How to Set Up and Use Pal
PAL unifies Claude Code, GeminiCLI, and CodexCLI with multiple AI models (Gemini, OpenAI, OpenRouter, Azure, Grok, Ollama, or custom) in one integrated system. Switch seamlessly between different LLM providers and models for flexible multi-model AI development.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+ installed
- An MCP client such as Claude Desktop or Cursor
- API keys for the LLM providers you plan to use (OpenAI, Gemini, etc.)
- At least one AI coding tool installed (Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex)
Clone PAL repository
Get the PAL multi-model AI integration server.
git clone https://github.com/BeehiveInnovations/pal-mcp-server
cd pal-mcp-server
npm installConfigure provider credentials
Set up API keys for all AI providers you want to use (OpenAI, Gemini, OpenRouter, Azure, Grok, Ollama, etc.).
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-key
export GOOGLE_API_KEY=your-gemini-key
export OPENROUTER_API_KEY=your-openrouter-keyBuild the PAL server
Compile the multi-model AI integration server.
npm run buildConfigure MCP client
Add PAL to your Claude Desktop or Cursor configuration.
Restart your MCP client
Close and reopen Claude Desktop to activate PAL integration.
Test model switching
Ask Claude to use different AI models through PAL to verify multi-provider setup works.

Use these prompts to leverage multiple AI models through PAL.
"Use Gemini 2.0 to analyze this code with extended context"
"Compare solutions from Claude 3.5 and GPT-4 for this problem"
"Run this task on Grok using the xAI endpoint"
"Switch to a local Ollama model for this privacy-sensitive task"Troubleshooting Pal
API keys not recognized
Verify all environment variable names are correct (OPENAI_API_KEY, GOOGLE_API_KEY, etc.). Ensure keys are valid and active in their respective platforms. Restart the MCP server after updating credentials.
Cannot switch between models
Verify all provider APIs are accessible. Check that your API keys have the necessary permissions. Test each provider independently first before attempting to switch.
PAL server fails to build
Run npm install again to resolve dependencies. Check Node.js version with node --version (must be 18+). Clear npm cache with npm cache clean --force if issues persist.
