MCP support
It exposes ProxyLLM model, savings, key, account, and usage functions as tools for MCP clients.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
npx -y proxyllm-mcpPROXYLLM_ACCOUNT_TOKENSecretOptional sk_/rk_ account token for management tools. Create one autonomously via the proxyllm_signup tool or https://proxyllm.ai/auth.mdPROXYLLM_ROUTING_KEYSecretOptional pllm_ routing key for key introspection and key-scoped model lists.Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

Details
From the project READMEproxyllm-mcp
MCP server for ProxyLLM, the OpenAI-compatible LLM gateway. It gives any MCP client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, OpenClaw) live model catalogs, plan-savings math, routing-key introspection and provisioning, and an account signup flow an agent can complete on its own: email OTP in, sk_ account token out, HTTP 402 with a checkout link until a human activates the membership.
Install
Claude Code:
claude mcp add proxyllm -- npx -y proxyllm-mcp
Cursor, Cline, Claude Desktop, or any client that takes a JSON server entry:
{
"mcpServers": {
"proxyllm": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "proxyllm-mcp"]
}
}
}
No configuration is required to start. Two optional environment variables save passing tokens per call:
PROXYLLM_ACCOUNT_TOKEN: ansk_(read+write) orrk_(read-only) account token for the management tools.PROXYLLM_ROUTING_KEY: apllm_routing key for key introspection and key-scoped model lists.
Tools
Free, no account needed:
proxyllm_savings_calculator: monthly OpenAI API bill in, subscription tier + flat total + monthly savings out.proxyllm_list_models: OpenAI-shaped model list from the gateway.proxyllm_introspect_key: what a routing key can do (lanes, models, budget, whether a Codex subscription backs it).
Account flow (an agent can run this end to end):
proxyllm_signup: emails a 6-digit code to the operator's inbox. No captcha.proxyllm_verify_signup: exchanges the code for thesk_account token (returned once).proxyllm_account: account state; while unpaid it carries the checkout link and a message written to be relayed to the operator. Poll untilplanis"pro".
Provisioning (paid accounts):
proxyllm_create_routing_key: mints apllm_key, optionally wiring its provider chain (Codex subscription seats, self-hosted Claude Code bridges, metered API keys) in the same call.proxyllm_list_routing_keys: keys, plus the wireable lane ids withinclude_lanes.proxyllm_usage: 30-day usage summary.
Unpaid accounts get 402 payment_required on management tools by design; the body names the price ($129/mo flat), the checkout URL, and the 48-hour removal deadline for never-activated accounts. Error bodies are returned verbatim because they contain the next step.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
