Add MCP

Add MCP Server

Register an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server on a live LiteLLM proxy so it can be used by models and agents.

Setup

Ask for these if not already known:

LITELLM_BASE_URL  — e.g. https://my-proxy.example.com
LITELLM_API_KEY   — proxy admin key

API reference: https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/mcp

Ask the user

1. Server name (required, e.g. my-github-mcp)
2. URL (required, e.g. https://mcp.example.com/sse)
3. Transport — sse (default), http, or stdio
4. Description (optional)
5. Auth — does it need a bearer token or API key? (optional)

Run

curl -s -X POST "$BASE/v1/mcp/server" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "server_name": "<name>",
    "url": "<url>",
    "transport": "sse",
    "description": "<description_or_omit>",
    "auth_type": "bearer_token",
    "credentials": "<token_if_needed>"
  }'

For unauthenticated servers, omit auth_type and credentials.

List existing MCP servers

curl -s "$BASE/v1/mcp/server" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY"

Delete an MCP server

curl -s -X DELETE "$BASE/v1/mcp/server/<server_id>" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY"

Output

Show server_id — needed to reference this MCP server in agent configs or to delete it later.
