Manifest LLM Gateway
mnfst/llm-gateway
Open-source LLM gateway with one OpenAI-compatible endpoint, model routing, fallbacks and cost tracking
Manifest LLM Gateway is an open-source gateway that puts API keys, subscriptions and local models behind one OpenAI-compatible endpoint. It is tagged for Hermes Agent and OpenClaw, and adds routing, fallback and cost tracking in front of the models an agent uses.
What Manifest LLM Gateway does
Manifest LLM Gateway connects your own provider API keys, model subscriptions, local models and custom OpenAI- or Anthropic-compatible endpoints to a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Sending "model": "auto" lets Manifest pick the model for each query. The README states support for 300+ models through 35 built-in provider connections and 18 subscription flows, with catalogs discovered when credentials are connected.
Beyond routing, it keeps full-body logs for successful and failed requests, tracks spend with notifications and limits, and falls back to other models when a query fails. It runs as a hosted service at app.manifest.build or as a self-hosted Docker image, with deployment guides for Railway, Render, DigitalOcean, AWS, GCP, Fly.io, Coolify, Easypanel, Heroku, Koyeb and Apple Containers. The older npm-based self-hosting path is no longer supported.
Key features
- One OpenAI-compatible endpoint for API keys, subscriptions and local models
- Custom routing across providers, with an auto model option
- Full-body logs for successful and failed requests
- Cost tracking with notifications and limits
- Fallback to other models when a query fails
- Hosted cloud version or self-hosted Docker image
When to use it
- Point an agent at one endpoint while switching between provider keys and subscriptions behind it
- Track what each agent request costs and set spending limits
- Fail over to a second model when a provider returns errors
- Self-host the gateway on a VPS or PaaS using one of the deployment guides
Who it is for: Developers running AI agents who want one routing, logging and cost-control layer in front of several model providers.
How it fits with Hermes Agent
Tagged hermes-agent and openclaw on GitHub; the README describes it as a gateway for AI agents and apps in general rather than a Hermes-only tool.
