Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check BenchLeader every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 7

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

about

about_benchleader

What BenchLeader is, how the BenchLeader Index is computed, the current method version, data date and update cadence, coverage counts, licence and how to cite it.

benchmark

get_benchmark

One benchmark: what it measures, unit, publisher and source, whether and how much it counts in the BenchLeader Index, status and caveats, and its top models (one row per model, best result first).

benchmarks

list_benchmarks

The benchmarks BenchLeader reads: what each measures, publisher, category, whether it feeds the Index (and its weight), how many models it covers, status and caveats. Filter by category or a search query. Paged.

compare

compare_models

Head-to-head comparison of two models with BenchLeader's verdict: who leads on quality (a lead is claimed only outside the combined margin of error), price and speed ratios, category-by-category wins, when to choose each, and shared benchmark results. Links the comparison page.

leaderboard

get_leaderboard

The BenchLeader Index leaderboard of large language models: a daily composite of independent public benchmarks, one row per model (its best reasoning-effort configuration) as on the homepage. Optionally rank by one category score (coding, agentic, reasoning, math, knowledge…), list every model × effort configuration, or filter to open-weights models or one developer. Paged.

model

get_model

One model's BenchLeader profile: Index and rank, category scores, list price, speed, latency, context window, its other reasoning-effort configurations, and its strongest independent benchmark results (each with its board rank, publisher and source link).

models

search_models

Find models by name, alias, id or developer ("opus", "gemini 4", "deepseek"). Returns each match's id, rank, Index and reasoning-effort configurations, for use with get_model and compare_models.

BenchLeader — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can BenchLeader do?

It exposes 7 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: about_benchleader, compare_models, get_benchmark, get_leaderboard, get_model, list_benchmarks and 1 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is BenchLeader working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 183 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect BenchLeader?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does BenchLeader need an API key?

No. BenchLeader completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 7 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is BenchLeader?

It answers our handshake in 183 ms on average, which is faster than 75% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
