Problem
When reviewing LLM provider activity (e.g. OpenRouter dashboard), the "App" column shows "Unknown" for all calls from mcp-agent-server. This makes it impossible to:
- Group calls that belong to the same user request
- Distinguish which agent made which call
- Analyze cost per conversation/session

Proposal
The mcp-agent-server should send identifying metadata with each LLM call so providers can display it in their dashboards:
1. App Name
Send a static app identifier (e.g. X-Title header for OpenRouter) so calls show up as "Anschluss Mobility" instead of "Unknown".
2. Session/Request ID
Send a unique session or request ID with each call so all sub-agent calls from one user question can be grouped together. For example:
- User asks: "How do I get from the station to my office?"
- Main Agent call →
session: req-abc123
- Bahnhof Agent call →
session: req-abc123
- Weather Agent call →
session: req-abc123
- Navigator Agent call →
session: req-abc123
All 4 calls would be grouped under req-abc123 in the provider dashboard.
3. Agent Name
Include the agent name (e.g. ticketkauf, radparken) so you can see which specialist made the call.
Implementation Ideas
OpenRouter supports these headers:
X-Title — App name shown in dashboard
HTTP-Referer — Can be used for grouping
A possible approach:
- Generate a
sessionId per incoming user request in the server
- Pass it through to all sub-agent LLM calls
- Set
X-Title to {appName}/{agentName}
Context
Discovered during cost analysis of the "Anschluss erreichen" Hackathon (March 2026). 251 calls, $4.22 total — but impossible to tell which calls belonged to which user question.
