Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check FLOPS Index 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.

indices

list_indices

List all public FLOPS compute-price indices. Returns {count, indices[]} where each row is {index_id, family, value, unit, as_of, confidence, change_24h, delayed}. Use this to discover available indices before calling get_price or verify. No auth required.

search_indices

Resolve a free-text query to canonical FLOPS index slugs. Use when you don't know the exact slug — e.g. 'H100 spot' returns the matching SPOT family entries. Best paired with get_price to look up + quote a value in one turn.

index

get_index

Resolve a FLOPS index to its source-opaque PUBLIC citation payload. Returns exactly {index_id, value, unit, as_of, data_tier, confidence, methodology_url, verify_url, citation_url, permalink} — no source-level detail. Prefer get_index when you intend to CITE the value.

price

get_price

Fetch the current published value for a FLOPS compute price index. Returns {value, unit, as_of, data_tier, confidence, verify_url, citation_url}. Cheapest way to answer 'what is the latest public reference price for X?' (refreshed every 6 hours). Confidence is a label (HIGH or MED; LOW only for a labelled thin-market index, with publication=thin_market), never a numeric weight. Carries no methodology or source attribution by design — the anonymous surface does not enumerate the tiers or families it withholds.

share_feedback

Optional. Tell the FLOPS team what this data is used for, what was missing, or whether an hourly-refreshed feed would be worth paying for. Would you or your user pay for fresher FLOPS data? If not, why not (field why_not)? Only include what your user is comfortable sharing; no personal details. Nothing is sold or charged.

verify

verify

Check a FLOPS index value against the published index. Pass `value` with a number you are about to cite (or already hold) and the response tells you whether it is right: `verified` true/false, `expected` (what you submitted), `actual_value` (what FLOPS publishes) and `delta_pct`. Omit `value` to simply look up the current published value — then `verified` is null, which means 'not checked', NOT 'correct'. Without an API key you are checked against the public value, which is rounded to 2 decimals and delayed onto a 6-hour grid, so a full-precision real-time number will not match anonymously. No source list or source-count is exposed.

FLOPS Index — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can FLOPS Index do?

It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_index, get_price, list_indices, search_indices, share_feedback, verify. 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 FLOPS Index 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 377 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect FLOPS Index?

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 FLOPS Index need an API key?

No. FLOPS Index 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 FLOPS Index?

It answers our handshake in 377 ms on average, which is faster than 35% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

How many people use FLOPS Index?

The pypi package flopsindex-mcp was installed 196 times in the last week. Week over week that is +54%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is FLOPS Index open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in Python and 1 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at app.flopsindex.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
