Hebline MCP Server
Your agents overpay for every API call. We fix that.
Hebline routes every API call — including LLM calls — to the best service at the right price. Free when it's enough. Paid when it matters. It knows the difference.
Every other router earns a margin on your paid calls. Routing you to free alternatives kills their revenue. No margin on your API calls. Ever.
Why Hebline?
Your agents are bleeding money. One task triggers 5–10 paid API calls across different providers. No transparency, no cost control. Hebline fixes that:
- Route free first — Most calls don't need the best model. Hebline learns precisely when it matters — and keeps learning as the market changes.
- No margin. Honest routing. — We don't earn when you pay more. So we're the only router built to actually save you money.
- Provider Abstraction — Your agent says what it needs ("geocode this address"), not which service to use. Swap providers without changing agent code.
- Cost Transparency — Every call is logged with service used, latency, and cost. Know exactly what your agents spend.
- Learns from usage — Hebbian learning strengthens what works, weakens what doesn't. Your broker gets smarter every day.
- BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) — Paid services use your API keys via environment variables. No key? The service is automatically excluded from routing.
- GDPR compliant — Only anonymized metadata logged. No API call content stored. Self-hosted option for zero data leaving your network.
- Open Source — Core MCP server is MIT licensed. Community-driven adapter system.

Smart Routing
Cost Logging
Provider Scoring
Your agent connects to Hebline as an MCP server. Instead of calling APIs directly, it uses Hebline's tools — execute, compare, or categories. Hebline scores all available services, picks the best one, makes the call, and returns the result with full metadata.
Available MCP Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
execute | Route to the best service and make the API call. Returns result + metadata (service, cost, latency). |
compare | Show all available services for a capability with scores. See what's available before committing. |
categories | List all supported capabilities and their services. |
Quick Start
Add to Claude Desktop
Add to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"hebline": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "-p", "@hebline.ai/mcp-server", "hebline-mcp"]
}
}
}
Add to Claude Code
Add to .mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"hebline": {
"command": "hebline-mcp"
}
}
}
Add to Cursor
Add to .cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"hebline": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "-p", "@hebline.ai/mcp-server", "hebline-mcp"]
}
}
}
Add to Windsurf
Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"hebline": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "-p", "@hebline.ai/mcp-server", "hebline-mcp"]
}
}
}
Add to VS Code (Copilot)
Add to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"hebline": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "-p", "@hebline.ai/mcp-server", "hebline-mcp"]
}
}
}
Install globally
npm install -g @hebline.ai/mcp-server
With paid services (optional)
Set environment variables for any paid providers you want to use:
GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY=your-key-here
DEEPL_API_KEY=your-key-here
LIBRETRANSLATE_API_KEY=your-key-here
No keys? No problem — Hebline routes to free alternatives automatically.
Supported Services
| Category | Free | Paid (BYOK) |
|---|---|---|
| LLMs | Groq (Llama 3.3 70B), Google Gemini Flash | OpenAI GPT-4o-mini (OPENAI_API_KEY) |
| Geocoding | Nominatim (OpenStreetMap) | Google Maps (GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY) |
| Translation | MyMemory | DeepL (DEEPL_API_KEY), LibreTranslate (LIBRETRANSLATE_API_KEY) |
| Web Scraping | Fetch Scraper | Firecrawl (FIRECRAWL_API_KEY) |
| Currency | ExchangeRate-API | Fixer.io (FIXER_API_KEY) |
| OCR | OCR.space | Google Vision (GOOGLE_VISION_API_KEY) |
| Weather | Open-Meteo | OpenWeatherMap (OPENWEATHERMAP_API_KEY) |
| Web Search | DuckDuckGo | Brave Search (BRAVE_API_KEY) |
| News | HackerNews | NewsAPI.org (NEWSAPI_KEY) |
9 categories, 20 services. Free services work instantly — no API key needed. LLMs route through the Hebline proxy when no local key is set (50 free calls/day).
Example
An agent asks: "Geocode the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin"
Hebline receives:
{
"capability": "geocoding",
"input": { "query": "Brandenburger Tor, Berlin" },
"constraint": "free"
}
Hebline responds:
{
"success": true,
"data": {
"lat": 52.5163,
"lon": 13.3777,
"displayName": "Brandenburger Tor, Pariser Platz, Berlin, 10117, Deutschland"
},
"meta": {
"service": "Nominatim (OpenStreetMap)",
"costUsd": 0,
"latencyMs": 258,
"score": 0.702,
"free": true
}
}
The agent got coordinates, knows it was free, and Hebline logged the call for future analysis.

Call Logging
Every API call is logged to ~/.hebline/calls.jsonl:
{"timestamp":"2026-03-29T09:36:37Z","capability":"geocoding","serviceId":"nominatim","latencyMs":212,"success":true,"costUsd":0}
No content is logged — only metadata. This data will power Hebbian Learning in future versions.
Roadmap
- Core MCP server with stdio transport
- Weighted scoring router
- Geocoding adapters (Nominatim, Google Maps)
- Translation adapters (MyMemory, LibreTranslate, DeepL)
- BYOK key management
- Append-only call logging
- CI/CD with GitHub Actions
- Hebbian Learning — router learns from call history
- Hopfield network scoring (replaces weighted scoring)
- More categories (web scraping, currency, OCR, email)
- Community adapter system
- SSE transport for remote deployments
- Web dashboard for cost analytics
- Budget alerts and spending limits
- Multi-agent cost attribution
