Why: the point of the Llm resource (Phase 1) is that credentials never leave
the server. This lands the proxy: clients POST OpenAI chat/completions to
mcpd, mcpd attaches the provider API key server-side, and the response
streams back as OpenAI-format SSE.
Design:
- Wire format client-side is always OpenAI chat/completions — every existing
SDK speaks it. Adapters translate on the provider side.
- `openai | vllm | deepseek | ollama` → pure passthrough (they already speak
OpenAI). `anthropic` → translator to/from Anthropic Messages API
(system-string extraction, content-block flattening, SSE event remap).
- Plain fetch; no @anthropic-ai/sdk dep. Consistent with the OpenBao driver
shape and keeps the proxy layer thin.
- `gemini-cli` intentionally rejected — subprocess providers need extra
lifecycle plumbing; deferred to a follow-up.
- Streaming: adapters yield `StreamingChunk`s; the route frames them as
`data: <json>\n\n` + terminal `data: [DONE]\n\n` so any OpenAI client
works unchanged.
RBAC:
- New URL special-case in mapUrlToPermission: `POST /api/v1/llms/:name/infer`
→ `run:llms:<name>` (not the default create:llms). Users need an explicit
`{role: 'run', resource: 'llms', [name: X]}` binding to call infer.
- Possession of `edit:llms` does NOT imply `run` — keeps catalogue
management separate from spend.
Audit: route emits an `llm_inference_call` event per request (llm name,
model, user/tokenSha, streaming, duration, status). main.ts wires it to the
structured logger for now; hook is in place for a richer audit sink later.
Tests:
- 11 adapter tests (passthrough POST shape + default URLs + no-auth ollama +
SSE forwarding; anthropic translate request/response + non-2xx wrap + SSE
event translation; registry dispatch + caching + unsupported-provider).
- 7 route tests (404, 400, non-streaming dispatch + audit, apiKey failure,
null apiKeyRef path, streaming SSE output, 502 on adapter error).
- Full suite 1830/1830 (+18 from Phase 1's 1812). TypeScript clean.
