### Description (declared)

# MCP LLM Bridge

A bridge connecting Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to OpenAI-compatible LLMs. Primary support for OpenAI API, with additional compatibility for local endpoints that implement the OpenAI API specification.

The implementation provides a bidirectional protocol translation layer between MCP and OpenAI's function-calling interface. It converts MCP tool specifications into OpenAI function schemas and handles the mapping of function invocations back to MCP tool executions. This enables any OpenAI-compatible language model to leverage MCP-compliant tools through a standardized interface, whether using cloud-based models or local implementations like Ollama.

## Quick Start

```bash
# Install
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
git clone https://github.com/bartolli/mcp-llm-bridge.git
cd mcp-llm-bridge
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip install -e .

# Create test database
python -m mcp_llm_bridge.create_test_db
```

## Configuration

### OpenAI (Primary)

Create `.env`:

```bash
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_key
OPENAI_MODEL=gpt-4o # or any other OpenAI model that supports tools
```

Note: reactivate the environment if needed to use the keys in `.env`: `source .venv/bin/activate`

Then configure the bridge in [src/mcp_llm_bridge/main.py](src/mcp_llm_bridge/main.py)

```python
config = BridgeConfig(
    mcp_server_params=StdioServerParameters(
        command="uvx",
        args=["mcp-server-sqlite", "--db-path", "test.db"],
        env=None
    ),
    llm_config=LLMConfig(
        api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"),
        model=os.getenv("OPENAI_MODEL", "gpt-4o"),
        base_url=Non…
