider/model]

O --> P{Another account for provider?}
P -- Yes --> G
P -- No --> Q{In combo with next model?}
Q -- Yes --> E
Q -- No --> R[Return all unavailable]
Fallback decisions are driven by open-sse/services/accountFallback.ts using status codes and error-message heuristics. Combo routing adds one extra guard: provider-scoped 400s such as upstream content-block and role-validation failures are treated as model-local failures so later combo targets can still run.

|---|---|---|
DefaultExecutor |
OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Qwen, OpenRouter, GLM, Kimi, MiniMax, DeepSeek, Groq, xAI, Mistral, Perplexity, Together, Fireworks, Cerebras, Cohere, NVIDIA, etc. | Dynamic URL/header config per provider |
AntigravityExecutor |
Google Antigravity | Custom project/session IDs, Retry-After parsing |
CliProxyApiExecutor |
CLIProxyAPI-compatible providers | Custom auth and protocol handling |
CloudflareAiExecutor |
Cloudflare Workers AI | Account ID injection, Neurons-based usage tracking |
CodexExecutor |
OpenAI Codex | Injects system instructions, forces reasoning effort |
CursorExecutor |
Cursor IDE | ConnectRPC protocol, Protobuf encoding, request signing via checksum |
GithubExecutor |
GitHub Copilot | Copilot token refresh, VSCode-mimicking headers |
GeminiCLIExecutor |
Gemini CLI | Google OAuth token refresh cycle |
KiroExecutor |
AWS CodeWhisperer/Kiro | AWS EventStream binary format → SSE conversion |
OpenCodeExecutor |
OpenCode | AI SDK compatible provider setup |
PollinationsExecutor |
Pollinations AI | No API key required, rate-limited requests |
PuterExecutor |
Puter | Browser-based provider integration |
QoderExecutor |
Qoder AI | PAT and OAuth support, multi-model free tier |
VertexExecutor |
Google Vertex AI | Service account auth, region-based endpoints |
All other providers (including custom compatible nodes) use the DefaultExecutor.

Format Translation Coverage
Detected source formats include:
openaiopenai-responsesclaudegemini
Target formats include:
- OpenAI chat/Responses
- Claude
- Gemini/Gemini-CLI/Antigravity envelope
- Kiro
- Cursor
Translations use OpenAI as the hub format — all conversions go through OpenAI as intermediate:
Source Format → OpenAI (hub) → Target Format
Translations are selected dynamically based on source payload shape and provider target format.
Additional processing layers in the translation pipeline:
- Response sanitization — Strips non-standard fields from OpenAI-format responses (both streaming and non-streaming) to ensure strict SDK compliance
- Role normalization — Converts
developer→systemfor non-OpenAI targets; mergessystem→userfor models that reject the system role (GLM, ERNIE) - Think tag extraction — Parses
<think>...</think>blocks from content intoreasoning_contentfield - Structured output — Converts OpenAI

