About PAL MCP (formerly Zen MCP)

PAL MCP, formerly Zen MCP, is a provider abstraction layer delivered as an MCP server. From a single coding-agent session it brings in Gemini, OpenAI, Grok, Azure, Ollama, OpenRouter or custom models for consensus, code review, planning and debugging workflows. Its clink tool launches other AI CLIs as isolated subagents that return only their final results, keeping the main session's context clean.

PAL MCP (formerly Zen MCP) is an open-source project written primarily in Python, with 12k stars on GitHub. It was last updated in December 2025.
