Generates standardized MCP tool definitions that expose Restormel's model registry, enabling Claude and other MCP-compatible clients to query available models, their capabilities, pricing tiers, and routing rules. Uses JSON Schema to define tool inputs/outputs that map to Restormel's internal model metadata, allowing clients to make informed routing decisions without hardcoding model names.
Unique: Exposes Restormel's proprietary model registry and routing logic as standardized MCP tools, allowing any MCP-compatible client to access dynamic model selection without vendor lock-in to a specific UI or SDK
vs alternatives: Unlike static model lists in most MCP implementations, this provides real-time model availability, pricing, and routing rules directly from Restormel's backend, enabling cost-aware and capability-aware model selection at runtime
Exposes Restormel's multi-provider abstraction layer as MCP tools, allowing clients to query cost estimates, token pricing, and provider-specific parameters (rate limits, context windows, supported features) without directly integrating with OpenAI, Anthropic, or other provider SDKs. Implements a unified cost calculation interface that normalizes pricing across providers with different billing models.
Unique: Centralizes provider pricing and capability metadata in Restormel's backend, exposing it via MCP tools so clients can make cost and capability-aware decisions without maintaining their own provider SDK integrations or pricing databases
vs alternatives: Simpler than managing multiple provider SDKs directly; provides unified cost calculation across providers with different billing models (per-token, per-request, subscription), and enables dynamic pricing updates without client-side code changes
Exposes Restormel's entitlements system as MCP tools, allowing clients to check user/organization quotas, usage limits, and feature access before making model requests. Implements a schema-based entitlements query interface that returns structured permission data (e.g., which models are available, rate limits, monthly token budgets) without requiring direct database access.
Unique: Exposes Restormel's multi-tenant entitlements system as queryable MCP tools, enabling client-side quota checks and feature gating without requiring direct database access or custom authorization logic in the application layer
vs alternatives: Decouples entitlements management from application code; allows Restormel to update quotas and permissions centrally without redeploying client applications, and provides structured, schema-validated entitlements data vs. opaque permission strings
Generates and exposes MCP tools that serve as dynamic documentation for Restormel's models, providers, and routing capabilities. Uses JSON Schema to define tool descriptions, parameters, and examples that Claude and other MCP clients can introspect to understand available models, their use cases, and best practices without requiring external documentation sites.
Unique: Embeds Restormel's model documentation and capability metadata directly into MCP tool definitions, allowing Claude and other clients to discover and learn about models in-context without leaving the conversation or consulting external docs
vs alternatives: More discoverable than static documentation sites; enables Claude to recommend models based on user intent by querying real-time capability data, and ensures documentation is always in sync with available models since it's served from the same backend
Provides a Node.js-based MCP server implementation that registers Restormel's tools (model routing, cost calculation, entitlements, documentation) and exposes them via the Model Context Protocol. Handles MCP protocol negotiation, tool schema validation, and request/response serialization, allowing any MCP-compatible client (Claude, custom agents) to call Restormel tools without implementing MCP protocol details.
Unique: Provides a ready-to-run MCP server implementation that abstracts away MCP protocol details, allowing developers to focus on integrating Restormel's capabilities rather than implementing MCP protocol handling from scratch
vs alternatives: Simpler than building a custom MCP server; includes pre-built tool definitions and protocol handling, reducing time-to-integration and ensuring compatibility with MCP clients like Claude
