Model Context ProtocolCloudPrice MCP server

Cloud and AI pricing, inside your AI agent

Add one URL and Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code, Codex or VS Code becomes a pricing assistant: live prices and specs for 1000+ AI models, usage cost estimates, benchmarks, and Azure, AWS and GCP instance lookups, all as read-only tools over the Model Context Protocol. The Free URL needs no sign-in; the Subscribed URL runs the same tools with your CloudPrice subscription.

Add it to your client

No sign-in. Free-tier data: on-demand and spot prices, the first regions.

MCP server URL
https://cloudprice.net/api/mcp/data-free
  1. In claude.ai or Claude Desktop open Settings, Connectors, then Add custom connector.
  2. Name it CloudPrice, paste the server URL and leave the OAuth fields empty: the server needs no authentication.
  3. Ask for a price, e.g. What does 1M input and 200K output tokens cost on Claude Opus 5 vs GPT-5.5?

Things to ask

The agent picks the tools; you ask in plain language.

What do 1M input and 200K output tokens cost on Claude Opus 5, GPT-5.5 and Gemini 3.1 Pro, and who is the cheapest provider for each?
Find a cheaper model than Claude Sonnet 4.6 with a 1M context window and function calling that still ranks top 20 on coding.
Which AWS GPU instance is the cheapest way to self-host Llama 3.3 70B?
Compare cache read and cache write prices for GPT-5.5 across providers.
Show the top 10 models on GPQA with their output price per 1M tokens.
How much is a Standard_D4s_v5 per hour on Linux, pay-as-you-go, and where is it cheapest?
Cheapest 8 vCPU / 32 GB Linux instance in us-east-1 on AWS, and its closest match on Azure.
How has the spot price of g5.xlarge moved over the last 30 days in us-east-1 and eu-west-1?
Compare Standard_D4s_v5 in westeurope, m7i.xlarge in eu-west-1 and n2-standard-4 in europe-west4.

Tools

12 read-only tools, the same data and daily updates as the site and the REST API. Every tool works on the Free URL; Subscription for more marks the ones the Subscribed URL extends.

AI models
search_ai_modelsSearch 1000+ models by name, creator, family, capability or context window; sort by a benchmark rank for a leaderboard, add cheapest prices or scores.
get_ai_modelOne model with specs and its ids on every provider; on request the full price matrix (providers, tiers, regions, cache and reasoning prices) and every benchmark score.
calculate_ai_costWhat a workload costs from token, image and audio counts, on one model or up to fifty, cheapest provider first.
compare_ai_modelsSide-by-side prices for two to five models on one tier.
find_similar_ai_modelsCheaper or stronger alternatives to a model, ranked by capability, price or performance.
find_gpu_fitSelf-hosting fit both ways: the cheapest GPU instances for an open-weights model, or the best models for a GPU instance or memory budget.Subscription for more: The full ranking instead of the top 3, and FP8 / INT4 quantization
Cloud instances
search_cloud_instancesInstance types in one Azure, AWS or GCP region with vCPU, memory, GPU and hourly price; filter by size or GPU, cheapest first.Subscription for more: Reserved, savings-plan and commitment prices
get_cloud_instanceSpecs and per-region prices for one Azure VM size, AWS EC2 instance type or GCP machine type.Subscription for more: Every region instead of the first few, and reserved / savings-plan prices
find_similar_cloud_instancesAlternatives to an instance type with comparable vCPU, memory and GPU, in the same cloud or (subscribed) on another cloud.Subscription for more: Alternatives on another cloud, and up to 15 results instead of 5
get_cloud_price_historyOn-demand, spot or (subscribed) reserved price of an instance type over time in up to three regions: summary plus daily or weekly points.Subscription for more: Ranges past 30 days, up to all history, and reserved / commitment prices
get_cloud_regionA region at a glance: location, average price and rank, instance types offered, nearby regions on every cloud, AWS zones and health, availability of a given type.
compare_cloud_instancesUp to five instance types from any clouds side by side: specs and hourly / monthly price on one basis, cheapest first.Subscription for more: Comparing on 1-year and 3-year reserved / commitment prices

Frequently asked questions

Using the server

Is the MCP server free?

The Free URL is: no account, no API key, rate-limited per IP (60 requests a minute); a CloudPrice API key sent as an x-api-key header raises the limit. The Subscribed URL adds subscriber data (every region, reserved and savings-plan prices, cross-cloud alternatives) and needs a CloudPrice subscription.

Which clients work?

Any MCP client that supports remote servers over Streamable HTTP: Claude (web, desktop, mobile), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, Codex, Zed and your own agents built on an MCP SDK. Stdio-only clients can use mcp-remote as a bridge.

Can I self-host it or read the tool schemas?

The server is remote only. Any client shows the tool list and input schemas after connecting; the REST equivalents are documented in the OpenAPI spec on the AI Models API page and on the developer portal.

Data and access

Does it need authentication?

There are two servers with the same tools. The Free URL needs no sign-in and returns the free tier. The Subscribed URL is for subscriber data (every region, reserved and savings-plan prices, cross-cloud alternatives): your client opens the CloudPrice sign-in once when you add it, then every tool runs with your subscription. Nothing else to configure, no API key.

What does the agent get access to when I connect my subscription?

Read-only pricing data with your subscription, nothing else: it cannot see billing, change your account or act on your behalf anywhere but this server. Removing the connector in your client stops it from using the server. The access it holds lasts at most an hour per token, and the connection lapses after 90 days without use; to cut one off right away, write to [email protected].

Is the data the same as on the site and the REST API?

Yes. The tools call the same services as cloudprice.net and the AI Models API, with the same daily updates. On the Free URL the cloud tools show the free tier of the site (on-demand and spot prices, the first regions, same-cloud alternatives); on the Subscribed URL they show what the site shows you.

Prefer plain HTTP? The AI model data is also a free REST API and the cloud pricing API lives on the developer portal.
