write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
get-usage-statsGet the current MCP server's session usage stats: total LLM calls, token totals (input/output/thinking/cached), wall time, and breakdowns per provider and per model. No data leaves your machine — counts are tracked in-memory for the lifetime of the server process. Returns both human-readable markdown and a structured JSON snapshot via outputSchema.

Install Ask Gemini in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code
Runs npx -y @ask-llm/gemini-mcp on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.
claude mcp add ask-gemini -- npx -y @ask-llm/gemini-mcp

Ask LLM
Give your AI coding assistant a second opinion — from a different model.
Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, Claude Desktop, or any of 40+ MCP clients can call Codex, Claude, Grok, Antigravity, Ollama, or Gemini to review a diff, debate a plan, or catch the bug the first model missed. Standard MCP; no prompt hacks.
Quick Start · Choose a reviewer · Claude Code plugin · Docs · Packages
You: ask codex to review src/auth.ts for security issues
Codex: ⚠ verifyToken() compares tokens with === — not timing-safe (line 42)
⚠ the session cookie is missing a SameSite attribute
Claude: Good catches — applying both fixes to src/auth.ts.One prompt. A second model reviews independently; your assistant applies the fix. No copy-pasting between tools.
Why a second opinion?
Your primary AI is confident, but confidence isn't correctness. A second model with no stake in the first answer catches what it glossed over.
Quick Start
Prerequisites: Node.js 20+ on Linux or macOS, and at least one provider CLI installed and authenticated (see Provider setup).
Claude Code
# One install, every provider — auto-detects what you have
claude mcp add --scope user ask-llm -- npx -y @ask-llm/mcp
# first-class alternative after `npm install -g @ask-llm/mcp`:
# claude mcp add --scope user ask-llm -- ask-llm-mcpThen try: ask codex to review my last commit. Run npx @ask-llm/mcp doctor if anything looks off.
Advanced: install split provider packages instead
claude mcp add --scope user codex -- npx -y @ask-llm/codex-mcp
claude mcp add --scope user grok -e XAI_API_KEY="$XAI_API_KEY" -- npx -y @ask-llm/grok-mcp
claude mcp add --scope user antigravity -- npx -y @ask-llm/antigravity-mcp
claude mcp add --scope user ollama -- npx -y @ask-llm/ollama-mcp
claude mcp add --scope user gemini -- npx -y @ask-llm/gemini-mcpCursor
Add to .cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (user):
{
"mcpServers": {
"ask-llm": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@ask-llm/mcp"] }
}
}Codex CLI
# ~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.ask-llm]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@ask-llm/mcp"]Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
