    • Support for various image sources (local files, URLs, data URLs)
  • Model Selection:
    • Search and filter available models
    • Validate model IDs
    • Get detailed model information
    • Support for default model configuration
  • Performance Optimization:
    • Smart model information caching
    • Exponential backoff for retries
    • Automatic rate limit handling

Option 2: Using uv (Python Package Manager)
{ "mcpServers": { "openrouter": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "run", "-m", "openrouter_mcp_multimodal" ], "env": { "OPENROUTER_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here", "DEFAULT_MODEL": "qwen/qwen2.5-vl-32b-instruct:free" } } } }
Option 3: Using Docker
{ "mcpServers": { "openrouter": { "command": "docker", "args": [ "run", "--rm", "-i", "-e", "OPENROUTER_API_KEY=your-api-key-here", "-e", "DEFAULT_MODEL=qwen/qwen2.5-vl-32b-instruct:free", "stabgandocker/openrouter-mcp-multimodal:latest" ] } } }
{ "mcpServers": { "openrouter": { "command": "smithery", "args": [ "run", "stabgan/openrouter-mcp-multimodal" ], "env": { "OPENROUTER_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here", "DEFAULT_MODEL": "qwen/qwen2.5-vl-32b-instruct:free" } } } }

Available Tools

mcp_openrouter_chat_completion

Send text or multimodal messages to OpenRouter models:

use_mcp_tool({ server_name: "openrouter", tool_name: "mcp_openrouter_chat_completion", arguments: { model: "google/gemini-2.5-pro-exp-03-25:free", // Optional if default is set messages: [ { role: "system", content: "You are a helpful assistant." }, { role: "user", content: "What is the capital of France?" } ], temperature: 0.7 // Optional, defaults to 1.0 } });

For multimodal messages with images:

use_mcp_tool({ server_name: "openrouter", tool_name: "mcp_openrouter_chat_completion", arguments: { model: "anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet", messages: [ { role: "user", content: [ { type: "text", text: "What's in this image?" }, { type: "image_url", image_url: { url: "https://example.com/image.jpg" } } ] } ] } });
