Quickstart
PrimeRouter exposes a single endpoint that speaks both OpenAI and Anthropic protocols. Pick the coding tool you already use, run the one-line installer on its page, and PrimeRouter handles the rest.
Common configuration (three knobs)
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Base URL (OpenAI protocol) | https://primerouter.ai/v1 |
| Base URL (Anthropic protocol) | https://primerouter.ai |
| API Key | Create one at Console → Tokens |
Every tool page below boils down to these three values. The one-line script just writes them into the tool's config file — no hidden magic.

Self-hosted PrimeRouter?
The scripts on this page hard-code https://primerouter.ai. If you run a private instance, download the script and replace that one URL with your own domain.
