BenchGecko — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Delivers daily token pricing across providers, GPU rental rates, and verified AI corporate statistics straight to your coding agent.
claude mcp add --transport http benchgecko https://benchgecko.ai/api/mcpWhat BenchGecko does
The server connects your agent to BenchGecko daily datasets. It updates every day. The feed supplies list prices per million tokens across input, output, and cache reads, alongside provider context limits and quantization levels.
Beyond token costs, the data tracks AI company financials from SEC filings, attention metrics, and hourly GPU prices from Vast.ai. The integration runs over HTTP via https://benchgecko.ai/api/mcp. It requires an active internet connection.
External benchmark leaderboards are absent. The server only returns BenchGecko's own test runs, such as coordinate scoring and host verification.
What it helps with
- compare token prices across model hosting providers
- track hourly GPU rental rates before reserving compute
- lookup verified funding, revenue, and headcount for AI labs
- monitor developer attention metrics across GitHub and Hacker News
Example prompts for the agent

- Check the median hourly rental cost for an H100 according to Vast.ai metrics.
