What is the Smart Ai Bridge MCP Server?

MCP server for Claude Code — multi-AI orchestration across local + cloud LLMs, intelligent backend routing, council-driven workflows, and token-saving file

What the server does

Smart AI Bridge is an MCP server that sits between Claude Code and your AI backends. It provides 18 tools for token-saving file operations, multi-AI workflows, code quality checks, and intelligent routing -- all configured through a single JSON file.

  • Any OpenAI-compatible provider works. — Local models (vLLM, LM Studio, Ollama), cloud APIs, or a mix of both. The included presets cover common providers, but adding your own is just a config entry
  • Smart routing — selects the best backend per task using a 4-tier system: forced selection, learned preferences, rule-based heuristics, and health-based fallback
  • Council system — queries multiple backends on the same prompt and returns all responses for Claude to synthesize. Configurable strategies (parallel, sequential, debate, fallback) per topic
  • Web dashboard — for managing backends and council configuration without editing JSON files

Credentials and setup notes

  • Node.js >= 18.0.0 - At least one backend configured (local model or cloud API key) - Claude Code or Claude Desktop for MCP integration
