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.

card
get_card_checkout_link
Card payments require a browser (3-D Secure). Returns the dashboard page for the pool where a human can complete checkout. Card subscriptions auto-renew monthly until cancelled.
confirm
confirm_crypto_subscription
After sending the quoted USDC amount on Base, submit the transaction hash plus an EIP-191 signature of the claim message (from get_crypto_quote) made with the paying wallet. Verifies the payment on-chain and returns your API key. Idempotent: safe to retry with the same tx_hash.
connection
get_connection_info
OpenAI-compatible and Anthropic base URLs plus ready-to-paste client snippets. Works with or without a key (keyless: explains subscribe and x402 pay-per-request options).
crypto
get_crypto_quote
Quote for subscribing to a pool with USDC on Base: exact amount, payment address, and the claim message you must sign after paying. Crypto subscriptions are one-time 30 days (no auto-renewal).
pool
get_pool
One pool in detail: models, per-block prices, availability, and what the subscription includes.
pools
list_pools
All active Unlimited pools: models served, per-block USDC price for 30 days, coarse availability. Blocks are 8h daily windows (UTC); reserving all blocks = 24/7. No auth required.
subscription
get_subscription_status
Status of a pool subscription key: pool, reserved daily blocks, expiry, renewal semantics.

Cheapestinference — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Cheapestinference do?
It exposes 7 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: confirm_crypto_subscription, get_card_checkout_link, get_connection_info, get_crypto_quote, get_pool, get_subscription_status 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 Cheapestinference working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 89 of 91 checks got a reply (97.8%), average response time 346 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Cheapestinference?
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 Cheapestinference need an API key?
No. Cheapestinference 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 Cheapestinference?
It answers our handshake in 346 ms on average, which is faster than 47% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
