Add MCP Server
Register an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server on a live LiteLLM proxy so it can be used by models and agents.
Setup
Ask for these if not already known:
LITELLM_BASE_URL — e.g. https://my-proxy.example.com LITELLM_API_KEY — proxy admin key
API reference: https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/mcp
Ask the user
- Server name (required, e.g.
my-github-mcp) - URL (required, e.g.
https://mcp.example.com/sse) - Transport —
sse(default),http, orstdio - Description (optional)
- Auth — does it need a bearer token or API key? (optional)
Run
bashcurl -s -X POST "$BASE/v1/mcp/server" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "server_name": "<name>", "url": "<url>", "transport": "sse", "description": "<description_or_omit>", "auth_type": "bearer_token", "credentials": "<token_if_needed>" }'
For unauthenticated servers, omit auth_type and credentials.
List existing MCP servers
bashcurl -s "$BASE/v1/mcp/server" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY"
Delete an MCP server
bashcurl -s -X DELETE "$BASE/v1/mcp/server/<server_id>" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY"
Output
Show server_id — needed to reference this MCP server in agent configs or to delete it later.
