Summary

Implement the LLM Gateway MCP server that provides unified access to multiple LLM providers with intelligent routing, failover, and cost tracking. This is the highest priority MCP server as all agent interactions depend on it.

Sub-Tasks

1. Project Setup

  • Initialize FastMCP project in mcp-servers/llm-gateway/
  • Create pyproject.toml with dependencies
  • Add fastmcp>=0.4.0, litellm>=1.50.0, redis>=5.0.0

  • Add to docker-compose.dev.yml
  • Create README.md with setup instructions

2. LiteLLM Integration (providers.py)

  • Configure Anthropic provider (Claude Opus 4.5, Sonnet 4, Haiku 3.5)
  • Configure OpenAI provider (GPT-5.1 variants, Codex)
  • Configure Google provider (Gemini 3 Pro, Flash)
  • Configure DeepSeek provider (V3.2, Coder)
  • Add provider health check functions
  • Implement provider-specific error handling
  • Add rate limit tracking per provider

  • Add model metadata (context window, pricing, capabilities)
  • Create model selection logic based on task requirements
  • Support custom model groups via configuration

4. Failover Chain (failover.py)

  • Implement primary model attempt with configurable timeout
  • Add automatic fallback to secondary model on failure
  • Add tertiary fallback as last resort
  • Track failure counts per model
  • Implement circuit breaker (5 failures = 30s cooldown)
  • Add circuit breaker half-open state for recovery testing
  • Log failover events with reason
  • Emit failover metrics to EventBus

5. Routing Logic (routing.py)

  • Create ModelRouter class

  • Add latency-aware routing (prefer faster models)
  • Support explicit model override in requests
  • Add request queuing for rate-limited providers

6. Cost Tracking (cost_tracking.py)

  • Define cost per 1K tokens for each model (input/output)

  • Store usage in Redis with TTL (30 days)
  • Aggregate costs by project_id
  • Aggregate costs by agent_id
  • Aggregate costs by user_id

7. Token Usage Logging (usage.py)

  • Count input tokens using tiktoken
  • Count output tokens from response
  • Log usage to structured logger
  • Store usage records in Redis
  • Create usage analytics functions

  • Implement project-level token budgets

8. MCP Tools Implementation (server.py)

  • Implement complete tool (non-streaming)
    • Accept messages, model_group, max_tokens, temperature
    • Accept project_id, agent_id for tracking
    • Return completion with usage stats
