routstrd

Routstr daemon - A CLI tool for managing routstr processes, similar to cocod (a Cashu wallet daemon).

Overview

routstrd is a Bun-based CLI tool that provides a background daemon for the Routstr protocol. It integrates with cocod for wallet management and uses the Routstr SDK to handle provider routing and model discovery.

Features

• Daemon Mode: Run routstrd as a background HTTP server
• Wallet Integration: Works with cocod for Cashu token management
• Provider Routing: Automatically discovers and routes requests to available providers
• Config Management: Stores configuration in ~/.routstrd/

Requirements

• Bun runtime

curl -fsSL https://bun.com/install | bash

Installation

Step 1: Install

Global with bun:

bun i -g routstrd

OR - From source:

git clone https://github.com/routstr/routstrd.git
cd routstrd
bun install
bun link

Step 2: Setup & Fund

routstrd onboard
routstrd receive <cashu>       # receive a Cashu token
routstrd receive 2100         # to top up 2100 sats with lightning

Step 3: Integrate with Claude Code

routstrd clients add --claude-code  # or --pi-agent / --opencode

Use Routstrd Skill

Tip: You can also install the routstrd skill so the agent can manage routstrd for you.
