ToolRoute

Routing layer for AI agents. One call returns the best MCP server and LLM for any task — scored on 132 real benchmark executions.

MIT


Quick start

Add to any MCP client (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "toolroute": {
      "url": "https://toolroute.io/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or via HTTP:

curl -X POST https://toolroute.io/api/route \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"task": "search the web for recent AI papers"}'
{
  "approach": "mcp_server",
  "recommended_skill": "exa-mcp-server",
  "recommended_model": "gemini-flash-2.0",
  "confidence": 0.91
}

How it works

Every task falls into one of three approaches:

Approach

When

Returns

direct_llm

Task needs only an LLM (code, writing, analysis)

Best model + cost estimate

mcp_server

Task needs an external tool (search, email, calendar)

Best tool + best model

multi_tool

Compound task ("send Slack AND update Jira AND email")

Ordered orchestration chain

Routing uses an LLM classifier (~$0.00001/call) for task understanding, then ranks candidates on a 5-dimension score:

Value Score = 0.35 × Output Quality
            + 0.25 × Reliability
            + 0.15 × Efficiency
            + 0.15 × Cost
            + 0.10 × Trust

Every reported outcome updates the scores. The routing gets more accurate as more agents use it.
