MCP Bench Router

Overview

MCP Bench Router is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server: Routes design tasks to designarena.ai's top-ranked model via OpenRouter across 14 categories. Because it speaks the Model Context Protocol, AI assistants can use MCP Bench Router as a set of callable tools instead of you copy-pasting between apps.

It runs locally: the npm package mcp-bench-router speaks MCP over stdio on your machine. Configuration happens through environment variables — you'll need OPENROUTER_API_KEY. The current release is v1.0.1, published under the MIT license, with source at K1ta141k/mcp-bench-router on GitHub.

On mcp.site, MCP Bench Router sits in the Design category. Any MCP client can use it — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed among them — via the install snippets below.
