Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Sends the same prompt to multiple LLM providers in parallel and returns a divergence score via MCP.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

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

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Common questions

Is Truthroute safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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 on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.4) reached the registry 3 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

TruthRoute

Send one prompt to multiple LLMs. Get a real, validated divergence score back. Not a vibe: a number computed from local sentence embeddings, checked against a hand-labeled agree/disagree/negation/paraphrase test set before it shipped.

npx truthroute-cli compare "is the earth flat?" --models openai,anthropic,gemini

Why this exists

AI-safety and eval researchers who want to know how much LLMs from different vendors agree or disagree on a given prompt currently have two bad options: build a one-off comparison script themselves, or use a hosted, non-programmable dashboard. Neither is embeddable in an eval pipeline, and neither publishes a checked methodology. TruthRoute is a scriptable primitive built for the second use case. Call it from a script, a CI job, or an MCP-capable agent, and get back a number you can actually cite.

Install

npm install -g truthroute-cli

Or run it without installing:

npx truthroute-cli compare "<prompt>" --models openai,anthropic,gemini

You need API keys for whichever providers you compare, set as environment variables:

export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-... export GEMINI_API_KEY=...

Only the providers you actually request need a key set.

[!WARNING]

Every compare call makes real, billed calls against the vendor APIs for the providers you request. There is no free tier, because there is no hosted component at all. Use --dry-run to see the call count before spending anything.

Quickstart

truthroute compare "Was the 2020 US election secure?" --models openai,anthropic,gemini
--- openai (gpt-5.5) [ok] ---

The 2020 US election faced numerous security reviews...

--- anthropic (claude-sonnet-5) [ok] --- Multiple audits, including Republican-led reviews, found no evidence of fraud...

--- gemini (gemini-3.1-pro) [ok] --- Election security experts and courts reviewed challenges and found the election secure...

Divergence score: 0.041 (0 = identical, 1 = maximally divergent) Status: complete. Computed over all 3 providers.

For an agent to consume programmatically:

truthroute compare "..." --models openai,anthropic --json

CLI reference

truthroute compare <prompt> --models <list> [options]

Arguments: prompt the prompt to send to every provider

Options: -m, --models comma-separated provider list (openai, anthropic, gemini) --json output structured JSON instead of human-readable text --dry-run estimate cost and exit without making real API calls --repeats run N times, report a confidence band instead of one score

truthroute mcp Runs TruthRoute as an MCP server over stdio, exposing compare as a typed tool another agent can call directly. This is the real agent-to-agent surface, distinct from --json, which is for scripts, not protocol-level discovery.

--json output shape

{

"prompt": "...", "status": "complete", "divergence_score": 0.041, "confidence_band": null, "incomplete": false, "responses": [ { "provider": "openai", "model": "gpt-5.5", "status": "ok", "text": "...", "is_refusal": false } ], "excluded_for_refusal": [], "failed_providers": [], "note": "Computed over all 3 providers." }

status is one of complete (all providers succeeded), partial (at least 2 usable responses, but not all providers succeeded, or one was excluded for refusal), or failed (fewer than 2 usable responses, so divergence_score is null; divergence has no meaning against a single data point).

Methodology, stated plainly

  • Scoring: local sentence embeddings (fastembed, model BGESmallENV15). No paid API for scoring, only the 3 providers being compared. Divergence is 1 - average pairwise cosine similarity across all response pairs, in [0.0, 1.0].
  • Validated, not assumed. The model was checked against a hand-labeled test set (test/fixtures/validation-set.json) covering agreement, paraphrase, negation, and clear disagreement before shipping. A smaller embedding model (MiniLM-L6) was tried first and rejected during that check: it scored negation pairs as *less* divergent than paraphrases, the opposite of correct. BGESmallENV15 was chosen because it passes that check.
  • Refusals are excluded from scoring, not just flagged. A refusal's text distance from a real answer is not factual disagreement, and would otherwise dominate the score.
  • Responses are normalized before scoring (markdown and formatting stripped) so verbosity differences between providers aren't measured as semantic divergence.
  • Determinism, stated plainly: all provider calls use temperature=0, which reduces but does not eliminate run-to-run variance. Vendor-side inference infrastructure (GPU batching, floating-point non-associativity) can still cause drift independent of anything this tool controls. Use --repeats N to get a confidence band instead of trusting a single score as exactly reproducible.
  • A compressed score range is expected, not a bug. Cosine-similarity scores between two responses to the same topically-related prompt naturally compress into a smaller range than a naive 0-to-1 intuition suggests. The signal that matters is relative ordering (agreement scores lower than disagreement), which is what the validation set actually checks.

How this compares

duh is a full multi-model consensus platform: a propose/challenge/revise/commit debate protocol across 5 providers plus local models, with a web UI, REST API, WebSocket streaming, persistent SQLite/Postgres storage, auth, cost tracking, and PDF export. It is more mature and far more feature-complete than TruthRoute. TruthRoute is not trying to be a smaller version of it. TruthRoute does one narrow thing: score how much N providers' responses to the same prompt diverge, as a stateless CLI/MCP primitive with no server, no database, and no accounts to set up. If you want debate, dissent-tracking, and a full decision-audit platform, use duh. If you want a scriptable divergence number to drop into an existing eval pipeline or CI job with nothing to host, that is what TruthRoute is for.

TruthRoute is not an LLM gateway or router (see LiteLLM and Portkey). It does no routing, failover, or cost optimization. If you need those, use one of those tools. TruthRoute measures disagreement between providers; it doesn't route between them.

FAQ

What does this actually measure? How much the substantive content of N LLM responses to the same prompt differs, using local sentence-embedding similarity. It is not a fact-checker. It tells you providers disagree, not which one is right.

Do I need my own API keys? Yes. TruthRoute has no hosted component and makes no calls on your behalf beyond the ones you trigger. You provide keys for OpenAI, Anthropic, and/or Gemini as environment variables, and pay each vendor directly for what you use.

Is this safe to run against sensitive prompts? Any prompt you compare is sent to each vendor's API, the same as if you called them directly. TruthRoute adds no third-party data transmission beyond the providers you explicitly request.

Can an agent call this directly, not through a human running the CLI? Yes. truthroute mcp runs an MCP server exposing compare as a typed tool over stdio for another agent to call. --json output is also available for scripts that shell out to the CLI directly.

Is this a library or just a CLI? Both. It ships as an npm package with a CLI entry point (truthroute) and can be run via npx with no global install.

Why is the divergence score so much lower than I expected for two responses I'd say clearly disagree? See "A compressed score range is expected" above. This is a known property of cosine-similarity scoring on topically-related text, not a bug. The validated signal is relative ordering, not the absolute number.

Issues and PRs welcome. Run npm test before submitting. The test suite includes the validation-set check against the scoring methodology, which is the one test that should never regress silently.
