Works with the providers you already use
Smart routing
Auto-pick the cheapest model that meets your latency, context, and quality bar. Pin or exclude providers per API key.

OpenAI-compatible
Drop-in replacement for the OpenAI SDK. Switch base URL, keep your code.
MCP server
Native Streamable-HTTP and stdio shim for Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, and any MCP-aware client.
