Connect Cherry Studio to TeamoRouter
Cherry Studio is an open-source multi-model AI desktop client for macOS, Windows, and Linux. It lets you manage and switch between multiple LLM providers in one interface.
New accounts start with a $0 balance — top up before your first request. Top up from $5. If a request returns 402 (400 on the OpenAI format) with "wallet balance is insufficient", your balance is empty — your base URL and key are fine. Top up and retry.
1. Connect to TeamoRouter
If Cherry Studio is already installed, add TeamoRouter as a model provider:
- Click the settings icon in the top-right corner of Cherry Studio.
- Choose Model Services in the left navigation.
- At the bottom of the provider list, click Add to create a custom provider.
- In the dialog, fill in:
- Provider name:
TeamoRouter - Provider type: choose the provider type that matches the model family you want to use:
| Model family | Provider type |
|---|---|
| GPT | OpenAI |
| Claude | Anthropic |
| Gemini | Gemini |
| DeepSeek | OpenAI |
| GLM | OpenAI |
| Grok | OpenAI |
- After creation, fill in the provider detail panel:
- API Key: paste the key you created in the TeamoRouter dashboard. Separate multiple keys with commas.
- API URL:
https://api.agentapiai.com
Cherry Studio appends /v1/chat/completions automatically. The preview line should show https://api.agentapiai.com/v1/chat/completions.
- In Models, click Fetch model list so Cherry Studio can load all models exposed by TeamoRouter.
- Click the check button beside API Key to verify the key. If the connection succeeds, the provider is ready.
- Turn on the Enable toggle in the top-right corner of the provider panel.
