About Grill
Grill is an MCP server published by the GitHub account mtangoz. A second opinion from an unrelated AI model before you commit to a decision.
It runs on your own machine: your AI client starts it from the MCP bundle package https://github.com/mtangoz/grill/releases/download/v0.1.0/grill.mcpb at version 0.1.0.
It asks for one secret: GRILL_API_KEY. Give it a key with the least access that still works.
Version 0.1.0 was published on 27 September 2026, and the source code is public, so you can read it before installing.
Written from the registry entry. 8 automated checks on the registry entry and the package code: 6 pass, 0 warn, 0 fail, 2 info. How we check.
What it asks for
| Variable | Required | Secret | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
GRILL_API_KEY | No | Yes | OpenRouter key. The server lists its tools without one. A grill needs it. |
