ask-llm

ask-llm is an MCP server for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenCode from Lykhoyda/ask-llm. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

A local Model Context Protocol server that lets an AI assistant ask several language-model providers, including Gemini, Codex, Claude, Ollama, and Antigravity, through one setup.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to route model requests locally, choose fallback models, connect to an Ollama server, and set request time limits.
Why use it?
It provides one connection for different AI backends instead of requiring separate integrations for each provider.

MCP server for Claude CodeCodexCursorGemini CLIOpenCode

Written for no agent in particular: it speaks MCP, so any client can run it.

One of 7 entries in server.json upstream. Installing this one merges just its entry into your config; the other 6 are separate, each on its own page.

Good fit Use it to route model requests locally, choose fallback models, connect to an Ollama server, and set request time limits.

Security

Grade A, and why

ask-llm scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

This page is one entry in a file that holds 7. Installing the file brings all of them; each is measured and scanned on its own page.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
