@robot-resources/router-mcp

⚠️ DEPRECATED — npm package no longer published. The Router MCP server has been replaced by the in-process Router plugin shipped with @robot-resources/router. A standalone Router MCP for non-OpenClaw agents is on the roadmap. For Router today, use the OpenClaw plugin (npx robot-resources), the JS library, the Python SDK (pip install robot-resources), or the HTTP API at https://api.robotresources.ai/v1/route. See robotresources.ai/docs.

MCP server for managing Robot Resources Router — stats, config, and model comparison.

What is Robot Resources?

Human Resources, but for your AI agents.

Robot Resources cuts your LLM API costs by 60-90%. It runs a local proxy that classifies each prompt by task type (coding, reasoning, analysis, simple Q&A, creative, general) and routes it to the cheapest model that can handle it — across 14 models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google.

Your API keys never leave your machine. Free, unlimited, no tiers.

Install the full suite

npx robot-resources

One command sets up the Router proxy, configures your agents, and gets you saving immediately.

About this MCP server

This package gives AI agents management tools for the Router proxy via the Model Context Protocol. Use it to check cost savings, compare models, and adjust routing config — all from within Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or any MCP-compatible agent.

Quick Start

npx @robot-resources/router-mcp

Requires the Router proxy running at localhost:3838 (default). Override with ROUTER_URL env var.

Configuration

Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "router": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@robot-resources/router-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add to your .mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "router": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@robot-resources/router-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Custom Router URL

If the proxy runs on a non-default port:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "router": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@robot-resources/router-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "ROUTER_URL": "http://localhost:4000"
      }
    }
  }
}

Tools

router_get_stats

Cost savings statistics for the Router proxy.

router_compare_models

Compare models by capability and cost for a given task type.

router_get_config

Read current routing configuration (provider scope, thresholds, overrides).

No parameters required.

router_set_config

Update routing configuration at runtime. Changes are in-memory only (reset on restart).

Pass null for any field to reset it to the env-var default.

Requirements

• Node.js >= 18.0.0

• Router proxy running (see @robot-resources/router)
