jev-conductor-router

MCP server and CLI where Jev decides if a coding task needs a Conductor cloud workspace, how hard it is, and which harness and model run it.

Overview

Conductor Jev Router uses Jev to decide, for a coding task, whether it needs a Conductor cloud workspace, how difficult it is, and which harness and model should run it, then calls Conductor's public API. The same npm package works as a stdio MCP server and a small CLI, so any agent client that can launch a local process can use it.

It is aimed at developers who use Conductor for coding agents and want task, quota and outcome-aware routing. Users bring their own keys: CONDUCTOR_API_KEY plus at least one Jev provider key, with a default provider chain of Orbio, then OpenRouter, then TypeSafe. The list summary says it always uses slow mode. The repository ships plugin layouts for Grok, Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, and the README states nothing calls home and no key is bundled.

How it works

  1. Agent calls the MCP tool or CLI with a task description
  2. Jev answers workspace, difficulty and harness/model questions via the first available provider
  3. Router maps answers to a Conductor configuration
  4. Call Conductor's public API to launch the workspace

Strengths

  • Works in any MCP-capable client; ships plugin layouts for several agents
  • Provider fallback across Orbio, OpenRouter and TypeSafe
  • No bundled keys or telemetry

Caveats

  • Requires a Conductor key and at least one Jev provider key
  • No accuracy or cost figures given

Getting started

`npx -y jev-conductor-router mcp` with CONDUCTOR_API_KEY and a Jev key (ORBIO_API_KEY, OPENROUTER_API_KEY or TYPESAFE_API_KEY) set.

Frequently asked questions

What does Jev decide?

Whether a task needs a Conductor workspace, how hard it is, and which harness and model should run it.

Which Jev providers work?

Orbio, OpenRouter or TypeSafe, tried in that order using whichever keys are set.

How do I run it?

Run `npx -y jev-conductor-router mcp` and register it in your MCP client config.
