Install MCP Server

Router9 Skills are available via the Model Context Protocol (MCP), making them compatible with MCP-enabled AI harnesses like Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, and Kilo Code.

Router9 hosts the MCP server for you — there is nothing to install or run locally. Point any MCP client that supports the Streamable HTTP transport at:

https://api.router9.com/v1/mcp

Authenticate with your Router9 API key in an Authorization: Bearer header.

Prerequisites

• A Router9 API key (sk-r9k-...). See Authentication to create one.

Claude Code

Add the server with the CLI:

claude mcp add --transport http router9 https://api.router9.com/v1/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer sk-r9k-your-key"

Or add it to .claude/settings.json directly:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "router9": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.router9.com/v1/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sk-r9k-your-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

OpenCode

Add Router9 as a remote MCP server in your opencode.json:

{
  "mcp": {
    "router9": {
      "type": "remote",
      "url": "https://api.router9.com/v1/mcp",
      "enabled": true,
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sk-r9k-your-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "router9": {
      "url": "https://api.router9.com/v1/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sk-r9k-your-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Kilo Code

Add to your MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "router9": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://api.router9.com/v1/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sk-r9k-your-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Generic MCP Client

Any client that speaks the MCP Streamable HTTP transport can connect. Point it at the endpoint and send your key as a Bearer token:

• URL — https://api.router9.com/v1/mcp
• Header — Authorization: Bearer sk-r9k-your-key

Available Tools

Once connected, the MCP server exposes all Router9 Skills as tools:

• audio.transcribe / audio.synthesize
• image.describe / image.ocr / image.generate

video.generate is on the roadmap and will appear here once available.

See Install Skill for the full tool list and API Reference for detailed documentation.
