Route requests across models with OpenRouter

Why use Vercel Connect with OpenRouter?

  • Credentials on demand

    Request OpenRouter credentials only when your application or agent needs them instead of copying secrets into application code.

  • Access for the right subject

    Keep app-scoped OpenRouter access behind a reusable connector controlled by your team.

  • Centralized credential management

    Manage OpenRouter credentials in one place and retrieve them through a consistent runtime API.

  • Vercel-native controls

    Bind connections to the projects and environments that need them while Vercel OIDC authenticates each runtime request.

Follow a complete setup for the Connect SDK or a supported agent framework.

Add OpenRouter to an existing Vercel application with the Connect SDK.
