bifrost-mcp

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for managing a Bifrost LLM gateway's admin API — governance (virtual keys, teams, customers, budgets), provider configuration, routing rules, model/pricing config, request-log observability, and core gateway config.

This is not the MCP-gateway feature built into Bifrost itself (routing MCP tool calls to LLMs). It's the other direction: it lets an MCP client (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) administer your Bifrost instance — create a virtual key for a new environment, set budgets, add provider API keys, and so on — without leaving your agent session.

Setup

npm install
npm run build

Authentication

Bifrost's /api/* management endpoints accept a Bearer token that is either:

  • a session token from POST /api/session/login, or

  • base64("admin_username:admin_password") — the same admin account you create once via BIFROST_SETUP_TOKEN when you first set up the instance.

Set one of these in your environment:

Variable

Description

BIFROST_URL

Base URL of your Bifrost instance, e.g. https://bf.example.com. Required.

BIFROST_ADMIN_USERNAME + BIFROST_ADMIN_PASSWORD

Admin credentials created in the Bifrost dashboard.

BIFROST_MANAGEMENT_TOKEN

A pre-obtained Bearer token, if you have one, instead of the two above.

Usage with an MCP client

Add it to your client's MCP config, e.g. .mcp.json for Claude Code:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bifrost": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/bifrost-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "BIFROST_URL": "https://bf.example.com",
        "BIFROST_ADMIN_USERNAME": "admin",
        "BIFROST_ADMIN_PASSWORD": "your-admin-password"
      }
    }
  }
}

Model configs (per-model budget/rate-limit overrides) — bifrost_list_model_configs, bifrost_get_model_config, bifrost_create_model_config, bifrost_update_model_config, bifrost_delete_model_config

Pricing overrides — bifrost_list_pricing_overrides, bifrost_create_pricing_override, bifrost_update_pricing_override, bifrost_delete_pricing_override, bifrost_force_sync_pricing

Model catalog — bifrost_list_models, bifrost_list_base_models, bifrost_get_model_details, bifrost_get_model_parameters

Observability — bifrost_list_request_logs, bifrost_get_request_log, bifrost_get_log_stats, bifrost_get_log_dashboard, bifrost_get_log_histogram, bifrost_get_log_rankings

Gateway config — bifrost_get_config, bifrost_update_config, bifrost_get_proxy_config, bifrost_update_proxy_config, bifrost_get_version, bifrost_list_notifications, bifrost_clear_cache_entry, bifrost_clear_cache

This covers Bifrost's governance hierarchy (Customer → Team → Virtual Key → Provider Config), provider/key management, routing rules, model/pricing config, request-log observability, and core gateway config. Not covered, because these are Enterprise-only features not present in the open-source build: RBAC, access-profiles, business units, audit-log export, the legacy /api/teams /api/users /api/roles /api/access-profiles /api/audit-logs /api/business-units paths (all superseded by /api/governance/* anyway). Also not covered: Bifrost's own MCP-gateway feature (/api/mcp/*, /api/mcp-logs/* — routing MCP tool calls to LLMs, unrelated to administering Bifrost itself), webhooks, plugins, circuit-breaker policies, prompt-repo, and skills. Open an issue or PR if you need any of these.
