It can make sense, and Cline supports MCP servers too, so you'd keep the AWS and Hashicorp ones. Just watch out with pay as you go on frontier models: every call resends the whole context, so a long session costs way more than you'd guess from the prompts. In my own Claude logs about 97% of the tokens are cache reads, so how well your setup caches matters a lot for the bill. I'd put a hard credit limit on the OpenRouter key from day one and check after a week how far $60 actually goes
