UsageWall

Live LLM pricing as a tool call — six read-only tools that answer what a prompt costs and which model is cheapest, with no key.

LABSCO SUMMARY

Small enough to read, free enough to try.

Two claims make it worth adding: no auth at all, and an implementation the author puts at around 280 lines with 18 test cases — so the thing answering your cost questions is auditable in one sitting. The pricing table is hand-checked, which is its strength and its limit: verify anything you are about to base a budget on against the provider's own page.

What it is

A hosted MCP server over a hand-checked LLM pricing table. It answers cost questions directly: what a model charges, what a given prompt would cost, and which model is cheapest for a described job.

What you get

  • The model list and one model's pricing record — list_models, get_model
  • Two models compared on price — compare_models
  • The cost of a specific prompt or workload — estimate_cost
  • The cheapest model for a stated need, and the providers covered — cheapest_for, list_providers
  • The raw table as resources — usagewall://pricing/full and usagewall://pricing/<provider>
  • A public JSON pricing API and a status page alongside the MCP endpoint, for use outside a client

Requirements

Nothing installed and nothing to authorize: the server is at https://usagewall.vercel.app/api/mcp, read-only and free, spoken over JSON-RPC 2.0 on streamable HTTP. In Claude.ai it is added as a custom connector by pasting that URL; install notes for Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Zed and Cline are on the project's /mcp page. You can check it before adding it by posting a tools/list request to the endpoint with curl.

Setup effort

Add the hosted endpoint — paste it into your client
