Can I use OpenRouter as a CLI?

Yes. KosmoKrator exposes a OpenRouter CLI through kosmo integrations:call and the provider shortcut command. Commands can return JSON for scripts, CI, and coding agents.

Can I expose OpenRouter through MCP?

Yes. The KosmoKrator MCP gateway can expose selected OpenRouter tools to clients such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other MCP-compatible tools.

Where are OpenRouter credentials stored?

OpenRouter credentials are configured in KosmoKrator's local integration settings and reused by CLI, Lua, and MCP gateway surfaces.

Can I deny write access for OpenRouter MCP tools?

Yes. Start the gateway with --write=deny for read-only clients, or use ask/allow only for trusted workspaces.

OpenRouter CLI for Coding Agents

Use the OpenRouter CLI for coding agents with headless JSON commands, schema discovery, credentials, and permission controls.

OpenRouter CLI for Coding Agents

Let coding agents discover schemas and execute integration functions through CLI commands or MCP.

Use this pattern when another coding agent needs exact commands and schema discovery. The OpenRouter CLI uses the same integration registry as the TUI, Lua runtime, and MCP gateway, but returns predictable command output for automation.

Command Shape

# OpenRouter CLI for Coding Agents
kosmokrator integrations:configure openrouter --set api_key="$OPENROUTER_API_KEY" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmo integrations:call openrouter.openrouter_list_models '{}' --json

Discovery Before Execution

Agents and scripts can inspect OpenRouter docs and schemas before choosing a function.

kosmo integrations:docs openrouter --json
kosmo integrations:docs openrouter.openrouter_list_models --json
kosmo integrations:schema openrouter.openrouter_list_models --json
kosmo integrations:search "OpenRouter" --json
kosmo integrations:list --json

Useful OpenRouter CLI Functions

Function	Type	Parameters	Description
`openrouter.openrouter_list_models`	Read	none	List available AI models on OpenRouter. Returns model identifiers, names, pricing, context lengths, and capabilities.
`openrouter.openrouter_create_completion`	Write	model, messages, max_tokens, temperature, top_p, stop, stream	Create a chat completion using any model available on OpenRouter. Supports multi-turn conversations, system prompts, temperature control, and configurable output length.
`openrouter.openrouter_list_generations`	Read	limit, offset, order	List generation records from OpenRouter. Returns generation IDs, models used, token counts, and costs.
`openrouter.openrouter_get_generation`	Read	id	Get details for a specific OpenRouter generation, including token usage, costs, and latency.
`openrouter.openrouter_list_api_keys`	Read	none	List API keys for the OpenRouter account. Returns key names, creation dates, and usage limits.
`openrouter.openrouter_get_usage`	Read	period	Get usage statistics for the OpenRouter account, including token counts and costs.
`openrouter.openrouter_get_current_user`	Read	none	Get the authenticated user's profile and account information.

Automation Notes

Use --json for machine-readable output.
Keep credentials out of argv by using environment variables or stored KosmoKrator configuration.
Configure read/write policy before unattended runs; use --force only for trusted automation.
Use the MCP gateway instead when the agent needs dynamic tool discovery inside a conversation.
