One account.
Three ways to manage it.
Use the dashboard for a visual view, zctl for repeatable commands, or MCP to work with your AI assistant.
Automate it with zctl
Create and edit virtual routers, manage keys, and review usage from your terminal. JSON output and router exports make account tasks easier to repeat in scripts.
Install the zctl CLI ↗Ask your agent through MCP
Connect Claude Code, Cursor, or another compatible MCP client. Ask about usage, investigate errors, and manage routers, API keys, and enabled account limits.
Connect an MCP client ↗CLI and MCP management access is limited to your account. Connecting MCP does not change your agent's inference provider. See each tool's integration guide for model-request support.
