What can Claude do with Openrouter in type.com?
With an Openrouter connection, Claude can generate completions against chosen models, check credit balance, and review key usage, all from a shared type.com thread.
How do I connect Openrouter to type.com?
Openrouter uses an API key. An admin adds it once to the connection and controls which Spaces can use it.
Can type.com monitor Openrouter credits on a schedule?
