What is the Portkey MCP Server?
What you can do
Connect AI agents to the Portkey AI Gateway for enterprise-grade observability and management:
- Monitor logs and traces of all LLM calls passing through your gateway
- Analyze token usage, latency, and costs across models and teams
- Submit feedback (Likes/Dislikes) to improve model quality and agent performance
- Export logs for audit trails, compliance, and offline cost analysis
- Review gateway configurations including retry policies, fallbacks, and cache settings
- Manage virtual keys to track provider API key usage and limits
- Discover supported models from 1,600+ LLMs available via Portkey
- Enforce budget policies to prevent runaway AI costs per team or project
How it works
- Get your Portkey API key from the dashboard Settings
- Ask your AI agent to check usage, review costs, or manage policies
- Natural language commands replace manual Portkey dashboard navigation
- Unified observability across all your LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.)
Who is this for?
Essential for AI platform engineers, LLM ops teams, FinOps analysts, AI governance officers, and engineering managers using multiple LLM providers. Let AI agents monitor gateway health, identify cost spikes, enforce budget policies, and optimize routing. Perfect for organizations spending $10k+/month on LLMs who need granular visibility into usage, latency, and model performance across the enterprise.
Built-in capabilities (10)
Requires policy name, budget limit (USD or token count), and optionally the target users or virtual keys to restrict. Returns the created policy details. Use this to enforce cost controls on specific teams or projects using the gateway. Create a new budget or usage policy for AI gateway access
Requires the policy ID. Use this when a project ends or budget constraints are no longer needed. Remove a budget or usage policy from Portkey
Optionally filters by date range, model, or user. Returns an export ID or download URL. Use this for audit trails, cost reporting, or offline analysis of AI usage patterns. Export AI gateway logs for external analysis or compliance reporting
Requires the log ID from list_logs results. Use this for deep debugging of specific AI interactions. Get detailed information about a specific AI gateway log entry
Virtual keys map to underlying provider keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) with metadata, usage limits, and policy associations. Returns key IDs, names, provider targets, current usage, and status. Use this to audit API key usage or identify keys approaching limits. List all virtual API keys managed by Portkey
Returns config IDs, names, creation dates, and associated virtual keys. Use this to review how LLM requests are routed or to audit gateway behavior. List all gateway configurations stored in Portkey
Returns log IDs, timestamps, model names, token usage, latency, costs, and status codes. Use this to monitor AI usage, identify expensive calls, or debug latency issues. Supports pagination via limit/offset. List recent AI gateway logs and traces from Portkey
). Returns model names, provider names, supported endpoints (chat, embeddings, etc.), and capabilities. Use this to discover which models are routable via your gateway. List all LLM models supported by the Portkey gateway
Returns policy names, limits, current consumption, and affected users/keys. Use this to review guardrails preventing runaway AI costs. List all budget and usage policies defined in Portkey
Requires the log ID, rating (LIKE, DISLIKE, or UNLIKE to remove), and optional text feedback. Use this to build RLHF datasets or monitor user satisfaction with AI outputs. Submit user feedback (Like/Dislike) for a specific AI response log
Why OpenAI Agents SDK?
The OpenAI Agents SDK auto-discovers all 10 tools from Portkey through native MCP integration. Build agents with built-in guardrails, tracing, and handoff patterns. chain multiple agents where one queries Portkey, another analyzes results, and a third generates reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius.

Frequently asked questions
Which LLM providers does Portkey support?
Portkey supports 1,600+ LLMs including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, Cohere, Hugging Face, and many more. Use the list_models tool to see the full catalog available via your gateway.
How does Portkey help control AI costs?
Portkey provides granular visibility into token usage, latency, and costs per model, team, or virtual key. You can create budget policies with hard limits to prevent runaway spending. The gateway also supports caching to reduce duplicate calls and fallbacks to cheaper models when appropriate.
Can I track feedback on AI responses?
Yes! Portkey allows you to submit Like/Dislike feedback for any logged LLM call. This data helps improve model selection, evaluate agent performance, and build RLHF datasets for fine-tuning.
How does the OpenAI Agents SDK connect to MCP?
Use MCPServerSse(url=...) to create a server connection. The SDK auto-discovers all tools and makes them available to your agent with full type information.
Can I use multiple MCP servers in one agent?
Yes. Pass a list of MCPServerSse instances to the agent constructor. The agent can use tools from all connected servers within a single run.
Does the SDK support streaming responses?
Yes. The SDK supports SSE and Streamable HTTP transports, both of which work natively with Vinkius.
