OfficialCheapestInference MCP Server
Remote MCP server for CheapestInference — unlimited LLM inference at a flat monthly price. No token caps, no per-token billing: subscribe to a pool of frontier open-source models and use them through an OpenAI-compatible API (an Anthropic-compatible endpoint is included, so it works with Claude Code, Cursor, and any OpenAI SDK).
This MCP server is the commercial front door. From any MCP client — or from an autonomous agent — you can browse live pools and pricing, get a USDC quote, pay on Base L2, and receive an API key, end to end, without a browser and without a human in the loop.
https://api.cheapestinference.com/mcpTransport: Streamable HTTP, stateless. No authentication to connect — management tools take your API key as a tool argument.
Note: inference itself is served over the OpenAI-compatible base URL (
https://api.cheapestinference.com/v1), not over MCP. Theget_connection_infotool hands you ready-to-paste client snippets.

Tools
Tool | Auth | What it does |
| none | Active pools with per-block USDC prices (live) and availability |
| none | One pool in detail: models, daily blocks, what the subscription includes |
| none | Exact USDC amount, payment address on Base, and the claim message to sign |
| wallet signature | Verifies your payment on-chain and returns your API key |
| none | Dashboard URL to finish a card subscription in a browser |
| API key | Pool, reserved blocks, expiry, renewal semantics for your key |
| optional API key | Base URLs + client snippets (OpenAI SDK, Claude Code, curl) |
Subscribing with USDC, end to end
list_pools→ pick a pool and one or more daily 8-hour blocks (all three = 24/7).get_crypto_quote→ exact USDC amount, thepayToaddress on Base, and a claim-message template.Send the USDC (ERC-20) transfer from your wallet.
Sign the claim message (EIP-191, transaction hash filled in) with the same wallet that paid.
confirm_crypto_subscriptionwithtx_hash,pool_slug,blocks,signature→ your API key for the Unlimited pool.
USDC subscriptions are one-time 30-day purchases — renew by repeating the flow. Card subscriptions (via get_card_checkout_link) auto-renew until cancelled.
Agents with an x402-capable wallet (Coinbase AgentKit, x402-fetch) can also skip subscriptions entirely: keyless requests to the inference endpoint return a 402 with USDC pricing for pay-per-request.
