SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Developers often need a second opinion on code reviews, architecture decisions, or debugging problems without leaving their editor. This MCP server connects Claude Desktop or Cursor to OpenRouter's model ecosystem so agents can request structured expert guidance, cache past answers, and enrich questions with relevant context automatically. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Expert Consultation Tool: The ask_expert tool accepts a question, code snippet, domain, and difficulty level, then returns guidance, code diffs, alternatives, and a confidence score. - Wisdom Cache: The search_wisdom tool persists previously answered questions in a local SQLite database so recurring problems are answered instantly without new API calls. - Context Enrichment: The enrich_context tool appends relevant documentation and patterns to a code snippet before consultation. - Use Case: A developer debugging an async race condition pastes the function into Claude Desktop; the agent enriches the snippet, routes it to a backend-specialized model via OpenRouter, and returns a corrected implementation with explanations of optimistic locking and transaction patterns. ## Quick Start Install the server, add your OpenRouter API key to the Claude Desktop MCP config, then ask Claude to consult an expert about a code problem you are stuck on.

Frequently Asked Questions about ask-expert-consult-mcp-wisdom-cascade

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up an MCP server in Claude Desktop?▼

Add the server entry to claude_desktop_config.json under mcpServers with the command, absolute path to the server script, and environment variables such as your OpenRouter API key. Restart Claude Desktop completely to load the new server.

How do I get AI code review through OpenRouter models?▼

Call the ask_expert tool with your question, code snippet, domain, and difficulty level. The server routes the request to a domain-appropriate OpenRouter model and returns structured guidance with code diffs, alternatives, and a confidence score.

Does ask-expert-consult-mcp work with Cursor IDE?▼

Yes, it supports Cursor through the .cursor/mcp.json settings file using the same command and environment variable structure as Claude Desktop. Any MCP-compatible client can invoke its tools.

Why is my MCP server not appearing in Claude Desktop?▼

The most common causes are relative instead of absolute paths in the config, an invalid OpenRouter API key, or Claude Desktop not being fully restarted. Check the MCP logs in ~/Library/Logs/Claude/ on macOS for specific errors.

What are the limitations of the wisdom cache?▼

The cache is a local SQLite database whose path must be writable and have sufficient disk space. Entries expire after the configured CACHE_TTL_DAYS, and cached answers may become stale as libraries and best practices evolve.
