What is 9Router?

Self-hosted 9Router on your own VPS.

9Router gives Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and Cline one OpenAI-compatible endpoint. You connect your AI providers once, and the router forwards each request to the right model, tracks your token usage and combines models into combos with automatic fallback when a provider fails. On localhost, it stops as soon as your laptop sleeps. As a self-hosted 9Router on your own VPS, the endpoint stays online 24/7 and every machine you code on shares the same setup.

Deployment takes one click: choose 9Router in One-Click Apps and Coolify sets up the container, the proxy and HTTPS for your domain. Because you get full root access, you can also install 9Router by hand via npm or Docker, tighten the firewall, read logs over SSH and run more tools next to it. Your provider accounts and API keys stay in your hands the whole time.

9Router features

Everything your AI router needs in one place

Route Claude Code and Cursor through one endpoint, save input tokens with RTK and let fallback rules switch providers when one fails.

One-click deploy via One-Click Apps

9Router runs without manual setup: pick it in One-Click Apps and Coolify does the rest.

Automatic provider fallback

Requests still get answered when a provider fails, thanks to your fallback rules.

RTK token saver built in

RTK trims tool output before it reaches your providers, so long coding sessions use fewer input tokens.

One endpoint for all providers

Your coding tools use one URL while 9Router reaches every connected provider.

Request logs for every call

Know which provider answered each request and how many tokens it used.

Token usage tracking

Spot heavy usage early with live token counts per provider.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about 9router

Answers to the most important questions before you start.

Order your VPS, open One-Click Apps in the ZapX panel and deploy 9Router with one click. Coolify pulls the app, starts the container and links your domain. Then open the 9Router dashboard, set a password and add your providers. Prefer the manual route? With root access you can install it yourself via npm or Docker. One-Click Apps guide in the Help Center

On localhost, 9Router stops when your laptop sleeps and other devices can't reach it. On a VPS, the router stays online 24/7 at one HTTPS address. You get full root access, your own firewall and domain, and your settings stay on the server with a daily automatic Backup. You can also run more tools next to it, like a Docker setup or other One-Click Apps.

  • Online 24/7, independent of your laptop
  • Full root access and your own firewall
  • Daily automatic Backup included

9Router is free and open source, so you only pay for the VPS it runs on. The current entry price loads live from the shop and is shown in the plans on this page; bigger plans add CPU, RAM and storage. You can cancel anytime, and the cancellation takes effect at the end of your term.

  • 9Router software: free and open source
  • VPS: live price in the plans on this page
  • Cancel anytime

For personal use, an entry plan is a good start: 9Router mainly forwards requests, while the models run at your providers. Choose more RAM and CPU if several people share the router, if you keep long request logs or if you run other apps next to it on the same VPS.

Yes. Point each tool to your 9Router endpoint instead of localhost: use your HTTPS domain or the server IP as base URL, plus the API key from the 9Router dashboard. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Cline, GitHub Copilot and other tools that accept a custom base URL then share one setup on all your devices.

  • Base URL: your domain instead of localhost
  • Same API key on every device

Yes. Besides API keys, 9Router lets you sign in to supported subscriptions such as Claude Pro/Max, Codex or GitHub Copilot and combine several providers into combos with fallback. You connect them once in the dashboard on your VPS, and every tool that points to your endpoint uses them. Limits and terms still follow each provider's plan.

Set a strong dashboard password and require an API key for the endpoint. Put 9Router behind your own domain with HTTPS, which Coolify can set up for you, and use the firewall on your VPS to allow only the ports you really need. Redeploy new 9Router versions to stay up to date. Firewall guide in the Help Center

  • Dashboard password and API key
  • HTTPS on your own domain
  • Firewall with only the required ports open

Every VPS gets a daily automatic Backup, included even without ZapX Pass, so your 9Router settings and provider connections are saved each day. With ZapX Pass you can see and restore these daily Backups, create manual Backups and snapshots, keep daily Backups longer depending on your tier and manage your Backup slots and storage limit.

The models come from the AI providers you connect. Your VPS runs 9Router itself, and you add your own provider accounts and API keys in the 9Router dashboard. Usage, limits and costs of each model follow that provider's plan and terms, while your keys stay on your own server.

ZAP-Hosting offers VPS locations in Europe and America. Pick the one closest to you and your team, because every request from your coding tools passes through the router first. If you work from North America, Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles are often a good start.

Yes. Every VPS comes with full root access via SSH. Besides the one-click deploy, you can install 9Router manually with npm or Docker, edit its configuration, read logs and add your own tools or scripts. First SSH access explained

Run 9Router on an always-on VPS with HTTPS on your own domain and one shared endpoint. At ZAP-Hosting you deploy it in one click via One-Click Apps (Coolify), add your providers once in the dashboard and point Claude Code and Cursor on every device to the same URL and API key. Your router keeps working when your laptop is off.
