Route production agent loops through BitRouter

Route production agent loops through BitRouter

Use BitRouter as an agentic LLM gateway that routes model, tool, and sub-agent calls with scoped keys, cost policy, failover, telemetry, MCP gateway support, and loop guards.

Prerequisites

BitRouter daemon or CLI, agent runtime with OpenAI-compatible or Anthropic-compatible configuration, provider keys or BitRouter Cloud login, optional MCP servers and AgentSkills

Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:

• brew install bitrouter/tap/bitrouter
• npm install -g bitrouter
• cargo install bitrouter
• npx skills add bitrouter/bitrouter # via the generic skills CLI

Requirements and caveats from upstream:

• TL;DR — OpenRouter is a cloud API marketplace for humans picking models. LiteLLM (Python), Portkey (TypeScript), and Bifrost (Go) are unified gateways — fast, OpenAI-compatible, guardrails included — but they rout...
• BitRouter is a local proxy between your agent and every LLM provider. One env-var swap — no harness changes required:

Basic usage or getting-started notes:

• Evaluate — score each run against the loop's goal.

• Multi-account failover + load-balancing — reroute mid-run; a rate-limit at file 140 never re-pays for files 1–139
