    AI Consultant MCP Server

    A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI agents to consult with multiple AI models through OpenRouter. Features intelligent model auto-selection, conversation history, caching, and robust error handling.

    What is this?

    This MCP server allows your AI assistant (like Claude Desktop) to consult with various AI models (GPT, Gemini, Grok, etc.) through a single interface. It automatically selects the best model for your task or lets you choose a specific one.

    Quick Start

    Installation from npm

    npm install -g ai-consultant-mcp
    

    Prerequisites

    You'll need an OpenRouter API key. Get one at OpenRouter.

    Configuration

    Option 1: Using npm package (Recommended)

    Edit your MCP client configuration file:

    For Claude Desktop:

    • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
    • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "ai-consultant": {
          "command": "npx",
          "args": ["-y", "ai-consultant-mcp"],
          "env": {
            "OPENROUTER_API_KEY": "your-openrouter-api-key"
          }
        }
      }
    }
    

    For other MCP clients:

    Configure according to your client's documentation, using npx -y ai-consultant-mcp as the command.

    Option 2: Running locally (Development)

    1. Clone the repository:
    git clone https://github.com/filipkrayem/ai-consultant-mcp.git
    cd ai-consultant-mcp
    
    1. Install dependencies:
    npm install
    
    1. Build the project:
    npm run build
    
    1. Configure your MCP client:
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "ai-consultant": {
          "command": "node",
          "args": ["/absolute/path/to/ai-consultant-mcp/dist/index.js"],
          "env": {
            "OPENROUTER_API_KEY": "your-openrouter-api-key"
          }
        }
      }
    }

    • grok-code-fast-1: xAI's Grok Code Fast 1 - code review, complex reasoning, and analysis

    Features

    • 🤖 Multiple AI models - Access GPT, Gemini, Grok, and more through one interface
    • 🎯 Smart model selection - Automatically picks the best model for your task
    • 💬 Conversation history - Maintain context across multiple questions
    • Response caching - Reduces API calls and costs
    • 🔄 Automatic retries - Handles transient failures gracefully
    • 🛡️ Circuit breaker - Prevents cascading failures

    FAQ

    What is the AI Consultant (OpenRouter) MCP server?
    AI Consultant (OpenRouter) is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server profile on explainx.ai. MCP lets AI hosts (e.g. Claude Desktop, Cursor) call tools and resources through a standard interface; this page summarizes categories, install hints, and community ratings.
    How do MCP servers relate to agent skills?
    Skills are reusable instruction packages (often SKILL.md); MCP servers expose live capabilities. Teams frequently combine both—skills for workflows, MCP for APIs and data. See explainx.ai/skills and explainx.ai/mcp-servers for parallel directories.
    How are reviews shown for AI Consultant (OpenRouter)?
    This profile displays 58 aggregated ratings (sample rows for discoverability plus signed-in user reviews). Average score is about 4.8 out of 5—verify behavior in your own environment before production use.

    Use Cases

    Extended AI Capabilities

    Add new capabilities to Claude beyond text generation

    Example

    Access external data sources, execute code, interact with tools and services

    Transform Claude from chatbot to action-taking agent

    Context Enhancement

    Provide Claude with access to relevant context and data

    Example

    Load project documentation, access knowledge bases, query databases

    Get more accurate, context-aware responses

    Workflow Automation

    • Share successful configurations with team
    • Use MCP inspector for debugging
    • Join MCP community for tips and troubleshooting

    Technical Details

    Architecture

    Model Context Protocol standardizes how AI hosts (Claude, Cursor) communicate with external tools and data sources through server implementations.

    Protocols

    • Model Context Protocol (MCP)
    • JSON-RPC 2.0
    • stdio or HTTP transport

    Compatibility

    • Claude Desktop
    • Cursor IDE
    • Custom MCP clients

    When to Use This

    ✓ Use When

    Use when you need Claude to access external data, execute actions, or integrate with tools. Best for extending AI capabilities beyond conversation.

    ✗ Avoid When

    Avoid when native integrations exist (use official APIs directly), for real-time critical systems, or when security/compliance requires zero external dependencies.

    Integration

    • Tool composition: Chain multiple MCP tools in workflows
    • Context augmentation: Provide AI with relevant external data
    • Action delegation: Let AI execute tasks on external systems
    • Bidirectional sync: Keep AI context and external systems in sync
