## What is behind the key

Every model the platform serves, every tool reachable over MCP, and every agent your organization has built, from REST, WebSocket, the SDK, agent skills or any MCP client, on one bill with ceilings that hold.

- **[Every model, one endpoint](https://ibl.ai/updates/llm-catalog-45-providers-any-model)** — 45 providers and 316 chat models on one grid, through OpenRouter, Vertex, Foundry, Bedrock and each provider's own API. Switch a model per request or per agent; prompts, data and connectors stay. The catalogue syncs itself behind a verification gate. (45 providers · 316 models)
- **[Every tool, over MCP](https://ibl.ai/developer/platform/mcp/mcp-connections)** — Register any of the 1,000+ public MCP servers or your own, attach it to an agent, and bind credentials for the organization, one agent or one user. Tools read your systems in place; no copy of the data. (1,000+ MCP servers)
- **[Your agents, two ways to authenticate](https://ibl.ai/developer)** — Call any agent you built from your own code with the user's own token and role, or server to server with a tenant-scoped platform API key. One bill, spend caps at three scopes, cost per call. (REST · WebSocket · SDK · skills · MCP)

## How is Agentic Router different from a model gateway?

A model gateway puts one key in front of several model vendors and bills you per token. Agentic Router puts one key in front of the models, the tools and the agents you own, authenticates people and services differently, and runs where your data already is.

| | Agentic Router | A hosted model gateway |
|---|---|---|
| **What the key reaches** | Every model, every MCP tool, and every agent you built. | Models only. |
| **Authentication** | Per-user tokens with roles enforced, or a tenant-scoped platform key for services. | One organization key for everyone. |
| **Billing and caps** | One bill across models and tools; caps per organization, agent and user; cost per call. | Per-model spend, one cap if any. |
| **Keys and routing** | Your provider keys first; the highest-priority gateway that can serve the model. | The vendor's keys, the vendor's routing. |
| **Where it runs** | Your cloud, on-premise or air-gapped, with models served inside the perimeter. | The vendor's cloud; every prompt passes through it. |
| **What you own** | The code and the data. | A subscription. |

Agentic Router by ibl.ai gives platform engineering one key to everything the platform serves: 45 providers and 316 chat models, the MCP tools that reach core banking, Salesforce and Actimize in place, and the agents the institution has already built.

Call it from the advisor desktop, onboarding or a servicing app, with each advisor's own token or a platform key, every call logged with its cost.

Deployed in your infrastructure with your keys and your controls—including full code access.

## For Platform engineering and integration teams: One Key, Every Model and Tool

### Every model, one endpoint

45 providers and 316 chat models on one grid as of November 6, 2026: Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, Meta, Mistral, DeepSeek, Qwen, xAI and the open-weight labs, through OpenRouter, Vertex, Foundry, Bedrock and each provider's own API. Switch a model per request or per agent; prompts, data and connectors stay.

### Every tool, over MCP

Register any of the 1,000+ public MCP servers or your own, attach it to an agent, and bind credentials at the scope you choose: the whole organization, one agent or one user. The tools reach core banking, Salesforce Financial Services Cloud and NICE Actimize in place, with no copy of the data.

### Your own agents, from your own code

Every agent your organization has built on Agentic OS is callable from the advisor desktop, onboarding and servicing apps: a REST call, a streaming WebSocket session, the SDK, an agent skill or any MCP client. For example: "Run the KYC agent from the onboarding flow, server to server, with the file assembled before a person reviews it."

### Result

One integration instead of a vendor account per model and a connector per tool.

## For Platform Teams: One Bill, Enforced Ceilings

### Unified billing

Every model and every tool behind the key lands on one bill, priced by usage, never by seat. The Cost tab breaks spend down by provider, model, user and individual call, with latency percentiles beside it.

### Spend caps at three scopes

A ceiling for the whole organization, for one agent, and for one person on one agent, each with its own reset period and a mode that blocks or alerts at the limit. Enforcement is server-side, so a runaway script stops at the cap.

### Your keys first

A request routes to the highest-priority gateway that can serve the model and has a usable key, and your organization's own provider keys are preferred over platform keys. A deployment with provider keys and no ibl.ai key works with no extra configuration.

### A catalogue that keeps itself current

The model list syncs every six hours and a new model goes live only after a verification gate has tested multi-turn recall, streaming, tool calling, image input and a real, non-zero cost. For example: "Keep client-facing drafting on an approved model and let research use a cheaper one."

### Result

Cost you can see per call and cap per scope, with no procurement cycle per model.

## For Security & IT: Two Ways to Authenticate, One Place to Audit

### Per user

Advisors, operations staff and clients sign in with the identity they already have, and every call carries that person's own token. Roles are enforced on each request, so an agent answers only what the caller may see, and a person's in-chat model choice stays inside the list you allow.

### Server to server

A tenant-scoped platform API key, sent as an Api-Token header, authenticates your backend: mint per-user tokens, provision users, run pipelines. It can act for any user on the tenant, so it lives on your server, never in browser code.

### Where it runs

Your cloud, on-premise or fully air-gapped, where the same grid points at models served inside the perimeter. For example: "Cap spend per desk and reconcile cost per call against the ledger."

### Every call logged

Who asked, which model answered, which tools were called and what it cost, on systems you administer, with replayable transcripts and an audit trail per agent.

### Result

One key policy for people and for services, and nothing to reconcile across vendors.

## How Do You Call Agentic Router?

### REST

More than 1,000 documented endpoints: agents, sessions, datasets, memory, MCP servers and connections, users, roles, analytics and billing. Authorization: Api-Token <PLATFORM_API_KEY> for a service, or the user's own token.

### Streaming

Chat sessions stream over WebSocket, so a response renders token by token in your own interface.

### SDK and CLI

@iblai/iblai-js for web and native apps, @iblai/cli for the terminal, and a Python quickstart (iblai/quickstarts) that creates an agent and chats with it from a script.

### Agent skills

161 skills from iblai/vibe teach Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode or any skills-compatible coding agent to run the platform itself: configure agents, manage datasets and memory, pull cost analytics, each mapped to exact REST calls. Every skill is documented at ibl.ai/developer/skills; install with npx -y @iblai/mcp.

### Any MCP client

Every agent you deploy can be added to Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop or any other MCP client in one step, and talked to from there with its own knowledge, memory and guardrails.

### Embed and proxy

Embed the chat widget in your own app with tokens provisioned from your backend, no login popup. Third-party services such as ElevenLabs and HeyGen sit behind the same key through the external service proxy.
