Ask HN: Would you be interested in OpenRouter for MCPs?

3•subramanya1997•2d ago
I'm exploring the idea of building something like OpenRouter(https://openrouter.ai/) but tailored specifically for MCP. The idea is to provide a flexible, developer-friendly toolset for managing and integrating various MCP's.

Some features I’m considering:

1. Integration with tools like Smithery.ai (https://smithery.ai/) – to help streamline your workflows. 2. Support for hosting your own MCP – useful for teams that want more control or need to run in air-gapped environments. 3. Secret key management – securely manage and rotate API keys across different MCP's and platforms.

Would this be useful to you or your team?

If so, what additional features would you want to see? Any pain points with current MCP setups you wish were solved?

Looking forward to your thoughts!

I would, but more as a discovery platform. I wouldn't trust OpenRouter for something in production, but it's a good place to plug stuff in. It's also popular for NSFW purposes, and those models are harder to get API keys for.

I expect the killer feature for MCPs would be note taking and management. Say I want to read a book, but I'd like a synopsis to go deeper or search something in a book it references. Obsidian would be great for this, as well as some book MCP.

Piotr Wozniak discovered spaced repetition and incremental learning, but the tools for incremental learning were never good enough – it was internet explorer hacked to take notes. Obsidian made a good attempt. MCPs might just be the missing bit to get there.
