Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Inferenceindexer 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 10

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

composite

get_composite_history

Get SIT-Composite index history / trend over time. Args: days: History window in days (1-90, default 30). Returns: historical composite index values.

get_composite_latest

Get the current SIT-Composite index value + per-tier breakdown. The SIT-Composite is a usage-weighted mean of the top-50 models by token volume, reflecting what developers actually pay for inference.

model

get_model

Get full detail + current pricing for one model by its id. Args: model_id: Canonical model id, e.g. 'openai/gpt-5.6' or 'anthropic/claude-sonnet-5'. Returns: pricing, tier, SIT score, quality-adjusted price (Cost/IQ).

get_model_history

Get HISTORICAL price data / trends for one model. This is InferenceIndexer's differentiator: aggregators like OpenRouter expose only current price; this returns the price over time (input, output, blended $/M), enabling trend analysis. Args: model_id: Canonical model id, e.g. 'openai/gpt-5.6'. days: History window in days (1-365, default 30; plan-dependent). Returns: historical price series for the model.

compare

compare_providers

Compare the price of one model across the providers that host it. Args: model_id: Canonical model id, e.g. 'meta/muse-spark-1.1'. Returns: per-provider endpoints with pricing, showing where direct provider prices diverge (e.g. from OpenRouter's negotiated rate).

explain

explain_model

Get everything about one model in a single call: the full picture. Returns current pricing (input/output/blended, Cost/IQ, 24h/7d changes), a price-history summary with trend, all provider endpoints, the cheapest hand-verified endpoint with its native model id (for hot-swapping), privacy flags (ZDR/EU availability), and the AA intelligence score. Everything is as-of stamped. Args: model_id: Canonical model id, e.g. 'anthropic/claude-sonnet-5'. history_days: Price-history window (default 30, max 365). Returns: complete model profile with pricing, endpoints, privacy, quality.

models

search_models

Search and list AI inference models with current pricing. Args: query: Text search on model id/name (optional). tier: Filter by tier: frontier | standard | budget | micro (optional). limit: Max results (1-100, default 25). sort: Sort key: blended | input | output | sit_score | sit_adjusted_price (default sit_adjusted_price). Returns: models with input/output/blended $/M pricing, provider, tier.

provider

get_provider

Get detail for one provider: models, tier breakdown, price range. Args: provider_name: Provider name, e.g. 'DeepInfra', 'Novita', 'Venice'. Returns: provider detail with model list and pricing.

providers

list_providers

List all inference providers with model counts and price stats.

recommend

recommend_models

Recommend the best-value AI models for given constraints, ranked with receipts. The core answer endpoint: give it constraints and it returns the top models ranked by Cost/IQ (quality-adjusted price, lower is better), each with a plain-English 'why', a hot-swap endpoint_config (provider base_url + native model id, ready to call), as-of timestamps, and runner-ups. Args: budget_max_usd_per_m: Max blended price $/M (optional). context_min: Minimum context window in tokens (optional). modality: 'text' (default), 'vision', or 'any'. zdr: Require zero-data-retention providers (optional). eu_sovereign: Require EU-sovereign providers (optional). reasoning: Filter reasoning models (null = any, true/false). aa_min: Hard floor on the AA Intelligence Index score (quality gate). use_case: Task profile: support | volume | extraction | summarization | coding | research. prefer_callable: Demote models without a verified call recipe below callable ones. limit: Max recommendations (1-20, default 5). Returns: ranked recommendations with endpoint_config and ranking evidence.

Inferenceindexer MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Inferenceindexer MCP do?

It exposes 10 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: compare_providers, explain_model, get_composite_history, get_composite_latest, get_model, get_model_history and 4 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 →

What is Inferenceindexer MCP mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around composite and model. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is Inferenceindexer MCP 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 200 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Inferenceindexer MCP?

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 Inferenceindexer MCP need an API key?

No. Inferenceindexer MCP completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 10 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Inferenceindexer MCP?

It answers our handshake in 200 ms on average, which is faster than 78% 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 Inferenceindexer MCP?

The pypi package inferenceindexer-mcp was installed 131 times in the last week. Week over week that is +10%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Inferenceindexer MCP open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at api.inferenceindexer.ai, which runs on its operator's own terms.
