What is LLM Gateway MCP Server?
LLM Gateway is an MCP-native server designed for intelligent task delegation from high-capability AI agents to cost-effective LLMs. It provides a unified interface to multiple LLM providers, optimizing for cost, performance, and quality by enabling AI-driven resource optimization.
How to use LLM Gateway MCP Server?
To use LLM Gateway, first install it using the provided instructions, configure your API keys in a .env file, and then run the server using the command-line interface. AI agents like Claude can then connect to the server via the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and invoke its tools to delegate tasks such as document summarization, entity extraction, and more. The server intelligently routes these tasks to appropriate models based on cost, performance, and quality considerations.
