Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Proxyllm MCP Tools (9)
proxyllm_savings_calculator
Given a monthly OpenAI API bill in USD, returns the ChatGPT/Codex subscription tier that absorbs that workload through ProxyLLM Codex Hosted, the flat total (subscription + $129 fee), and the monthly savings. Free, no auth.
proxyllm_list_models
OpenAI-shaped model list from the gateway. No auth required; with a routing key it reflects that key's lanes, including the live Codex catalog.
proxyllm_introspect_key
GET /v1/key: the key's provider lanes, reachable models, whether a Codex subscription backs it, and monthly budget state. Authed by the routing key itself.
proxyllm_signup
Starts autonomous account creation: a 6-digit code is emailed to the operator's inbox (no captcha, no browser). New accounts are unpaid and are removed after 48 hours unless a human activates the membership. Follow with proxyllm_verify_signup.
proxyllm_verify_signup
