Claude Code: deny. ### `delete_budget_alert` - The name "delete_budget_alert" says "delete": a word for removing or ending something. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Delete a registered budget-spend alert by its ID. ``` ### `delete_conversation` - The name "delete_conversation" says "delete": a word for removing or ending something. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Delete a specific chat conversation by its ID. Use when the user asks to delete, clear, or remove a past conversation. Use list_conversations first to find the conversation ID. ``` ### `delete_price_alert` - The name "delete_price_alert" says "delete": a word for removing or ending something. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Delete a registered price-change alert by its ID. ``` ## Changes things (11) Creates or changes something that can be changed back. Claude Code: ask. ### `ask_agent` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Ask the LLM Pricing AI agent a question in natural language. Use for complex queries about pricing, model recommendations, cost optimisation advice, or anything that benefits from multi-step reasoning. ``` ### `check_price_drift` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Audit this server's own pricing data against an external reference registry. Prices here are hand-maintained and go stale silently; a price that disagrees with the registry by more than the threshold is automatically withheld from serving the moment it's detected, not just when this tool runs. This reports what's currently withheld and why. The price value itself is never overwritten by the registry. Use when the user asks whether the pricing data is accurate or up to date, or wants to audit a specific provider's rates. ``` ### `estimate_cost` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Estimate the cost of using a specific LLM model ``` ### `get_pricing_export_url` - The name "get_pricing_export_url" says "get": a word for reading. - The description's first verb is "generate": a word for a change. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Generate a download URL for the pricing history export. Returns a URL the user can open in their browser to download snapshot history as CSV (for spreadsheets) or JSON (for code). Use this when the user asks to export, download, or save pricing data. ``` ### `import_session_usage` - The name "import_session_usage" says "import": a word for a change. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Bulk-import a completed session's usage in a single call — the retroactive counterpart to record_usage, for when a session wasn't instrumented live. Use when a calling agent (e.g. VS Code Copilot Chat) already has a session's turn-by-turn history in its own local store and wants this server to report on it exactly as if it had been tracked live. Accepts a list of entries under one shared session_id; each entry resolves its input and output tokens independently, either from exact counts when known or by estimating from raw turn text using this server's existing token counter. Cost is always computed server-side from current pricing, never trusted from the caller. A malformed entry (no usable tokens/text on one side, or an unresolvable model_name) is reported as its own per-entry failure and does not fail the rest of the batch. Idempotent like record_usage — resubmitting the same entries (same request_id, or the same session_id/model/occurred_at/token-or-text when request_id is omitted) is a no-op. Recorded usage is then readable via analyze_session_usage and GET /usage/session/{session_id}. ``` ### `optimize_workload` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Optimise a multi-task LLM workload by assigning the cheapest qualifying model to each task instead of running everything through one model. Takes a list of workloads (task type + monthly volume + optional quality floor and capability requirements) and returns a per-task model allocation, the total monthly cost, and the saving versus the best single-model deployment. If a monthly budget is given, leftover headroom is spent on the most cost-efficient quality upgrades. Use when the user asks how to cut LLM spend across several task types, or whether tiered model routing is worth it. ``` ### `predict_cost` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Predict the real cost of an LLM call from your actual prompt text — no need to know token counts in advance. Counts tokens locally, infers the task type (or accepts one explicitly), estimates output length from empirical I/O profiles, and returns all models ranked cheapest-first with effective cost after prompt-cache savings. Also surfaces the best quality-per-dollar pick. Use this before making any LLM API call to avoid surprise bills. ``` ### `recommend_model` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Recommend the optimal LLM model from a free-text description of your use case — no need to already know the routing engine's task_type vocabulary. Classifies the description into a task type, then runs it through the same routing engine behind /router/recommend (live pricing + benchmark quality, hard filters for cost/quality/context window, scored by quality-per-dollar). Returns the best match plus up to 3 alternatives. Read-only — use predict_cost first if you also want per-model cost estimates for an actual prompt, and optimize_workload if you have several distinct task types to route at once. ``` ### `record_usage` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Record actual token usage for a completed LLM call. Cost is computed server-side from current pricing, never trusted from the caller — this is the 'actual spend' counterpart to estimate_cost's hypothetical numbers. Optionally scope to an org_id for per-org spend tracking. Resubmitting the same request_id for the same org is a no-op. Use when the user wants to log or track real LLM spend, not just estimate it. ``` ### `register_budget_alert` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Register a webhook URL to receive notifications when actual recorded spend (from record_usage) crosses a USD threshold within a rolling window. Optionally scope to a specific org_id (omit for total spend across all orgs). Fires at most once per period_days while spend stays over threshold. Returns the alert ID. ``` ### `register_price_alert` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Register a webhook URL to receive notifications when a model's price changes by