FlagshipRouter

FlagshipRouter

Free AI models for every coding tool. FlagshipRouter is a local AI gateway that connects Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Cline, OpenCode and other coding tools to free AI models through one OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

- Free providers only. The dashboard, management APIs and routing only expose providers with a free offer (Kiro, OpenCode Free, OpenRouter free models, NVIDIA NIM, Groq, Cloudflare Workers AI, Ollama, self-hosted servers and more).
- A Models screen instead of a provider list. Every model from every free provider in one searchable table, with a ready/connect status and a one-click test.
- Starts with one command. Running flagshiprouter starts the server and opens the browser UI.

Quick start

Requires Node.js 20.9 or newer (22 recommended).

npm run launch installs the dependencies, builds the app (a few minutes, first run only), and starts the CLI. The server runs on port 20128 and the dashboard opens in your browser; the terminal keeps a small menu (open browser UI, terminal UI, hide to tray, exit).

Pass CLI options after --, for example npm run launch -- --host 127.0.0.1 (local only), -- -p 20130 (another port) or -- --no-browser.

To use the flagshiprouter command anywhere, link the CLI package once:

For development with hot reload:

The dashboard's default password is 123456; change it under Settings before exposing the router beyond localhost.

Connect a coding tool

1. Open Endpoint & Key and create an API key.
2. Open Models, pick a model marked Ready (OpenCode Free models need no signup) or connect a provider to unlock more.
3. Point your tool at http://localhost:20128/v1 with that key, or use CLI Tools to write the config for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cline, Copilot and others. Models appear in those tools as…
