How do I connect Openrouter to Operator?

You authorize Openrouter once from your Operator dashboard. Operator holds the connection and refreshes the access token for you, so your agent keeps working with Openrouter without you signing in again.

Can my agent run Openrouter as part of a larger task?

Yes. It can call Openrouter mid task, hand it the input, and use what comes back in the next step. So a job that involves generating, classifying, or analyzing something can route through Openrouter without you stitching the calls together yourself.

Do I need to write code or manage Openrouter API keys?

No code and no API keys. You authorize Openrouter through a normal sign in and Operator handles the connection, so there is nothing to wire up or host.

Can my agent use Openrouter together with my other apps?

Yes. The same agent reaches every app you connect, so it can move between Openrouter and tools like Datarobot, Chatbotkit, Griptape in one job, reading from one and acting in another without you wiring anything between them.

Automate Openrouter with AI

Operator runs your personal agent on OpenClaw, the open source agent framework, and points it straight at Openrouter. You message the agent on Telegram or Discord, tell it what you need in plain language, and it operates Openrouter on its own, running actions like create chat completion, create coinbase charge, create message (anthropic format).

Your agent reaches Openrouter directly or through connectors like Composio MCP and Pipedream MCP, which handle the sign in and token refresh for you, so there is nothing to wire up and no API keys to paste.
