# MCP LLM Gateway

> MCP-compatible LLM gateway that proxies completion requests to downstream OpenAI-compatible providers.

mcp-name: io.github.daedalus/mcp-llm-gateway

## Install

```bash
pip install mcp-llm-gateway
```

## Usage

### Configuration

Set the following environment variables:

- `DOWNSTREAM_URL`: Base URL for the OpenAI-compatible downstream API (required)
- `DEFAULT_MODEL`: Default model to use for completions (required)
- `MODEL_LIST_URL`: URL to fetch available models from (optional, defaults to models.dev)
- `API_KEY`: Optional API key for downstream (passthrough)
- `TIMEOUT`: Request timeout in seconds (optional, default: 60)

### MCP Server

Run the MCP server with stdio transport:

```bash
mcp-llm-gateway
```

### MCP Tools

The server exposes the following tools:

- `list_models()`: List all available models from the remote endpoint
- `complete(prompt, model, max_tokens, temperature)`: Send a completion request to the downstream LLM provider

### MCP Resources

- `models://list`: Returns the list of available models
- `config://info`: Returns current gateway configuration

## Development

```bash
git clone https://github.com/daedalus/mcp-llm-gateway.git
cd mcp-llm-gateway
pip install -e ".[test]"

# run tests
pytest

# format
ruff format src/ tests/

# lint
ruff check src/ tests/

# type check
mypy src/
```

## API

### core.models

- `Model`: Dataclass representing an available LLM model
- `CompletionRequest`: Dataclass for completion request payloads
- `GatewayConfig`: Dataclass for gateway configuration

### adapters.http

- `HTTPAdapter`: HTTP client for downstream API communication
- `ModelListAdapter`: Adapter for fetching model list from remote endpoints

### services.gateway

- `ModelService`: Service for managing model discovery and caching
- `CompletionService`: Service for handling completion requests
- `ConfigService`: Service for managing gateway configuration

TDQS

A3.6/5.0

Scored across 2 tools

Disambiguation5/5

The two tools serve clearly distinct purposes: one for sending completion requests and one for listing models. There is no overlap or ambiguity between them.

Naming Consistency2/5

The naming convention is inconsistent: 'complete' is a bare verb, while 'list_models' follows a verb_noun pattern. Consistency would improve predictability.

Tool Count3/5

With only 2 tools, the surface is minimal for an LLM gateway. While it covers basic completion and model listing, it feels thin compared to typical gateways that offer more features.

Completeness2/5

The gateway lacks many expected operations such as streaming, token counting, embeddings, or health checks. This is a significant gap for a production-ready LLM gateway.