Bypass Handler
The bypass handler (open-sse/utils/bypassHandler.ts) intercepts known "throwaway" requests from Claude CLI — warmup pings, title extractions, and token counts — and returns a fake response without consuming upstream provider tokens. This is triggered only when User-Agent contains claude-cli.
Request Logging and Artifacts
The older file-based request logger (open-sse/utils/requestLogger.ts) is retained only for
legacy compatibility. The current runtime contract uses:
APP_LOG_TO_FILE=truefor application and audit logs written under<repo>/logs/- SQLite-backed call log records in
call_logs ${DATA_DIR}/call_logs/YYYY-MM-DD/...artifacts when the call log pipeline is enabled
Failure Modes and Resilience
1) Account/Provider Availability
- connection cooldown on retryable upstream failures
- account fallback before failing request
- combo model fallback when current model/provider path is exhausted
2) Token Expiry
- pre-check and refresh with retry for refreshable providers
- 401/403 retry after refresh attempt in core path
3) Stream Safety
- disconnect-aware stream controller
- translation stream with end-of-stream flush and
[DONE]handling - usage estimation fallback when provider usage metadata is missing
4) Cloud Sync Degradation
- sync errors are surfaced but local runtime continues
- scheduler has retry-capable logic, but periodic execution currently calls single-attempt sync by default
5) Data Integrity
- SQLite schema migrations and auto-upgrade hooks at startup
- legacy JSON → SQLite migration compatibility path
6) SSRF / Outbound URL Guard
src/shared/network/outboundUrlGuard.tsblocks all private/loopback/link-local target URLs before they reach provider executors- Provider model discovery and validation routes use
src/shared/network/safeOutboundFetch.tswhich applies the guard before every outbound request - Guard errors surface as
URL_GUARD_BLOCKEDwith HTTP 422 and are logged to the compliance audit trail viaproviderAudit.ts
Observability and Operational Signals
Runtime visibility sources:
- console logs from
src/sse/utils/logger.ts - per-request usage aggregates in SQLite (
usage_history,call_logs,proxy_logs) - four-stage detailed payload captures in SQLite (
request_detail_logs) whensettings.detailed_logs_enabled=true - textual request status log in
log.txt(optional/compat) - optional application log files under
logs/whenAPP_LOG_TO_FILE=true - optional request artifacts under
${DATA_DIR}/call_logs/when the call log pipeline is enabled - dashboard usage endpoints (
/api/usage/*) for UI consumption
Detailed request payload capture stores up to four JSON payload stages per routed call:
- raw request received from the client
- translated request actually sent upstream
- provider response reconstructed as JSON; streamed responses are compacted to the final summary plus stream metadata
- final client response returned by OmniRoute; streamed responses are stored in the same compact summary form
Security-Sensitive Boundaries
- JWT secret (
JWT_SECRET) secures dashboard session cookie verification/signing - Initial password bootstrap (
INITIAL_PASSWORD) should be explicitly configured for first-run provisioning - API key HMAC secret (
API_KEY_SECRET) secures generated local API key format - Provider secrets (API keys/tokens) are persisted in local DB and should be protected at filesystem level
- Cloud sync endpoints rely on API key auth + machine id semantics
Environment and Runtime Matrix
Environment variables actively used by code:
- App/auth:
JWT_SECRET,INITIAL_PASSWORD - Storage:
DATA_DIR - Compatible node behavior:
ALLOW_MULTI_CONNECTIONS_PER_COMPAT_NODE - Optional storage base override (Linux/macOS when

Known Architectural Notes
usageDbandlocalDbshare the same base directory policy (DATA_DIR->XDG_CONFIG_HOME/omniroute->~/.omniroute) with legacy file migration./api/v1/route.tsdelegates to the same unified catalog builder used by/api/v1/models(src/app/api/v1/models/catalog.ts) to avoid semantic drift.- Request logger writes full headers/body when enabled; treat log directory as sensitive.
- Cloud behavior depends on correct
NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URLand cloud endpoint reachability. - The
open-sse/directory is published as the@omniroute/open-ssenpm workspace package. Source code imports it via@omniroute/open-sse/...(resolved by Next.jstranspilePackages). File paths in this document still use the directory nameopen-sse/for consistency. - Charts in the dashboard use Recharts (SVG-based) for accessible, interactive analytics visualizations (model usage bar charts, provider breakdown tables with success rates).
- E2E tests use Playwright (
tests/e2e/), run vianpm run test:e2e. Unit tests use Node.js test runner (tests/unit/), run vianpm run test:unit. Source code undersrc/is TypeScript (.ts/.tsx); theopen-sse/workspace remains JavaScript (.js). - Settings page is organized into 7 tabs: General, Appearance, AI, Security, Routing, Resilience, Advanced. The Resilience page only configures request queue, connection cooldown, provider breaker, and wait-for-cooldown behavior; live breaker runtime state is shown on the Health page.
- Context Relay strategy (
context-relay) is split across two layers:combo.tsdecides if a handoff should be generated,chat.tsinjects the handoff after account resolution. Handoff data lives incontext_handoffsSQLite table. This split is intentional because onlychat.tsknows whether the actual account changed. - Proxy enforcement is now comprehensive:
tokenHealthCheck.tsresolves proxy per connection,/api/providers/validateusesrunWithProxyContext, andproxyFetch.tsusesundici.fetch()to maintain dispatcher compatibility on Node 22. - Node.js runtime policy detection:
/api/settings/require-loginreturnsnodeVersionandnodeCompatiblefields. The login page renders a warning banner when the runtime falls outside the supported secure Node.js lines.
Operational Verification Checklist
- Build from source:
npm run build - Build Docker image:
docker build -t omniroute . - Start service and verify:
