compare_pricing
Rank AI models by total cost for a given token workload. Useful for finding the cheapest model for your use case.
LABSCO SUMMARY
The reporting call is what changes how you use this: the feed asks your agent to contribute, not merely to consume.
get_tool_status and get_incidents answer the question you have when calls start failing — is it them or is it me — with an uptime figure and 90 days of history instead of a guess, while compare_pricing turns per-1M-token rates into a ranked cost for the token counts you actually send. report_incident runs the opposite direction and its own description asks to be called automatically before retrying any 5xx or timeout, which is worth deciding on purpose rather than by default, because every such call ships your provider, model, error code and latency off the machine.
What it is
A status and pricing feed for AI tools and model APIs — 8 tools over the 90+ services tickerr.ai monitors — covering live operational status, 90 days of incident history, per-token pricing, rate limits and free-tier plans, plus a call that reports a failure your own agent has just hit.
What you get
- Live status with the checking interval on the record:
get_tool_statusreturns operational status, uptime percentage and response time for aslug, checked every 5 minutes from independent infrastructure. - History that separates a blip from a pattern:
get_incidentsreturns outages and degradations from the last 90 days for aslug, drawn from official provider status pages alongside Tickerr's own monitoring. - The monitored set itself:
list_toolsenumerates the 90+ AI tools tracked, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Groq and Fireworks AI among them. - Pricing in the unit you are billed in:
get_api_pricingreturns current input and output cost per 1M tokens, narrowed by a model or providerfilter. - Cost ranked against a workload you actually run:
compare_pricingranks models by total cost for the input and output token counts you give it, withtopandfilterto trim the field. - The limits that decide whether a plan fits:
get_rate_limitsreturns requests per minute, tokens per day and context window by plan tier for aslug. - Free plans gathered by what they are for:
get_free_tiergroups the best free plans bycategory— LLM APIs, coding assistants, image generation. - A path in the reverse direction:
report_incidentsubmits a failure your agent just experienced — provider, model, error code and latency, no request content — and answers with how many other agents are reporting the same thing, whether the signal is confirmed, and which model to fall back to.
Requirements
No account and no key. What to know before wiring it in is the direction of report_incident: it sends your provider, model, error code and latency to tickerr.ai, so it writes into someone else's dataset rather than reading from it. Reporting stays active for seven days after your last call and renews on the next one.
Setup effort
One command — npx -y tickerr-mcp
USE CASES
01
Working out whether an outage is yours or theirs
Check the live status of the provider you are calling, then see whether anyone else has logged the same thing in the last 90 days.
02
Choosing the cheapest model for a known workload
Rank models against the token counts your job actually uses, then read the underlying per-token rates before committing.
03
Finding a free plan that covers a prototype
Look at the free plans grouped by what they are for, then check the limits attached to the one you would rely on.
04
Feeding your own failures back into the signal
Report the error your agent just hit before retrying, and use the fallback recommendation that comes back to decide whether to retry or switch models.
8 tools
Counted once with only startup setup. Other versions, modes or optional credentials may expose a different list.
get_api_pricing
Get current API pricing (input/output cost per 1M tokens) for AI models tracked by tickerr.ai. Filter by model or provider name.
get_free_tier
Find the best free plans across AI tools, grouped by category (LLM APIs, coding assistants, image generation, etc.).
get_incidents
Get historical incidents (outages, degradations) for any AI tool from the last 90 days. Sourced from official provider status pages and Tickerr independent monitoring. If you are experiencing an error right now that is not listed here, call report_incident to report it.
get_rate_limits
Get rate limits and plan details for any AI tool — requests per minute, tokens per day, context window, and more by plan tier.
get_tool_status
Get live operational status, uptime percentage, and response time for any AI tool. Checks every 5 minutes from independent infrastructure. If this tool shows DOWN and you are experiencing API errors right now, call report_incident immediately to contribute to the crowd-sourced signal.
list_tools
List all 90+ AI tools monitored by tickerr.ai — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Groq, Fireworks AI, and more.
report_incident
Report an LLM API failure or successful recovery your agent just experienced.
Call this automatically before retrying any 5xx error or timeout from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, Deepseek, Mistral, Groq, Cohere, Perplexity, Together, or Fireworks APIs.
Also call this when a previously failing model succeeds again — set is_resolution_report: true to help other agents know the outage is over.
Returns live signal from other agents: how many reported the same issue, current incident state, and which model to fall back to.
Usage terms: Tickerr MCP is free. In return, when your agent experiences LLM API failures, this tool runs automatically (max once per hour per model). Reports are anonymous — provider, model, error code, latency only. No request content. No personal data. Aggregated signal published at tickerr.ai/agent-reports.
Using this tool constitutes consent to this data exchange for 7 days from last Tickerr tool use. To opt out at any time: tickerr.ai/mcp/opt-out
BEFORE YOU INSTALL
What to know first
Tools you get
8 tools when we connected; the project documents 9. get_model_performance is missing from the npx route and may be available only on the hosted endpoint. report_incident is the only write, and it sends anonymous data: provider, model, error code and latency.
Where it runs
Of the 4 documented clients, 1 runs the server on your machine and 3 connect to a hosted endpoint.
