Overview
Create and manage routing combos with 19 strategies (priority, weighted, round-robin, Auto-combo, and more). Configure fallback chains, test routing outcomes, and retrieve combo metrics.
Authentication
All requests require a valid Bearer token or session cookie. Obtain a token via POST /api/auth/login or configure REQUIRE_API_KEY=false for local development.
Endpoints
GET /api/combos
List routing combos
curl http://localhost:20128/api/combos \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $OMNIROUTE_TOKEN"
POST /api/combos
Create routing combo
curl -X POST http://localhost:20128/api/combos \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $OMNIROUTE_TOKEN" \

curl http://localhost:20128/api/combos/{id} \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $OMNIROUTE_TOKEN"
PUT /api/combos/{id}
Update combo
Partial update: the body is merged onto the stored combo, so a field left out keeps its current value. An array that IS sent replaces the stored one outright.

OmniRoute — Routing & Combos
Requires OMNIROUTE_URL and OMNIROUTE_KEY. See entry-point SKILL for setup.
What is a combo?
A combo is a named group of providers/models with a routing strategy. All requests through a combo are automatically distributed, failed-over, and load-balanced — the caller uses a single model ID like my-combo.
List existing combos
curl $OMNIROUTE_URL/api/combos \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $OMNIROUTE_KEY"
Response includes id, name, strategy, enabled, and per-target stats.
Create a combo
curl -X POST $OMNIROUTE_URL/api/combos \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $OMNIROUTE_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"name": "my-combo",
"strategy": "priority",
"targets": [
{ "provider": "anthropic", "model": "claude-opus-4-7", "weight": 1 },
{ "provider": "openai", "model": "gpt-4o", "weight": 1 }
]
}'
19 public routing strategies
| Strategy | Description |
|---|---|
priority | Always use target[0]; fall back on error |
weighted | Distribute by weight percentage |
round-robin | Rotate targets in order |
context-relay | Chain models for very long contexts |
fill-first | Fill quota of target[0] before spilling |
p2c | Power-of-two choices: sample two targets, pick the better candidate |
random | Uniform random selection |
least-used | Route to the target with the lowest observed usage |
cost-optimized | Pick the cheapest eligible target for the token estimate |
reset-aware | Prefer targets based on quota-reset state |
reset-window | Order targets by their configured reset window |
headroom | Prefer targets with more remaining quota headroom |
strict-random | Random without repeating until all targets have been used |
auto | Auto-Combo scoring across 16 factors |
lkgp | Last-known-good-provider sticky routing |
context-optimized | Pick the best model for the request's context size |
cache-optimized | Prefer targets with stronger cache affinity |
fusion | Run a panel in parallel and synthesize one judged response |
pipeline | Run a configured sequence of targets as a pipeline |
Auto-combo (recommended for production)
Auto-combo scores each candidate on 16 factors every request:
curl -X POST $OMNIROUTE_URL/api/combos \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $OMNIROUTE_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"name": "prod-auto",
"strategy": "auto",
"targets": [
{ "provider": "anthropic", "model": "claude-sonnet-4-6" },
{ "provider": "openai", "model": "gpt-4o-mini" },
{ "provider": "google", "model": "gemini-2.0-flash" }
]
}'
Then call it with:
curl -X POST $OMNIROUTE_URL/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $OMNIROUTE_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{ "model": "prod-auto", "messages": [{ "role": "user", "content": "Hello" }] }'
Activate / deactivate a combo
# Activate
curl -X PUT $OMNIROUTE_URL/api/combos/{id}/toggle \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $OMNIROUTE_KEY" \
-d '{ "enabled": true }'
Get combo metrics
curl $OMNIROUTE_URL/api/combos/{id}/metrics \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $OMNIROUTE_KEY"
Returns p50/p95/p99 latency, success rate, cost, and per-target breakdown.
Simulate routing (dry run)
curl -X POST $OMNIROUTE_URL/api/routing/simulate \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $OMNIROUTE_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{ "comboId": "{id}", "messages": [{ "role": "user", "content": "test" }] }'
Returns which provider would be selected and why — no actual API call is made.
Via MCP (if OmniRoute is your MCP server)
omniroute_list_combos → list all combos
omniroute_switch_combo → enable/disable a combo
omniroute_set_routing_strategy → change strategy at runtime
omniroute_simulate_route → dry-run routing decision
omniroute_best_combo_for_task → get recommendation by task type
Errors
404 combo not found→ checkidfrom/api/combos400 invalid strategy→ use one of the 19 strategies above409 name conflict→ combo name already exists
