llm-council-mcp-server is a local tool for getting more than one AI-style view on a hard question before turning the result into one answer. It works as an MCP server inside such as Claude Code, Codex CLI, and . The free internal council mode does not need an OpenRouter key; the current agent imitates five viewpoints: a pragmatist, an architect, a skeptic, a clean-code reviewer, and a product or UX thinker.

The full multi-model mode uses OpenRouter and follows three steps: separate answers from different models, anonymous review of those answers, and a final synthesis by a . It can run from PyPI through uvx, so there is no need to clone the repository. A browser setup screen lets users change the API key, models, , and .

The docs and setup screen are available in English and German, and the tool is still early and mainly focused on Mac for now.
