# freellmpool (MCP server)

> freellmpool is an MCP server that adds messaging tools to AI assistants such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor. OpenAI-compatible MCP gateway cataloging 22 LLM providers, with routing, failover, and tools. It has 120 GitHub stars, is released under the MIT license and runs locally with uvx freellmpool.

freellmpool catalogs 22 LLM providers as distinct groups spanning recurring free tiers, keyless endpoints, finite trials, pin-only routes, and disabled candidates. It exposes 178 enabled chat routes and 431 cataloged chat models, and automatically pools only enabled routes you can access behind one OpenAI-compatible endpoint — as a CLI, a Python library, or a local proxy. It can start without credentials when an enabled keyless route is available.
