What is Openrouter MCP?

It's an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects Openrouter to your AI, giving the agent tools to act on your data — through a single remote link.

Which AI clients does it work with?

Any MCP-compatible client: Claude (web, desktop and mobile), Cursor, ChatGPT with connectors, OpenClaw and other agents.

No. Paste the remote URL into your client, authenticate once, and you're done — no packages to install, no code to write.

Is it secure? Can the AI change my data?

Access is authorized by you and can be revoked anytime. Permissions follow what Openrouter exposes; you approve them when connecting.

How much does it cost?

You start free and upgrade when you need more usage. Billing and limits are managed in your mcp.ai account.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Plans are monthly and can be cancelled at any time, with no lock-in.
