OrcaRouter
Connects Claude and other MCP clients to OrcaRouter's LLM gateway with 160+ models from providers like Anthropic, OpenAI, and Minimax. You get four tools: browse the full catalog with pricing and context limits, inspect individual model cards, list providers, and route chat completions through specific models or the auto router (which picks models by cost, quality, or adaptive strategies). Catalog browsing works without an API key so you can compare options first. Useful when you want model flexibility without managing multiple provider APIs yourself, or when you need fallback chains and auto-routing baked into your Claude workflow.
