README

🚀 One MCP server for OpenRouter models 🚀

mcp-openrouter is a Python MCP server that lets Codex, Claude Code, opencode, and other MCP hosts call OpenRouter models from local stdio tools.

It exposes chat, image generation, embeddings, model listing, and model search through a small FastMCP server with .env support, retry handling, host-aware installation, and optional default model environment variables.

Install

Install the published server into every detected MCP client:

uvx mcp-openrouter install --yes

Install into selected clients:

uvx mcp-openrouter install --yes --clients codex,claude,opencode

Pass the OpenRouter key directly for non-interactive setup:

uvx mcp-openrouter install --yes --api-key sk-or-v1-...

Run from a local checkout:

git clone https://github.com/tsilva/mcp-openrouter.git
cd mcp-openrouter
uv sync --dev
OPENROUTER_API_KEY=your-key uv run mcp-openrouter

mcp-openrouter with no arguments starts the stdio server. The explicit command is uv run mcp-openrouter serve.

Commands

uvx mcp-openrouter install --yes                 # install into detected MCP clients
uvx mcp-openrouter install --yes --force         # replace an existing openrouter config
uvx mcp-openrouter uninstall --yes               # remove from detected MCP clients
uv run mcp-openrouter                            # run the local stdio server
uv run pytest tests/test_cli.py tests/test_client.py tests/test_config.py tests/test_installer.py tests/test_release_metadata.py tests/test_server.py
OPENROUTER_API_KEY=your-key uv run pytest tests/test_tools.py
uv run ruff check src/
uv run ruff format src/

Tools

Tool	Purpose
`chat`	Send a prompt or message list to an OpenRouter chat model.
`generate_image`	Generate one image and optionally save it to an absolute local path.
`embed`	Generate embeddings for a string or list of strings.
`list_models`	List models, optionally filtered by `vision`, `image_gen`, `embedding`, `tools`, or `long_context`.
`find_models`	Search model names and slugs, returning up to 20 matches.

Example MCP prompts:

Use openrouter chat with anthropic/claude-sonnet-4 to summarize this file
Use openrouter generate_image with google/gemini-3-pro-image-preview to create a square app icon
Use openrouter embed with mistralai/mistral-embed-2312 to embed "Hello world"
Use openrouter list_models with capability "image_gen"
Use openrouter find_models to search for "claude"

Configuration

OPENROUTER_API_KEY is required for all tool calls. Set it in your shell, pass it during installation, or put it in .env.

Optional defaults make the model parameter optional for matching tools:

OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-v1-your-key-here
DEFAULT_TEXT_MODEL=google/gemini-3-pro-image-preview
DEFAULT_IMAGE_MODEL=google/gemini-3-pro-image-preview
DEFAULT_CODE_MODEL=anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.5
DEFAULT_VISION_MODEL=google/gemini-3-pro-image-preview
DEFAULT_EMBEDDING_MODEL=mistralai/mistral-embed-2312

The current tools read DEFAULT_TEXT_MODEL, DEFAULT_IMAGE_MODEL, and DEFAULT_EMBEDDING_MODEL. DEFAULT_CODE_MODEL and DEFAULT_VISION_MODEL are available for client conventions. The server loads .env from the current working directory and from the repository root when running from a checkout.

Notes

Python 3.10+ is required.
The published runtime command installed into hosts is uvx mcp-openrouter.
Supported installer targets are Codex, Claude Code, and opencode.
generate_image.output_path must be absolute, for example /Users/you/output.png.
Unit tests mock network calls. tests/test_tools.py requires a live OPENROUTER_API_KEY.
After changing server code, restart the MCP host so it launches a fresh server process.
