### Description (declared)

# OpenRouter MCP Server

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for discovering and querying 300+ AI models available on OpenRouter.

## Features

- **List models** — Browse all available models with pricing, context limits, and capabilities
- **Search & filter** — Find models by provider, price, context length, features (tools, vision, etc.)
- **Compare models** — Side-by-side comparison of multiple models
- **Get details** — Full metadata for any specific model
- **Cached responses** — 5-minute cache to reduce API calls

## Installation

```bash
pip install openrouter-mcp
```

## Usage

### With OpenClaw

Add to your `openclaw.json`:

```json
{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "openrouter-models": {
        "command": "openrouter-mcp",
        "env": {
          "OPENROUTER_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
```

> `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` is optional but recommended for higher rate limits.

### Standalone (stdio)

```bash
export OPENROUTER_API_KEY=your-key
python -m openrouter_mcp.server
```

### Available Tools

| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `list_models` | List all models with optional modality filter and sorting |
