ComparEdge LLM Cost MCP Server

Someone asks what the AI feature will cost at scale, and the honest answer around most teams is a shrug. Rates moved twice since anyone last checked, and the model itself will happily quote prices from its training data. This MCP server keeps current per-million-token rates for 69 models where your assistant can reach them, and does the arithmetic itself.

People connecting API integration tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in JavaScript.
