Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Usage Lab 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 6

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

meter

create_meter

Create a meter once (POST /api/v1/meters). aggregation: sum (add up value, e.g. tokens), count (number of events, e.g. tool calls) or unique_count (distinct unique_value, e.g. active users). Re-creating an existing key returns meter_exists (harmless). Free plan: 3 meters. Needs your API key.

get_meter_rollups

Monthly totals per customer for one meter, recomputed from raw events (GET /api/v1/meters/{meter}/rollups). Returns total_quantity and per-subscription quantity and event_count. Needs your API key.

account

get_account

Your account: plan, event and meter limits, event_count and first_event_at (GET /api/v1/account). Needs your API key.

docs

get_docs

Quickstart for the Usage Lab metering API and this MCP server: how to get a free API key, connect, create a meter, record idempotent usage events and read rollups. No API key needed.

meters

list_meters

List the meters on your Usage Lab account (key, name, aggregation sum | count | unique_count). Needs your API key (Authorization: Bearer).

record

record_usage_events

Record 1-100 usage events in one all-or-nothing batch (POST /api/v1/usage). Every event MUST carry its own idempotency_key; retrying with the same keys is safe (results say created / duplicate / conflict). Needs your API key.

Usage Lab — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Usage Lab do?

It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: create_meter, get_account, get_docs, get_meter_rollups, list_meters, record_usage_events. 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 Usage Lab working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 23 of 23 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 50 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Usage Lab?

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 Usage Lab need an API key?

No. Usage Lab completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Usage Lab?

It answers our handshake in 50 ms on average, which is faster than 99% 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.
