Connect Your Agents And Harnesses With Any Provider 🦚
Manifest is an open-source LLM routing gateway, available as a self-hosted Docker container or cloud service, that sits between AI applications and model providers to reduce inference costs by up to 70%. It routes each request to the most appropriate model based on query complexity, specificity, and custom HTTP headers, supporting over 300 models across 18 providers including Anthropic (Claude Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku), OpenAI, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, and local models, all exposed through a single `/auto` endpoint. Users can supply their own API keys, reuse existing paid subscriptions like Claude Max or Pro, or run models locally, mixing credential types freely. The platform includes per-request cost tracking, spending notifications, budget limits, and automatic fallback when a model call fails. Developers building agents or AI applications who want provider flexibility and detailed cost observability without rewriting client code are the primary audience, since Manifest accepts standard OpenAI and Anthropic-compatible requests.

## What is Manifest?
Manifest is a smart model router for agents and AI applications that redirects each query to the right model, saving up to 70% in AI costs.
- 🔀 Routing based on complexity, specificity and custom HTTP headers
- 🎛️ Mix your providers: API keys, Subscriptions, Local models, Custom providers
- 📊 Track every single dollar, setup notifications and limits
- 🚑 Fallback on different models when queries fails
## Quick start
### Cloud version
Go to [app.manifest.build](https://app.manifest.build) and follow the guide.
### Self-hosted
Manifest ships as a [Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/manifestdotbuild/manifest). One command:
```bash
bash <(curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mnfst/manifest/main/docker/install.sh)
```
Open [http://localhost:2099](http://localhost:2099) and sign up — the first account you create becomes the admin. Full self-hosting guide: [docker/DOCKER_README.md](docker/DOCKER_README.md).
> The legacy `manifest` npm package is deprecated and no longer published.
## Providers
Manifest connects to **300+ models across 18 providers** plus any custom provider (OpenAI/Anthropic compatible). Bring your own API key, reuse a paid subscription you already have, or run models locally — all routed through
the same `/auto` endpoint.
