Set OPENROUTER_API_KEY before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add stabgan-openrouter-mcp-multimodal -- npx -y @stabgan/openrouter-mcp-multimodal

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stabgan-openrouter-mcp-multimodal": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@stabgan/openrouter-mcp-multimodal"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.
