The OpenRouter for tools. One MCP connection gives any AI agent 254 hosted tools, pay per call.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 9, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • route

    Send a natural-language intent and optionally any dimensions you already know (tool, skill, model, input fields). Fills only the blanks via Jev, then either executes the call or returns a ready-to-run use_tool payload. Explicit values are never overridden. Returns candidates when

  • use_tool

  • brain_wings

    List the wings of your brain — the top-level areas your knowledge is organised under (e.g. "engineering", "family"). For each wing returns the rooms and halls inside, page count, and last-updated time. Use this to discover the right wing/hall to pass to brain_query.

  • connector_permissions

    View or set permissions for tools on a connected MCP server — which tools are allowed, rate limits, budget caps, argument restrictions. Pass the connector slug (from connector_list) and action: "list" to see current rules, or action: "set" with tool_name + rules to update one. Te

Common questions

Is ToolRouter safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.3.2) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

ToolRouter — the OpenRouter for tools

The OpenRouter for tools. One MCP connection gives any AI agent 250+ hosted tools, pay per call.

ToolRouter is the OpenRouter for tools. Connect once over MCP and your agent can discover and call 250+ hosted specialist tools: web search, scraping, image and video generation, SEO, finance, property, compliance and more. Free tools work immediately; paid tools are pay per call. Everything runs on the hosted gateway; nothing executes locally.

The compact routing surface costs an agent about 9,000 tokens of context for the whole catalog, versus roughly 257,000 tokens if every skill were loaded as its own tool (measured 2026-09-03; method and raw data at https://toolrouter.com/blog/mcp-tool-schema-token-cost).

Connect in one line

Hosted endpoint: https://api.toolrouter.com/mcp (streamable HTTP). No API key needed — the server provisions a free account on first connect and returns a claim link.

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{

"mcpServers": { "toolrouter": { "url": "https://api.toolrouter.com/mcp" } } }

VS Code

Add to .vscode/mcp.json:

{

"servers": { "toolrouter": { "type": "http", "url": "https://api.toolrouter.com/mcp" } } }

Gemini CLI

Add to ~/.gemini/settings.json:

Windsurf

Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{

"mcpServers": { "toolrouter": { "serverUrl": "https://api.toolrouter.com/mcp" } } }

Any other MCP client that speaks streamable HTTP can use the same URL.

Local bridge (npm)

toolrouter-mcp is a stdio bridge to the same hosted gateway, plus a CLI. Use it where a client cannot take a remote URL.

Three ways to use it

1. MCP Server (for AI agents)

Run with no arguments to start an MCP stdio server. No API key needed — auto-provisions on first use:

npx -y toolrouter-mcp
2. CLI (for terminal workflows)
npx -y toolrouter-mcp tools                    # list all tools

npx -y toolrouter-mcp search "web scraping" # search by keyword npx -y toolrouter-mcp call seo analyze_page --url https://example.com npx -y toolrouter-mcp help

3. REST API (direct HTTP)
# Get an API key (or use one from ~/.toolrouter/key after MCP setup)

curl -X POST https://api.toolrouter.com/v1/auth/provision

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOOLROUTER_API_KEY" \ -d '{"tool":"seo","skill":"analyze_page","input":{"url":"https://example.com"}}' \ https://api.toolrouter.com/v1/tools/call

Install the local bridge

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{

"mcpServers": { "toolrouter": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "toolrouter-mcp"] } } }

API Key

No setup needed — toolrouter-mcp auto-provisions a free API key on first use and caches it to ~/.toolrouter/key. Free tools work immediately. For paid tools, visit the claim URL printed on first run to add credits.

To use an existing key instead: set TOOLROUTER_API_KEY=tr_live_xxx as an environment variable.

How It Works

This package serves two purposes from one binary:

  • MCP mode (no args): Starts an MCP stdio server that proxies tools/list and tools/call to the ToolRouter API via Streamable HTTP.
  • CLI mode (tools/search/call/help): Thin HTTP client that sends requests to the ToolRouter API and prints results. No local tool execution.

Both modes go through https://api.toolrouter.com — all processing happens on ToolRouter's infrastructure.
