Overview
PAL is a Python MCP server that exposes tools such as chat, thinkdeep, planner, consensus, codereview, precommit and debug to a host CLI or IDE, and routes each call to a chosen model from Gemini, OpenAI, Azure, X.AI, OpenRouter, DIAL or Ollama. It keeps conversation threads across tools and models, and its clink tool launches other CLIs (Gemini CLI, Codex, Claude Code) as subagents with role prompts.
Who it is for: Developers using Claude Code, Codex or Cursor who want multi-model input
Strengths
- Works with many hosts: Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, Qwen CLI, Cursor
- Supports Gemini, OpenAI, Azure, X.AI, OpenRouter, DIAL and local Ollama models
- Conversation threading carries context across models and after host context resets
- clink spawns other CLIs as isolated subagents with roles like planner and codereviewer
Weaknesses
- Needs at least one provider API key or a local Ollama setup
- Each enabled tool adds to the context window; six tools are disabled by default
- License is reported as NOASSERTION, so terms need manual checking
- Last commit was 2025-12-15, so recent model releases may lack support
What it needs
- GPU optional
- Docker + Compose
- Needs Python 3.10+, Git, uv, Provider API key (Gemini, OpenAI, OpenRouter, Azure, X.AI, DIAL) or Ollama
- Models: Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic, Grok, Azure OpenAI
