Tools have disappeared from this server

A tool that vanishes takes a piece of your agent with it, and the change arrives silently. Watch this server and every such change lands in your inbox.

Available tools 4

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

cheapest

cheapest_models

Find the cheapest current models, ranked by input price, output price, or a blended cost. The generic ranking covers generative text models (embeddings, OCR and realtime models are excluded — they price different work); pass category to rank a specific pool instead, e.g. 'embedding'. Use to answer 'what is the cheapest model for <use case>'.

model

get_model_pricing

Get full pricing and capability details for one model by its id (from search_models). Returns input/output/cached price per 1M tokens, blended cost, context window, modality, release date, and the modelpricewatch.com page URL.

models

search_models

Search the live LLM pricing database by model name, provider, or id. Returns matching models with current input/output prices (USD per 1M tokens), context window, modality, and category. Use this to answer 'how much does <model> cost' or 'what models does <provider> offer'.

providers

list_providers

List all tracked AI model providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.) with a short description and their pricing page.

Modelpricewatch — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Modelpricewatch do?

It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: cheapest_models, get_model_pricing, list_providers, search_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 Modelpricewatch 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 74 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Did Modelpricewatch ever remove tools?

Yes. compare_models is no longer exposed — we recorded the date each one disappeared. A tool vanishing usually means a breaking change for anything that depended on it.

How do I connect Modelpricewatch?

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 Modelpricewatch need an API key?

No. Modelpricewatch completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Modelpricewatch?

It answers our handshake in 74 ms on average, which is faster than 86% 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 Modelpricewatch?

The npm package @modelpricewatch/mcp was installed 43 times in the last week. Week over week that is +60%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
