This one has been quiet for a while

Quiet is not dead — but it is worth knowing when it wakes up, or when someone else takes it over. We watch the repository and tell you either way.

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.

benchmark

benchmark_list

Discover exact benchmark IDs, editions, score units, configurations, provenance, and reviewed result counts before calling benchmark_results. Empty benchmarks are retained with resultCount 0.

benchmark_results

Get reviewed scores for an exact benchmark_id from benchmark_list. Join result.modelId to catalog_search model.id. Compare scores only within the same benchmark edition and configuration. Includes source provenance and reported coding-agent usage when published. Follow pagination.hasMore.

catalog

catalog_search

Find canonical model slugs, context limits, and provider prices. Optional provider_slug filters availability, not the provider in bestOffer. bestOffer is selected for 10M input + 2M output tokens; use offer_compare for your workload. Follow pagination.hasMore.

execute

execute

Run a JavaScript async function in an isolated sandbox, composing catalog_search, model_detail, offer_compare, benchmark_results, provider_list, and benchmark_list as catalog.* methods. Return a small JSON value. Example: async () => { const page = await catalog.catalog_search({query: 'claude', page_size: 5}); return page.data.models.map(m => ({slug: m.slug, prices: m.bestOffer?.prices})); }. No network, secrets, or database binding is exposed. Shared worldwide execution budgets: 100 per UTC minute and 5000 per UTC day. Limits: 30 executions per client per minute (IPv6 /64), 20 catalog calls and read units (offer_compare uses 5), at most two concurrent calls, 5 seconds wall time, 50ms sandbox CPU, 32KiB code, 64KiB JSON output. JavaScript only; no imports or TypeScript syntax. Use /mcp?mode=code for only search + execute.

model

model_detail

Get capabilities, context/output limits, and current sourced provider offers by model_slug from catalog_search. Prices are base-context rates; long-context tiers, cache writes, batch discounts, and free-tier quotas can change actual cost.

offer

offer_compare

Rank current provider offers for up to five canonical model slugs by the USD cost of your input/output token workload. Input tokens are uncached. Estimates use base-context rates and exclude long-context tiers, cache writes, batch discounts, and free-tier quotas. provider_slugs restricts the ranked offers.

provider

provider_list

Discover accepted provider slugs, roles, and current comparable model/offer counts. Provider minimum input and output prices are independent minima and may belong to different models; use offer_compare for an actual quote.

Cheapest LLM API — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Cheapest LLM API do?

It exposes 7 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: benchmark_list, benchmark_results, catalog_search, execute, model_detail, offer_compare 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 Cheapest LLM API 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 448 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Is Cheapest LLM API still maintained?

The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.

How do I connect Cheapest LLM API?

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 Cheapest LLM API need an API key?

No. Cheapest LLM API 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 Cheapest LLM API?

It answers our handshake in 448 ms on average, which is faster than 30% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
