MCP server

Route Tools is also a remote MCP server (streamable HTTP). Any MCP client gets the full routed toolset — same routing, failover, and billing as the REST API.

https://api.route.tools/mcp

Setup

Authenticate with the same rt_live_ bearer key:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "route-tools": {
      "url": "https://api.route.tools/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer rt_live_..." }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http route-tools https://api.route.tools/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer rt_live_..."

Each tool accepts the same fields as its REST counterpart, including the routing block — so an agent can ask for routing: { "sort": "quality" } on a hard query and "price" everywhere else.
