OpenRouter MCP Upgrade: Model Query Context Reduced by 96%, Claude Code Task Completion Rate Rises to 8/8

OpenRouter announced a major upgrade to MCP, allowing users to directly call 600+ models, the Decisions API, and image, speech, and video generation within agents without writing code first. The context injected by model queries has been reduced from about 1 MB (roughly 250k tokens) to 38 KB with pagination, a 96% reduction; video generation has been changed to asynchronous tasks, with results returned as links. The company says Claude Code improved from 5/8 tasks to 8/8 in its tests, @manufact gave it a score of 100/100, and it will subsequently be listed on plugin stores such as OpenAI and Anthropic.
