Today is the operative word: we check BridgeNode MCP 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 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. Free models are served without payment; the first calls to a PAID model are also free per client (free trials), after which x402 payment (Solana USDC) is required — an unpaid 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. Start with a FREE model (no payment at all) and keep max_tokens >= 200 — a thinking model spends part of that budget on reasoning, so a smaller limit can return an empty answer.
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 150 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 150 ms on average, which is faster than 74% of all working MCP servers we measure. 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 466 times in the last week. Week over week that is +467%. 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?
No, and the distinction matters: its licence is declared as MIT-0. That makes it source-available — you can read the code, but the terms are the author's own, not one of the recognised open-source licences. Read them before you build on it.
