TokenZero MCP server

Which MCP servers are TokenZero's own, from the official registry and from asking its own domain, whether they answer, and what they offer. A program checked each of these, nobody copied them from a product page.

Whose server it is
  • Registry namesh.tokenzero/mcpverified in the MCP registry

The registry name sits under tokenzero.sh. The registry only lets a publisher use that namespace after proving control of the domain through DNS or HTTP.

On 2026-10-29 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 136 ms.

Should an agent connect itNot proven either way yet
  • Its tools do every use case we checked: route LLM API calls through a gateway to reduce spend; scan a codebase for uncached prompts and costly model choices.
  • Checked on 4 of the 7 days it takes to judge reliability.

Once connected

  • For "scan a codebase for uncached prompts and costly model choices", the likely first call is audit_repo_token_waste.
  • Parameters are untyped or undescribed in 3 of 6 tools: check arguments before calling.

Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

What an agent can do with it

  • can do · route LLM API calls through a gateway to reduce spend
  • not sure · make prompts cache-friendly without changing their content
  • can do · scan a codebase for uncached prompts and costly model choices

Each of the product's use cases, put to Jev against this server's tool list: can an agent do it with these tools?

Worth a look

None of the five warning signs in these definitions.

A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

  • audit_repo_token_waste

    No API key needed. Static-analyze a public GitHub repo (e.g. {"repo": "owner/name"}) or a set of source files for LLM token waste: uncached static prompts, frontier models on extraction tasks, hot loops, non-deterministic repeat calls…

  • optimize_prompt_payload

    No API key needed. Rewrite an OpenAI Chat/Responses or Anthropic Messages request body so its static prefix is provider-cacheable (Anthropic cache_control breakpoints, OpenAI prompt_cache_key). Returns the optimized body, what changed…

  • calculate_model_arbitrage

    No API key needed; only `model` is required (e.g. {"model": "gpt-6.1-sol"}, defaults 2,000 tokens in and 400 out). Price a workload at list prices across models: cost per request and per month for the requested model, its cheaper sibling…

  • provision_workspace

    Create a TokenZero workspace and key with no form. Returns the key once, the base URLs that route through it (OPENAI_BASE_URL / ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL), the one-click dashboard link and the badge URL. Free up to the monthly free tier; nothing…

  • workspace_metrics

    Live value scorecard for a TokenZero workspace: hard savings and net ROI per window, the four engines' contribution, speed, parity, availability and privacy posture, per-model breakdown and one-click recommendations. Needs the workspace…

How to connect

Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tokenzero": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.tokenzero.sh/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add it

Claude Code, in a terminal

claude mcp add --transport http tokenzero https://api.tokenzero.sh/mcp

Add to CursorAdd to VS Code

claude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://api.tokenzero.sh/mcp as a custom connector in the settings.

Also shipped through: npm

Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
