LLM CLI Gateway MCP Server

Secure local control plane for AI coding agents. llm-cli-gateway lets supported MCP clients operate Claude Code, Codex, Gemini/Antigravity, Grok Build, Mistral Vibe, Cognition Devin, Cursor Agent, and configured HTTP API providers through one user-owned gateway while preserving native CLI sessions, local credentials, durable async jobs, validation receipts, and review workflows. Its 7 documented tools cluster into validate, review, second, red.

People connecting this server to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

Claude Code

claude mcp add verivus-oss-llm-cli-gateway -- npx -y llm-cli-gateway

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config
