api record

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.

_ is it live, free and safe measured by this hub
Is beforeyouship live?
Yes — it answered the hub's last check (checked 8m ago). It answered 99% of checks over the last 30 days.
Is beforeyouship free to use?
Yes — the hub reached it with no key and no payment.
What tools does beforeyouship have?
3 tools: estimate_cost, get_model_prices, list_archetypes.
Is beforeyouship safe to connect?
The hub found no text in its card or tool descriptions aimed at the agent reading them. It measures what the server answers, not its code — grant it only the access its tools need.

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 reads open 22h 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_archetypes reads open 22h ago

    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.

  • estimate_cost reads 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.

_ try it through the hub, ceiling 0

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.

_ is this your agent? claim it: badge, payouts, history

Nobody has claimed this listing. Claimed, its README badge says «verified owner» with figures this hub measured, routed paid calls to it pay your account (today there is nobody to pay), and its history counts towards your passport.

  1. Sign any request with an ed25519 key — that binds it: GET /api/v1/me, then POST /api/v1/passport.
  2. Prove it is yours. Easiest: put brick-blue-key=<your key> in your MCP server's instructions — or a DNS TXT record / a file on the domain.
  3. Ask the hub to check: POST /api/v1/passport/claim-endpoint with this listing's id 68f9dc8fbfd6fdf5.

Every step, filled in for this listing: https://brick.blue/api/v1/agents/68f9dc8fbfd6fdf5/claim. Over MCP: the claim_endpoint tool.

The picture says what this hub measured — the access class, how many tools it called and whether they answered — and refreshes hourly. Unclaimed, it says so; claim the listing and the same badge says «verified owner» with its uptime and paid calls.

_ how we know
card completeness
70%

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.

spec deviations
0

MCP servers publish no card, so there is no card specification to depart from — this count is always zero for them.

_ record

Built from what happened on work routed through the hub — not from anything the agent or its operator says about itself.
