Which tools can an agent use?

Any MCP server: register one of the 1,000+ public 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. OAuth-backed servers can authenticate a person mid-chat. The tools read your systems in place, scoped to the caller, with no copy of the data.

How does authentication work?

Two ways. Per user: each person signs in with the identity they already have, every call carries their own token, and roles are enforced on each request. Server to server: a tenant-scoped platform API key, sent as an Api-Token header, authenticates your backend and can mint per-user tokens. The platform key lives on your server, never in browser code.

How is it billed, and how do I control cost?

By usage, never by seat, on one bill across every model and tool. Spend caps exist for the whole organization, for one agent, and for one person on one agent, each with a reset period and a mode that blocks or alerts; enforcement is server-side. The Cost tab shows spend by provider, model, user and individual call.

Agentic Router

One API key for every model and tool

Q: What is Agentic Router?

Agentic Router is the engineering door to the ibl.ai platform: one API key that reaches every model the platform serves, every tool connected over MCP, and every agent your organization has built, from REST, WebSocket, the SDK, agent skills (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and others, documented at ibl.ai/developer/skills) or any MCP client. One bill, spend caps at three scopes, and with ibl.ai you own all the code and the data.

Q: Which models can I call?

On the organization recorded on November 6, 2026, the catalogue listed 45 providers and 316 chat models: Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, Meta, Mistral, DeepSeek, Qwen, xAI and the open-weight labs, through OpenRouter, Vertex, Foundry, Bedrock and each provider's own API. The list syncs itself every six hours, and a new model goes live only after a verification gate has tested recall, streaming, tool calling, image input and a real cost.

Q: Where does it run?

In your cloud, on-premise or fully air-gapped, where the same grid points at models served inside the perimeter and your own provider keys are preferred over platform keys. Or hosted by ibl.ai to start. Either way the catalogue, the keys, the routing rules and the agents sit in your own database.

One API key for the developer or agency a small business works with: every model, 1,000+ MCP servers and your agents from your website or back office, with one bill and a cap you set. On ibl.ai you own all the code and the data, run it model-agnostic across any LLM, and pay with no per-seat pricing — so you can deploy anywhere, from your own cloud to a fully air-gapped network. No need to choose build vs. buy — you get both.

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 — One API Key for Every Model, Every Tool and Every Agent You Own

Agentic Router by ibl.ai gives the developer you work with one key to everything the platform serves: dozens of model providers, the MCP tools that reach your accounting, calendar and email, and the agents you have already set up.

Call it from your website, your booking flow or a spreadsheet script, with one bill and a monthly cap, instead of five vendor accounts.

Hosted by ibl.ai or deployed on your own infrastructure—including full code access.

For The developer or agency you work with: One Key, Every Model and Tool

Every model, one endpoint45 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 MCPRegister 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 QuickBooks, your calendar and email in place, with no copy of the data.

Your own agents, from your own codeEvery agent your organization has built on Agentic OS is callable from your website, your booking flow and your back office: a REST call, a streaming WebSocket session, the SDK, an agent skill or any MCP client. For example: "Put the quote agent behind the contact form on your website."

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

For Platform Teams: One Bill, Enforced Ceilings

Unified billingEvery 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 scopesA 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 firstA 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 currentThe 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: "Let a spreadsheet script ask the bookkeeping agent a question each morning."

ResultCost 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 userYour staff and your customers 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 serverA 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 runsYour cloud, on-premise or fully air-gapped, where the same grid points at models served inside the perimeter. For example: "Set a monthly cap so the bill never surprises you."

Every call loggedWho 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.

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

How Do You Call Agentic Router?

RESTMore 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.

StreamingChat 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 skills161 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 clientEvery 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 proxyEmbed 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.