more than a specified percentage. Optionally scope the alert to a specific provider or model. Returns the alert ID. ``` ## Only reads (15) Looks things up and changes nothing. Claude Code: allow. ### `analyze_session_usage` - The name "analyze_session_usage" says "analyze": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Analyze one specific session's actual recorded LLM usage (tagged via record_usage's session_id) on demand: total input/output tokens, total actual cost, and a per-model breakdown if more than one model was used. Also runs the session's own observed token pattern through the same routing engine behind recommend_model / POST /router/recommend to produce a grounded recommendation — or confirm the current choice is already optimal — with the estimated dollar savings or increase versus this session's actual cost. Returns has_data: false with no recommendation if the session_id has no recorded usage. Advisory only — never switches or reroutes anything. ``` ### `compare_costs` - The name "compare_costs" says "compare": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Compare costs for multiple LLM models ``` ### `get_all_pricing` - The name "get_all_pricing" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Get current pricing for all LLM models from all providers ``` ### `get_cache_stats` - The name "get_cache_stats" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Report process-lifetime hit/miss counts, total lookups, and hit rate for the ~5-minute recommendation cache, separately for the recommend_model tool and POST /router/recommend (never combined). Server-operations introspection for confirming the cache is reducing recomputation in production, not a pricing question. Counts reset on process restart; reading them never changes them. ``` ### `get_data_quality` - The name "get_data_quality" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Report an aggregate accuracy summary for the pricing catalogue: what percentage of models have a confirmed, fresh price, how many are currently withheld due to price drift, how many are newly discovered and not yet priced, and how many confirmed prices are over 90 days old. A single trust signal, distinct from check_price_drift which lists individual disputes. Use when the user asks how accurate or trustworthy the pricing data is, overall. ``` ### `get_ide_pricing` - The name "get_ide_pricing" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Get subscription pricing for AI coding IDE tools: GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude.ai, JetBrains AI, Amazon Q Developer, and Tabnine. Returns monthly subscription cost, inline completion support, context window, and per-tool strengths. Use this when the user asks to compare IDE AI tools, subscription-based coding assistants, or wants to know which IDE AI fits their budget. ``` ### `get_performance_metrics` - The name "get_performance_metrics" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Get performance metrics (throughput, latency, context window) for models ``` ### `get_pricing_history` - The name "get_pricing_history" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Query historical pricing snapshots recorded over time. Use this to look up past prices for a model or provider, or to see how prices have changed over a given number of days. ``` ### `get_pricing_trends` - The name "get_pricing_trends" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Find models whose prices changed the most over a given period. Returns models sorted by absolute percentage price change with a direction label ('increased', 'decreased', or 'unchanged'). Use this to answer questions like 'which models got cheaper this month?' or 'which providers raised prices recently?' ``` ### `get_telemetry` - The name "get_telemetry" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Get MCP server telemetry and usage statistics including tool usage, response times, and error rates ``` ### `get_usage_summary` - The name "get_usage_summary" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Get a summary of actual recorded LLM spend: total cost, request count, and breakdowns by model and provider, from usage events previously logged via record_usage. Use when the user asks what they've actually spent, as opposed to a hypothetical cost estimate. ``` ### `get_use_cases` - The name "get_use_cases" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Get recommended use cases and strengths for LLM models ``` ### `list_budget_alerts` - The name "list_budget_alerts" says "list": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text List all registered budget-spend webhook alerts with their IDs and settings. ``` ### `list_conversations` - The name "list_conversations" says "list": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text List stored chat conversation sessions with their IDs, last-updated timestamp, turn count, and a preview of the most recent user message. Use this when the user asks to see their past conversations or chat history. ``` ### `list_price_alerts` - The name "list_price_alerts" says "list": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text List all registered price-change webhook alerts with their IDs and settings. ``` ## Claude Code permissions For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `llm-pricing`: ```json { "permissions": { "allow": [ "mcp__llm-pricing__get_all_pricing", "mcp__llm-pricing__compare_costs", "mcp__llm-pricing__get_performance_metrics", "mcp__llm-pricing__get_use_cases", "mcp__llm-pricing__get_telemetry", "mcp__llm-pricing__get_pricing_history", "mcp__llm-pricing__get_pricing_trends", "mcp__llm-pricing__list_price_alerts", "mcp__llm-pricing__list_conversations", "mcp__llm-pricing__get_ide_pricing", "mcp__llm-pricing__get_data_quality", "mcp__llm-pricing__get_cache_stats", "mcp__llm-pricing__get_usage_summary", "mcp__llm-pricing__analyze_session_usage", "mcp__llm-pricing__list_budget_alerts" ], "ask": [ "mcp__llm-pricing__estimate_cost", "mcp__llm-pricing__register_price_alert", "mcp__llm-pricing__get_pricing_export_url", "mcp__llm-pricing__predict_cost", "mcp__llm-pricing__optimize_workload", "mcp__llm-pricing__recommend_model", "mcp__llm-pricing__check_price_drift", "mcp__llm-pricing__record_usage", "mcp__llm-pricing__import_session_usage", "mcp__llm-pricing__register_budget_alert", "mcp__llm-pricing__ask_agent" ], "deny": [ "mcp__llm-pricing__delete_price_alert", "mcp__llm-pricing__delete_conversation", "mcp__llm-pricing__delete_budget_alert" ] } } ```
