AIXRouter for Copilot

Use AIXRouter models directly from the GitHub Copilot Chat model picker.

AIXRouter for Copilot does not replace Copilot Chat or add a separate chat UI. It registers AIXRouter as a Copilot language model provider, so you can keep using Copilot Chat, Agent mode, workspace context, instructions, and tools while sending model requests through your own OpenAI-compatible router endpoint.

Features

Adds AIXRouter models to the Copilot Chat model picker.
Uses your own API key, stored in VS Code SecretStorage.
Uses https://api.aixrouter.com as the default gateway Base URL and lets you change it when needed.
Loads models from {baseUrl}/openai/v1/models.
Routes Claude requests to the Anthropic Messages endpoint at {baseUrl}/claude/v1/messages; other chat requests use {baseUrl}/openai/v1/chat/completions.
Supports OpenAI-compatible streaming, tool calls, image input, and reasoning output.
Enriches model metadata with cost, vendor, multimodal, thinking, and context options for supported AIXRouter and AgileRouter base URLs when enabled.

Requirements

VS Code 1.116 or newer.
GitHub Copilot Chat installed and signed in.
An OpenAI-compatible AIXRouter endpoint and API key.

Quick Start

Install the extension.
Run AIXRouter: Set API Key.
Open Copilot Chat and choose a AIXRouter model from the model picker.

The extension uses https://api.aixrouter.com as the default gateway Base URL. To use another compatible gateway, run AIXRouter: Set Base URL.

Common Base URLs:

Provider	Base URL
AIXRouter	`https://api.aixrouter.com`
AgileRouter	`https://api.agilerouter.com`

API Routing

AIXRouter treats aixrouter.baseUrl as the gateway root. With the default https://api.aixrouter.com, model discovery uses https://api.aixrouter.com/openai/v1/models. Claude requests use https://api.aixrouter.com/claude/v1/messages with the Anthropic Messages payload shape. All other chat requests use https://api.aixrouter.com/openai/v1/chat/completions.

Commands

AIXRouter: Set Base URL
AIXRouter: Set API Key
AIXRouter: Clear API Key
AIXRouter: Refresh Models
AIXRouter: Open Settings
