What is AI Gateway MCP?
A connector for Claude and ChatGPT. Your chat keeps doing the writing and the thinking, and makes pictures and video with the models on Vercel AI Gateway, through one private link that only your own copy answers.
What does it cost?
The project is free and open source under the MIT license. You pay only for the models you use, at each provider’s list price: AI Gateway charges no markup and no platform fee on tokens. There is no plan or monthly fee.
Which chat apps does it work with?
Claude and ChatGPT, added as a custom connector.
Who bills me?
Vercel, on your own account. You top up AI Gateway credits there, and every team also gets free monthly credits for a set of models. You can set a spend budget in AI Gateway to cap what your link can spend.
Is it made by Vercel?
No. It was built independently and is not made by or affiliated with Vercel. It runs on your own Vercel account.
Is it safe?
Your link works like a password, so keep it private. Files stay in your own private storage, download links expire, and nobody else ever holds your keys.
Can someone guess my link?
Not in practice. The secret made during setup is 64 random characters, so trying addresses one by one would never reach it, and every wrong try gets the same "page not found" as any other address. The real risk is the link leaking: if it does, change MCP_SECRET in your project and redeploy, and the old link stops working at once. A spend budget in AI Gateway caps what anyone could spend meanwhile.
