Architecture

ToolRouter is a hosted MCP gateway. One catalog of tools for Claude, ChatGPT, and Grok. This page is a short map of the runtime path — not a full systems design dump.

Runtime path

  1. Registry — tools and skills register into one catalog the gateway can list and call.
  2. Gateway — MCP (stdio + HTTP), REST, and CLI dispatch into the registry with auth, billing, and assets.
  3. Billing — free tools stay free; paid calls settle when a paid tool works. Optional Lite, Plus, and team seats.
  4. Assets — generated files and media land in the asset store and return as URLs.
  5. Knowledge — optional per-tool RAG for tools that ship markdown knowledge bases.
