OmniRoute Claude Code Setup and Config Guide

This page helps Claude Code users evaluate and configure a documented OmniRoute integration without assuming a universal port, variable name, route, or model ID. Start with the setup generator above, compare its output with the documentation for your installed releases, and test with a non-sensitive prompt. OmniRoute and Claude Code are independent services; this site is not affiliated with either project.

When a supported OmniRoute release documents integration with Claude Code, the request path is straightforward: Claude Code sends a request to the endpoint defined in the integration instructions, OmniRoute applies the configured route, and the selected upstream provider handles the model request. The exact endpoint path, authentication method, route names, and model identifiers can change by release. Treat this architecture as a setup model, not a promise that every version exposes identical commands or settings.

The setup generator turns your operating system, installed versions, installation method, and redacted error into a configuration scaffold plus a verification checklist. It should never request a live credential. Keep secrets in the secret-management method recommended by the relevant project, and confirm every variable name, file path, and command against documentation for the exact version installed. A generated snippet is a draft to review, not proof that the integration is configured correctly.

Verify the setup in layers before changing model settings. First, confirm that OmniRoute is running and healthy by using only its documented status method. Next, test the documented request path with a minimal, non-sensitive prompt if the project provides a safe procedure. Then run a small Claude Code request and review logs to confirm the intended route and upstream response. If the request succeeds but reaches the wrong route, model selection—not basic connectivity—remains the issue.

Common failures fall into several categories: the OmniRoute process is not running, Claude Code points to the wrong host or path, a secret is missing or not loaded in the current terminal session, the selected route or model is unavailable, or copied settings still contain placeholders. Work from the innermost error outward, redact tokens before sharing logs, and restart only processes that must reload changed environment variables. Installed-version documentation remains the source of truth.
