Available tools 3

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

chat
chat_completions
Send a chat completion request to any supported model. Paid tool: x402 payment (Solana USDC) is required — the first call returns 402 with the exact price; retry with _meta["x402/payment"]. Responses are non-streaming. Pass either mode (auto/eco/premium) or model (explicit id) — one of the two is required; model wins if both are sent. Use this tool to generate text; inspect models and prices first with the free list_models tool.
models
list_models
List available models and their prices — free, no payment, no authentication required. Read-only: no state changes; data is served from the server's local config, so repeated calls return identical results (idempotent). Accepts no parameters: the input schema is an empty object, and any arguments passed are ignored. Calling it without arguments returns the complete catalog with per-token prices; there is no filtering, pagination, or configuration. Use this tool to inspect models and prices before calling the paid chat_completions tool. Same data as GET /v1/models (§5.2). Do not use it to generate text (use chat_completions) or to estimate a specific request's cost (use get_price_estimate).
price
get_price_estimate
Estimate the USDC cost of a chat completion request before paying — free, no payment, no authentication required. Read-only: no state changes and no external calls; the estimate is computed locally from server pricing config, so repeated calls with identical inputs return identical results (idempotent). Use this tool to check the exact price for a given model/mode, messages, and max_tokens before calling the paid chat_completions tool. Provide either mode (auto/eco/premium routing) or model (explicit id, mutually exclusive with mode); one of the two is required — if both are sent, model wins. mode values: auto = cheapest model fitting the context, eco = cheapest available, premium = best model.

BridgeNode MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can BridgeNode MCP do?
It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: chat_completions, get_price_estimate, list_models. 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 BridgeNode MCP working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 168 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect BridgeNode MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does BridgeNode MCP need an API key?
No. BridgeNode MCP completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is BridgeNode MCP?
It answers our handshake in 168 ms on average, which is faster than 77% 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.
How many people use BridgeNode MCP?
The npm package @bridgenode/mcp was installed 544 times in the last week. Week over week that is -46%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is BridgeNode MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT-0 licence, written in TypeScript and 1 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
