Modelmeter — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Remote MCP server tracking model deprecations, sunset schedules, price shifts, and migration paths. Useful for keeping AI dependencies up to date.
claude mcp add --transport http modelmeter https://modelmeter.xyz/mcpWhat Modelmeter does
Modelmeter supplies agents with structured updates about the AI model layer. It monitors planned retirements and provider pricing changes. Records include primary source quotes alongside a verification state.
The server offers seven MCP tools: check_model_dependencies, list_deprecations, estimate_cost, get_model, list_models, get_price_history, and list_events. It calculates token expenses for input and output volumes while tracking upstream reseller markups.
No local installation or authentication tokens are needed since the server runs remotely over Streamable HTTP at https://modelmeter.xyz/mcp. Wrong pricing is blocked by a schema rule requiring explicit human verification before data gets served.
What it helps with
- audit project code for deprecated or retiring LLM versions
- calculate token expenses for specific input and output sizes
- inspect historical pricing trends across different providers
- identify recommended replacement targets for sunsetted models
Example prompts for the agent
