Adds new AI providers to claude-council, configures provider API settings, troubleshoots provider connections, and documents the provider script interface. Covers creating provider shell scripts, setting API keys, and validating connectivity. Triggers on "add provider", "new AI agent", "provider not working", "API configuration", or "extend council".
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Adding AI Providers to Claude Council
## Provider Script Interface
Each provider is a shell script in `scripts/providers/` that:
1. Accepts a prompt as the first argument
2. Outputs the AI response to stdout
3. Exits 0 on success, non-zero on failure
## Quick Start
1. Create `scripts/providers/{name}.sh` (see `api-patterns.md` for templates)
2. `chmod +x scripts/providers/{name}.sh`
3. Set `{NAME}_API_KEY` environment variable
4. Test: `./scripts/providers/{name}.sh "Hello"`
## Current Providers
| Provider | API Key Variable | Default Model |
|----------|------------------|---------------|
| Gemini | `GEMINI_API_KEY` | gemini-flash-latest |
| OpenAI | `OPENAI_API_KEY` | gpt-6-astra |
| Grok | `XAI_API_KEY` (or `GROK_API_KEY`) | grok-latest |
| Perplexity | `PERPLEXITY_API_KEY` | low (Agent API preset) |
| Kimi | `KIMI_API_KEY` | kimi-k3 |
| Ollama | none (local) | first model `ollama list` shows |
| OpenRouter | `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` | anthropic/claude-fable-5.1 (or one seat per `OPENROUTER_MODELS` entry) |

How to install
mdr add hex/claude-council/provider-integration@sha256:b6046ceee09fe93aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.9aa258b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
