Gonka Network Pricing — MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI agents compare LLM inference costs and get sign-up links for Gonka Network — an OpenAI-compatible inference API up to 6800× cheaper than GPT-4o.

Live endpoint: https://mcp.gogonka.com/mcp

Why Gonka?

Provider	Model	$/1M input tokens
OpenAI	GPT-4o	$2.50
Anthropic	Claude Sonnet 4.6	$3.00
DeepSeek	deepseek-chat	$0.28
Gonka	MiniMax-M2.7	~$0.00037

Zero code changes needed — swap one environment variable:

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://gate.joingonka.ai/v1",
    api_key="YOUR_GONKA_API_KEY"
)
# Same API, same SDK, 6800× cheaper

from mcp.client.streamable_http import streamablehttp_client

async with streamablehttp_client("https://mcp.gogonka.com/mcp") as (r, w, _):
    async with ClientSession(r, w) as session:
        await session.initialize()
        result = await session.call_tool("calculate_savings", {"monthly_spend_usd": 200})
        print(result)

fastmcp CLI

pip install fastmcp
fastmcp call https://mcp.gogonka.com/mcp -t http calculate_savings '{"monthly_spend_usd": 200}'

curl (Streamable HTTP)

Pricing data freshness

GNK/USD rate — updated every 10 minutes from the Gonka Network API
Competitor prices (OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek) — updated daily from the LiteLLM pricing database
All prices served from /var/www/gogonka/pricing.json on the server

Self-hosting

git clone https://github.com/gogonka/gonka-mcp-server
cd gonka-mcp-server
pip install -r requirements.txt
python server.py
# Server starts on http://127.0.0.1:8643

The server reads pricing data from /var/www/gogonka/pricing.json. For a standalone deployment, replace PRICING_FILE in server.py with your own pricing JSON path or fetch prices directly from the Gonka Network API.
