The process can start and complete the MCP handshake without an API key. A key is resolved only when a Routara tool is invoked, which lets directories validate the server safely.

Reliability and compatibility

  • Requests time out instead of hanging indefinitely.
  • Transient network errors, HTTP 429, and HTTP 5xx responses are retried with bounded backoff.
  • API errors include the upstream request ID and retry delay when available.
  • routara_chat returns the complete OpenAI-compatible response, preserving reasoning content and tool calls.
  • Media parameters are forwarded only when explicitly supplied; model-specific support varies.

Development
