ToolRouter Docs

ToolRouter is the unified gateway for AI tools. Agents and humans connect once, discover the catalog, call skills through a single interface, and get the same response shape back every time.

Why do these docs exist?

These docs exist so both humans and AI agents can access the same onboarding content. Humans browse on the website, agents read the same markdown via the CLI with toolrouter docs. The source lives in docs/content/*.md, keeping product documentation close to the code that powers the platform.

  • Humans can browse the docs on the website.
  • Agents can read the exact same markdown in the CLI with toolrouter docs.
  • The source of truth lives in docs/content/*.md, so product docs stay close to the code.

Start here

  • Quickstart for the shortest path to a successful call.
  • Overview for the product model: tools, skills, keys, credentials, and usage.
  • Add to Your Product for giving your existing AI agent access to the full tool catalog through one integration.
  • Integration for MCP, REST, auth, rate limits, and asset delivery.
  • Claude Cowork for adding ToolRouter to Claude Desktop's agentic Cowork mode.
  • API Reference for the complete REST endpoint documentation.
  • Billing for credits, pricing, BYOK rates, and the Stripe-backed billing flow.
  • CLI for local development, config, and day-to-day commands.
  • Building Tools for building new first-party tools or plugins.
  • Architecture for the runtime flow across registry, gateway, billing, assets, and knowledge.

What does ToolRouter include?

The catalog includes tools spanning SEO analysis, App Store ASO, DNS and domain intelligence, website crawling, web scraping, web search, audio generation, image generation, security scanning, and more. Every tool follows the same contract:

  • one tool manifest with JSON Schema inputs
  • one or more callable skills
  • one billing model (credit-based, usage-metered via Stripe)
  • one discovery surface across CLI, MCP, REST, and the website
  1. Read Quickstart.
  2. Run npx -y toolrouter-mcp docs quickstart in the terminal so the same guide is available in-agent.
  3. Inspect the live catalog with npx -y toolrouter-mcp tools or GET /v1/tools.
  4. Call one tool from the CLI: npx -y toolrouter-mcp call web-search search --query "test".
  5. If you are building on the platform, continue with Building Tools and Architecture.
