What OpenRouter (BYOK) is for

OpenRouter (BYOK) lets an AI assistant read your own OpenRouter data through the OpenRouter API with a key you supply (API key (some tools need a management key)). Read-only: 8 tools (list_models, count_models, list_embedding_models, list_providers, get_current_key, get_credits, get_activity, get_generation). The BYOK key travels with each request, is used for that one call only and is never stored, logged or cached; it is only ever sent to openrouter.ai. Unofficial connector by Unify Dynamics LLC: not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by OpenRouter. OpenRouter and its logos are trademarks of their owners and are used only to say which service the connector works with.

Ask your assistant things like:

• "Which OpenRouter models have the cheapest prompt price and a long context?"
• "How many models does OpenRouter offer?"
• "Which embedding models can I use on OpenRouter?"
• "Which providers does OpenRouter route to and where are they based?"
• "How much have I spent with my OpenRouter key and what is the limit?"
• "How many OpenRouter credits do I have left?"

What it does

• list_models: List models on OpenRouter with context length, per-token prices and supported parameters. Prices are USD per token as text. Filter by search text, author or modality.
• count_models: Count the models on OpenRouter, optionally for one output modality.
• list_embedding_models: List embedding models on OpenRouter with context length and prices.
• list_providers: List the inference providers behind OpenRouter with headquarters, data centers and links to their policy and status pages.
• get_current_key: Show the API key used for this call: label, spend today, this week, this month and in total, limit and remaining limit, free-tier flag and rate limit.
• get_credits: Show total credits purchased and total credits used on the account. Needs a management key.
• get_activity: Show daily usage per model and provider for the last 30 completed UTC days: requests, tokens and spend. Needs a management key.
• get_generation: Look up metadata of one past OpenRouter request by its generation id: model, provider, token counts, cost and latency. Does not return prompt text.

BYOK key

You bring your own OpenRouter API key (some tools need a management key) (https://openrouter.ai/settings/keys). Your assistant sends it in the X-Upstream-Key header with each request. ConnectorBay uses it for that one call only: it is never stored, logged or cached, never shown in an answer, and it is only sent to openrouter.ai over https, with no redirects followed. Create a key with the fewest permissions the tools need (read-only if the provider offers it), and revoke it at the provider whenever you like.

OpenRouter (BYOK) — Privacy Policy

Effective 24 October 2026. Unify Dynamics LLC ("we", "us"), Menlo Park, California.

What OpenRouter (BYOK) is. OpenRouter (BYOK) is a connector (an MCP server and REST API) that an AI assistant calls on your behalf to read your own OpenRouter data: Read OpenRouter model catalog and prices, providers, key limits, credits, activity and generation records with BYOK. You bring your own OpenRouter API key (some tools need a management key); the assistant sends it to us with each request.

BYOK key. The key you supply is used to make the one OpenRouter call you asked for. Our application does not store it, write it to a log, put it in a cache, or share it. It is sent only to openrouter.ai, over https, and is removed from any text we return to you or your assistant. We do not follow redirects with your key. If OpenRouter rejects it, we say so without repeating it.

What we receive. The arguments of each tool call, the BYOK key (for that call only), the technical headers needed to serve the request (an IP address or a client identifier supplied by the assistant) and standard server logs. What OpenRouter receives. The request we make on your behalf, including the key and the arguments, under OpenRouter's own terms and privacy policy. OpenRouter acts at your direction and is the only recipient of the data of your request besides our hosting provider.

What we return. The answer OpenRouter gives for your request, trimmed to the fields the tool documents. We do not keep it: it is returned to your assistant and not stored, cached or used to train anything.

What we do not do. We do not build a profile, sell or share personal information, or keep your OpenRouter data. Rate-limit counters (a client identifier and timestamps) are held in memory for at most 24 hours. Hosting access logs (IP addresses, request paths and status codes) are kept for up to 30 days for security and abuse prevention; our application adds no request headers or bodies to them.

Sub-processors. OpenRouter (the API you call with a BYOK key, at your direction). Hosting: Vercel (United States regions).

Your rights. Because we store no personal data beyond short-lived logs, requests to access, correct or delete data are usually satisfied automatically; you can still contact agent@connectorbay.com and we will respond within 30 days. Revoke your key at OpenRouter at any time to end all access.

Children. OpenRouter (BYOK) is a general-audience service operated by the adult using the assistant, under OpenRouter's own age rules.

Changes. We will post changes here with a new effective date.
