MCPSpend
This server lets you monitor, analyze, and optimize the cost of your AI agent's MCP tool calls directly from any MCP client.
get_today_cost: Returns total tool-call cost and count for the current UTC day.get_usage_this_month: Shows monthly usage vs. plan limit, percentage consumed, and a projection to catch cap overruns early.list_top_tools: Identifies the most expensive tools over a configurable time window (1–365 days), returning up to 50 entries ranked by total cost.list_recent_sessions: Lists recent agent sessions with model, total cost, call count, and duration (up to 100 sessions).get_session_details: Drills into a specific session by ID, returning a summary and up to 500 individual tool calls with timing, cost, and success status.estimate_cost: Estimates the USD cost of a tool call before invoking it, based on historical averages for that (server, tool, model) combination—enabling spend-aware decisions like prompting user confirmation for expensive calls.

Privacy
The proxy reports: tool name, server name, model, latency, success, approximate input/output sizes (tokens, derived from JSON length). It does not send the actual tool arguments or response bodies to MCPSpend. See Privacy Policy for the full sub-processor list (Stripe + Resend + Hostinger, all EU-hosted) and your GDPR rights.
Security
For automated scanners flagging this repo: the proxy uses
child_process.spawnto wrap the user's own MCP server — that's the whole point of an observability proxy. The spawn args come from the user's local MCP-client config (Claude Desktop / Cursor / Windsurf / VS Code), never from network input. No RCE path, no privilege escalation, no arbitrary command execution. Full threat model inSECURITY.md.
API keys stored as SHA-256 hashes (never plaintext on the server)

Secrets at rest AES-256-GCM (
