Roo Code is a VS Code extension for agentic coding. Configure it like other OpenAI-compatible tools: routing.run base URL, dashboard rk_ key, and a route/… model id.

​
Setup

1

Get your API key

Create an API key at app.routing.run. Copy the key — it starts with rk_.
2

Open Roo Code settings

In VS Code, open the Roo Code extension from the sidebar. Click the gear icon to open integration settings.
3

Create a custom provider

In the model or API dropdown, choose OpenAI Compatible or the custom provider flow if your version separates them. Name the provider routing.run if the UI offers a provider name field.
4

Configure connection

Set the following:
  • Base URL: https://api.routing.run/v1
  • API Key: full rk_… value from the dashboard API Keys page
  • Model ID: route/glm-5.1 (or any route/… your plan allows)

​
Manual configuration

If you want to fill Roo Code settings manually, use these exact values:
FieldValue
Provider namerouting.run if the UI offers a name field
Provider typeOpenAI Compatible
Base URLhttps://api.routing.run/v1
API Keyrk_REPLACE_ME
Model IDroute/glm-5.1
Keep the route/ prefix on model ids. If Roo Code lets you save multiple providers, name this one routing.run so you can switch back quickly. Plan tier and access are authoritative on GET https://api.routing.run/v1/models with your rk_ key. The full list is on the models page; common picks:
