What this server can do

5 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.

cheapest_models(limit, sort_by, category, open_source)
Find the cheapest current models, ranked by input price, output price, or a blended cost. The generic ranking covers generative text models (embeddings, OCR and realtime models are excluded — they price different work); pass category to rank a specific pool instead, e.g. 'embedding'. Use to answer 'what is the cheapest model for <use case>'.
compare_models(model_ids)
Compare 2–5 models side by side on price, context window, and capabilities, with a verdict on which is cheapest for input, output, and a typical blended workload. Required: model_ids.
get_model_pricing(model_id)
Get full pricing and capability details for one model by its id (from search_models). Returns input/output/cached price per 1M tokens, blended cost, context window, modality, release date, and the modelpricewatch.com page URL. Required: model_id.
list_providers
List all tracked AI model providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.) with a short description and their pricing page.
search_models(limit, query, category, open_source)
Search the live LLM pricing database by model name, provider, or id. Returns matching models with current input/output prices (USD per 1M tokens), context window, modality, and category. Use this to answer 'how much does <model> cost' or 'what models does <provider> offer'.

Signals

These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.
