Poe API + Algolia MCP Proxy

OpenAI-compatible proxy that forwards chat completions to Poe API, and transparently executes Algolia MCP tool calls on the server side.

Converted from Deno to Node.js for deployment on Render.

Features

• OpenAI-compatible POST /v1/chat/completions
• Simulated function calling via system prompt injection
• Auto-executes Algolia MCP tools (algolia_*) and feeds results back to the model
• Non-Algolia tools are returned as standard OpenAI tool_calls for the client to run
• Streaming (stream: true) and non-streaming modes
• CORS enabled

Local development

npm install
npm start
# or with auto-reload:
npm run dev

Server listens on PORT (default 10000).

curl http://localhost:10000/healthz
curl http://localhost:10000/

Deploy to Render

Option A: Blueprint (render.yaml)

1. Push this repo to GitHub/GitLab
2. In Render Dashboard → New → Blueprint
3. Connect the repo; Render reads render.yaml

Option B: Manual Web Service

Setting	Value
Runtime	Node
Build Command	npm install
Start Command	npm start
Node Version	18+ (recommended 20)

Render injects PORT automatically — the app already reads process.env.PORT.

Environment variables (optional)

Key	Default
PORT	set by Render
POE_API_BASE_URL	https://api.poe.com/v1
ALGOLIA_MCP_URL	Algolia MCP endpoint

Poe API keys are passed per-request via Authorization: Bearer <POE_API_KEY>. You do not need to store the Poe key as a Render env var unless you want a server-side default.
