## What is LLM Radar?

LLM Radar is an **MCP server** that gives your AI assistant current information about AI models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google.

**The problem:** AI assistants have training cutoffs. Ask about models and you get outdated recommendations, deprecated APIs, or hallucinated pricing.

**The solution:** Connect LLM Radar and your AI already knows what's available today:

- Fetching fresh data from provider APIs **daily**
- Enriching it with Claude for better descriptions
- Exposing it via MCP for any compatible client

---

## MCP Server Setup

### Install via pip

```bash
# Install
pip install llm-radar-mcp

# Or run directly
pip install llm-radar-mcp && llm-radar-mcp
```

**Claude Desktop config** (local stdio):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "llm-radar": {
      "command": "llm-radar-mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

### Option 3: Docker

```bash
docker run -p 8000:8000 ghcr.io/ajentsor/llm-radar:latest
```

Then connect to `http://localhost:8000/sse`

---

## Available MCP Tools

Once connected, you can use these tools:

| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `query_models` | Search/filter models by provider, type, or modality support |
| `compare_models` | Side-by-side comparison of specific models |
| `get_model` | Get detailed info about a specific model by API ID |
| `list_model_ids` | List all available model IDs for a provider |

### Example Queries

```
"What models support vision input?"
→ Uses query_models with input_modality="image"

"Compare GPT-4o, Claude Sonnet, and Gemini 2.5 Pro"
→ Uses compare_models with those model IDs

"List all OpenAI model IDs"
→ Uses list_model_ids with provider="openai"
```

---

## Available Resources

The MCP server also exposes resources you can read directly:

| Resource URI | Description |
|--------------|-------------|
| `llm-radar://models/all` | Complete JSON data |
| `llm-radar://models/openai` | OpenAI models only |
| `llm-radar://models/anthropic` | Anthropic models only |
| `llm-radar://models/google` | Google models only |
| `llm-radar://highlights` | Curated recommendations |

## Configuration

To run the data fetcher yourself:

```bash
# .env file
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
GOOGLE_API_KEY=AI...
```

For GitHub Actions, add these as repository secrets.

## Self-Hosting

### Docker Compose

```yaml
version: '3.8'
services:
  llm-radar:
    image: ghcr.io/ajentsor/llm-radar:latest
    ports:
      - "8000:8000"
    restart: unless-stopped
