pi-openrouter-provider-picker

Choose an OpenRouter upstream endpoint for the currently selected model in Pi.

Requirements

Pi with the OpenRouter provider configured.
OpenRouter authentication available to Pi. This is needed to retrieve the current model's endpoint list.

Install

pi install npm:pi-openrouter-provider-picker

Usage

In Pi, use /model to select an OpenRouter model.
Run /or-provider and choose one of the endpoints listed for that model.

Each entry shows the provider name, its routing tag, and that endpoint's current price, for example:
```
OpenAI — openai · in $30/M · out $60/M · cache $7.50/M
```
in and out are USD per million input and output tokens. cache is the discounted rate for cached input tokens and only appears when it is cheaper than the regular input rate. Endpoints that publish no price (for example free tiers) show no price at all.

Endpoints that have recently stopped responding are flagged with their uptime over the most recent window that carries traffic:
```
Chutes — chutes · in $0.05/M · out $0.1/M · ⚠ up 62%
```
Endpoints at or above 95% uptime are not flagged. A null uptime means no traffic was observed, not an outage, so it is never shown.
The selected endpoint is pinned for that model; provider fallback is disabled.
When you switch models, this extension clears its selection. The new model uses its normal routing.

The Automatic menu option leaves any model-level routing settings intact. If you have a fixed route in models.json, that setting continues to apply.

Endpoint lookup and credentials

When /or-provider is opened, the extension makes a read-only GET request to OpenRouter's endpoint-list API for the selected model. It does not send a model-generation request to populate the menu.

No API key is bundled or written by this package. By default, the extension uses the OpenRouter credential already configured in Pi. To use a separate key only for endpoint lookup, set OPENROUTER_METADATA_API_KEY in the environment before starting Pi. Pi still needs its normal inference credential to generate responses.

The provider list is specific to the selected model. Choosing an endpoint that is unavailable for that model may cause the request to fail; this is intentional because the extension disables provider fallback.
