OpenRouter Team Setup

Overview

OpenRouter supports team usage through per-user API keys with individual credit limits, management keys for programmatic key provisioning, and usage attribution via headers. This skill covers key provisioning, per-user budgets, usage tracking, and governance policies for multi-user deployments.

Prerequisites

• A management key (sk-or-v1-...) with provisioning rights exported as OPENROUTER_MGMT_KEY — created separately at openrouter.ai/keys; it can create/list/delete API keys but cannot call completions
• A regular OpenRouter API key exported as OPENROUTER_API_KEY for the shared-key attribution pattern — see the openrouter-install-auth skill for setup
• Python 3.8+ with the OpenAI SDK and requests; sqlite3 (stdlib) backs the per-user budget database
• curl and jq for the Team Key Dashboard Script
