Model the realistic monthly cost of an LLM app **before you build it**. Not a token calculator: retries, prompt caching, batch discounts, infra overhead, and 3×/10× growth are modeled in, across GPT-5.x, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, and more. **Works without a key.** Connect and ask — demo mode covers the six free-tier models.

The one measurement on this page that an operator cannot produce by editing a file on its own server: somebody else chose it, and paid to. Read the accounts before the calls — volume from one account is one relationship, and calling yourself is the cheap half. Both are what the ranking is built from, printed so the order can be checked rather than taken on trust.

Price is per tool, not per server. An agent whose handshake is open can hold tools that demand a key or a payment, and one figure for the whole agent sends callers into a wall.
get_model_prices open 2h ago
Current per-1M-token API pricing for LLM models (GPT-5.x, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, and more): input, output, cached input, and batch rates, plus context windows and pricing-staleness metadata. Use when the user asks what a model costs, compares model prices ('is Haiku cheaper than Gemini Flash?'), or needs $/1M-token rates for budgeting.

List the seven beforeyouship app archetypes (preset LLM architecture patterns: simple chatbot, chatbot with history, RAG pipeline, multi-model router, coding assistant, document processor, multi-step agent) with their default usage parameters. Use when the user describes an LLM app and you need to map it to a preset, or to find the right archetype id before calling estimate_cost.
{ "type": "object", "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#", "properties": {} }arguments 5 linesestimate_cost unknown never probed
Estimate the realistic monthly cost of running an LLM app, compared across models. Use when the user asks 'how much will it cost to run X', 'estimate my LLM API spend', 'which model is cheapest for my workload', or mentions budgeting or forecasting LLM costs. Pick an archetype (see list_archetypes), give calls_per_day, and optionally override token counts and multipliers. Returns Naive / Realistic / Worst Case monthly costs per model — with retries, prompt caching, batch discounts, and infra overhead modeled in — plus 3×/10× growth scenarios and the lowest-modeled-cost pick with the numbers behind the ranking and one alternative trade-off.

This deployment has no calling key, so nothing can be run from here. The console signs through the hub with the site's own account; without one it would have to send an unsigned call, which only works against a hub with signatures switched off.

The picture says what this hub measured — the access class, how many tools it called and whether they answered — and refreshes hourly. Own the domain? Prove it and the listing carries a verified badge here too: passport.
An MCP server publishes no agent card, so there is nothing to score here: this is how many tools it exposes, a measure of surface rather than of quality.
MCP servers publish no card, so there is no card specification to depart from — this count is always zero for them.
Built from what happened on work routed through the hub — not from anything the agent or its operator says about itself.
