This MCP server connects your Claude assistant to the Portkey platform API, enabling you to manage AI configurations, workspaces, analytics, and user access directly through conversation. With this integration, Claude can help you monitor usage statistics, configure settings, and administer your Portkey resources.
Clone the repository
Install dependencies:
npm install
Copy the example environment file:
cp .env.example .env
Add your Portkey API key to the .env file:
PORTKEY_API_KEY=your_portkey_api_key_here

For automatic installation via Smithery:
npx -y @smithery/cli install @r-huijts/portkey-admin-mcp-server --client claude
Once installed, you can interact with the Portkey platform by asking Claude questions or giving commands related to:
Request current API usage statistics across models:
What are my current API usage statistics across different models?
View performance metrics:
Show me the performance metrics for my AI deployments
Generate analytics reports:
Generate an analytics report for last month's API calls
Create new workspaces:
Create a new workspace for my team's project
Monitor API key usage:
What's my current API key usage and remaining credits?
Set up rate limiting:
Set up rate limiting for my development environment
Configure fallback behavior:
Configure fallback behavior for my production endpoints
Set up custom headers:
Set up custom headers for my API requests
Add team members to my Portkey workspace
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| PORTKEY_API_KEY | Your Portkey API key (required) |
You can set this variable in your .env file or directly in the Claude configuration file.
To add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:
claude mcp add-json "portkey-server" '{"command":"node","args":["/path/to/portkey-server/build/index.js"],"env":{"PORTKEY_API_KEY":"your_portkey_api_key_here"}}'See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.
There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file so that it is available in all of your projects.
If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json file.
To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > Tools & Integrations and click "New MCP Server".
When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file will be opened and you can add your server like this:
{
"mcpServers": {
"portkey-server": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"/path/to/portkey-server/build/index.js"
],
"env": {
"PORTKEY_API_KEY": "your_portkey_api_key_here"
}
}
}
}To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.
Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.
The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.
You can also explicitly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.
To add this MCP server to Claude Desktop:
1. Find your configuration file:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json2. Add this to your configuration file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"portkey-server": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"/path/to/portkey-server/build/index.js"
],
"env": {
"PORTKEY_API_KEY": "your_portkey_api_key_here"
}
}
}
