AI Model Advisor MCP Server
The ultimate Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for AI model discovery, cost optimization, and performance benchmarking. Fully compatible with Claude Desktop, Cursor AI, Windsurf, and any MCP client.
Stop guessing which AI model to use. Give your agent the tools to compare pricing, intelligence benchmarks (MMLU/Coding), latency speed (TTFT), and throughput across 1000+ models from 5 top AI platform providers (OpenRouter, fal.ai, Together AI, Replicate, and Fireworks AI).
"Where is the cheapest Llama 3.3 endpoint?" "What is the fastest model for image generation under my budget?" "Which Claude 3.7 model has the highest coding benchmark?" Just ask your agent. It shops across all providers instantly with real-time AI model pricing.
Why use this Model Context Protocol Server?
New AI models drop constantly. Your AI coding agent (like Claude Desktop or Cursor) doesn't inherently know what's available, what API inference costs, or what the exact performance metrics are. This MCP fixes that by acting as a live model catalog and routing engine, giving your agent real-time access to:
š§ 300+ LLMs via OpenRouter API (GPT-4o, Claude 3.7, Gemini 2.5 Pro, Llama, Reasoning Models, DeepSeek V3/R1)
šØ 200+ Media Models via fal.ai API (Flux Pro, Stable Diffusion, Kling Video, Whisper)
ā” 200+ Open-Source Models via Together AI (Llama 3.3 70B, Qwen, Mistral)
š Community fine-tunes & LORAs via Replicate (Wan 2.1, Recraft, Custom pipelines)
š„ Blazing Fast Inference endpoints via Fireworks AI
š·ļø Cross-Provider Price Calculator ā find the cheapest API endpoint / lowest cost LLM for any architecture.
ā” Live Speed & Latency Metrics ā powered by Artificial Analysis (TTFT and Tokens/sec throughput).
š Intelligence Leaderboards ā baked-in MMLU, Math, and Coding benchmark scores.
š° Real-Time Pricing ā powered by our cloud backend (Zero config, no API keys needed for pricing).
ā Curated Quality Tiers (S/A/B/C) to prevent agents from picking hallucinating or outdated models.
š Discovery Engine ā agents can ask "what new AI models dropped this week?"

Quick Start
Zero-config (No API keys required)
The server works entirely out-of-the-box. Just add it to your MCP settings and save:
{
"mcpServers": {
"model-advisor": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "ai-model-advisor-mcp@latest"]
}
}
}That's it! Live pricing for all 1,000+ models across all 5 providers is fetched automatically using our hosted Cloudflare Worker Pricing API. No API keys, no environment variables, no setup.

Inputs: usage (required), model_id (required).
find_cheapest_providerA
Find the cheapest provider for a given model. Searches across all 5 providers to find where a model (e.g. "llama 3.3 70b", "flux pro", "deepseek r1") is available and compares pricing. Uses fuzzy matching to find the same model across different providers.
Inputs: model (required).

TDQS
Scored across 9 tools
Most tools have clearly distinct purposes: listing, getting details, comparing, recommending, estimating cost, etc. However, recommend_model and select_model_for_project overlap in that both provide recommendations; select_model_for_project is explicitly a higher-level aggregation tool, but agents could be uncertain which to use.
The majority of tools follow a consistent verb_noun snake_case pattern (e.g., list_models, get_model_info, estimate_cost). The exception is whats_new, which deviates from the verb_noun structure but remains clear and fits the domain.
With 9 tools, the set is well-scoped for an AI model advisor. Each tool addresses a distinct need, and the count is within the ideal range for a focused server.
The tool surface covers the full lifecycle of model advisory: discovery (list_models, whats_new), detailed info (get_model_info), recommendation (recommend_model, select_model_for_project), comparison (compare_models), pricing (batch_get_pricing, find_cheapest_provider), and cost estimation (estimate_cost). No significant gaps are apparent.
