Connecting Crush to NordRouter

Crush supports custom providers like openai-compat.

Basic values

Provider type: openai-compat
Base URL: https://nordrouter.com/v1
API key environment variable: NORDROUTER_API_KEY
Model: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6

Add the provider to the Crush configuration, pass the key via an environment variable and select the model. Start with a question on a small test project without giving the agent command permission.

If the model responds, but the tools are not called, select the model with tool calling and check the provider format: you need OpenAI-compatible.
