Frosty Gateway

A self-hosted gateway for all your LLM traffic. Routing, budgets, caching, and MCP tools behind one OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

What it is

Frosty Gateway is one self-hosted gateway for all your LLM traffic. Every application in your organization talks to a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint; behind it, Frosty routes requests to the right provider, enforces budgets and rate limits, caches what can be cached, and gives operators a control plane to see and govern all of it.

Once a company uses AI in more than one place, the questions arrive fast. Who is spending what? Which team is using which model? What happens when a provider goes down or a key leaks? Frosty answers those questions in one place instead of five. Virtual keys and a team hierarchy map spend to the people responsible for it, a pricing catalog turns token counts into money, and budgets stop surprises before the invoice does.

Because it is self-hosted, all of this runs on your infrastructure. Your prompts, your usage data, and your keys never route through a third-party SaaS.

Who it is for

Platform and IT teams governing multi-provider LLM usage across an organization, and anyone who wants a single, accountable front door for AI traffic.

What it does

Virtual keys and team hierarchy.

Per-team and per-key budgets, rate limits, and spend attribution.

Two-layer response cache.

Exact-match and semantic caching backed by pgvector, cutting cost and latency on repeated questions.

Operator control plane.

A same-origin React UI for keys, teams, budgets, and traffic.

Under the hood

A single Deno 2 process combining the inference gateway, the control plane, and the MCP client and server surfaces, with durable state in PostgreSQL. Currently pre-1.0, and unusually honest about its performance: v0.9.0 ships a measured benchmark report with a documented methodology of 3,000 requests per wave and preserved historical results.

Interested?

If your LLM usage is growing faster than your visibility into it, a gateway is the fix, and we can run it on your terms.
