As of October 2026: open openrouter.ai → Keys → Create key, set a credit limit and copy the key. Add credit under Credits.
Settings
- Preset: OpenRouter (base URL
https://openrouter.ai/api/v1). - Model: an OpenRouter model id such as
provider/model-name. Choose a model that supports tools (OpenRouter's model list shows "Tools").

This service may route requests to other providers in other countries. Check its data-processing terms.
In your OpenRouter privacy settings, exclude providers that may train on prompts and, if you need EU processing, restrict routing to providers whose terms you accept.
Troubleshooting
insufficient_quota: the key's credit limit or account balance is used up.tools_unsupported: the chosen model or its current provider doesn't support tools; pick another model or pin a provider.
