MindBridge MCP Server ⚡ The AI Router for Big Brain Moves

MindBridge is your AI command hub — a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server built to unify, organize, and supercharge your LLM workflows.

Forget vendor lock-in. Forget juggling a dozen APIs.
MindBridge connects your apps to any model, from OpenAI and Anthropic to Ollama and DeepSeek — and lets them talk to each other like a team of expert consultants.

Need raw speed? Grab a cheap model.
Need complex reasoning? Route it to a specialist.
Want a second opinion? MindBridge has that built in.

This isn't just model aggregation. It's model orchestration.

Core Features 🔥

Why MindBridge?

"Every LLM is good at something. MindBridge makes them work together."

Perfect for:

• Agent builders
• Multi-model workflows
• AI orchestration engines
• Reasoning-heavy tasks
• Building smarter AI dev environments
• LLM-powered backends
• Anyone tired of vendor walled gardens

• GOOGLE_API_KEY: Your Google AI API key
• OPENROUTER_API_KEY: Your OpenRouter API key
• OLLAMA_BASE_URL: Ollama instance URL (default: http://localhost:11434)
• OPENAI_COMPATIBLE_API_KEY: (Optional) API key for OpenAI-compatible services
• OPENAI_COMPATIBLE_API_BASE_URL: Base URL for OpenAI-compatible services
• OPENAI_COMPATIBLE_API_MODELS: Comma-separated list of available models

MCP Configuration

For use with MCP-compatible IDEs like Cursor or Windsurf, you can use the following configuration in your mcp.json file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mindbridge": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@pinkpixel/mindbridge"
      ],
      "env": {
        "OPENAI_API_KEY": "OPENAI_API_KEY_HERE",
        "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY_HERE",
        "GOOGLE_API_KEY": "GOOGLE_API_KEY_HERE",
        "DEEPSEEK_API_KEY": "DEEPSEEK_API_KEY_HERE",
        "OPENROUTER_API_KEY": "OPENROUTER_API_KEY_HERE"
      },
      "provider_config": {
        "openai": {
          "default_model": "gpt-4o"
        },
        "anthropic": {
          "default_model": "claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022"
        },
        "google": {
          "default_model": "gemini-2.0-flash"
        },
        "deepseek": {
          "default_model": "deepseek-chat"
        },
        "openrouter": {
          "default_model": "openai/gpt-4o"
        },
        "ollama": {
          "base_url": "http://localhost:11434",
          "default_model": "llama3"
        },
        "openai_compatible": {
          "api_key": "API_KEY_HERE_OR_REMOVE_IF_NOT_NEEDED",
          "base_url": "FULL_API_URL_HERE",
          "available_models": ["MODEL1", "MODEL2"],
          "default_model": "MODEL1"
        }
      },
      "default_params": {
        "temperature": 0.7,
        "reasoning_effort": "medium"
      },
      "alwaysAllow": [
        "getSecondOpinion",
        "listProviders",
        "listReasoningModels"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Replace the API keys with your actual keys. For the OpenAI-compatible configuration, you can remove the api_key field if the service doesn't require authentication.

Usage 💫

Starting the Server

Development mode with auto-reload:

npm run dev

Production mode:

npm run build
npm start

When installed globally:

mindbridge

Available Tools

1. getSecondOpinion
