@modelpricewatch/mcp
MCP server for live LLM API pricing — current input/output token prices, side-by-side comparisons, and cheapest-model lookups for 150+ models across 20+ providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, xAI, DeepSeek, …), re-verified against official provider pricing pages by modelpricewatch.com.
Unlike MCP servers that bake a pricing snapshot into each release, this one is a thin bridge to a live API — prices are never stale between package releases, and every price links back to the provider's official pricing page.
