Metrx MCP Server

Metrx MCP Server

npm version CI License: MIT Smithery Glama

Your AI agents are wasting money. Metrx finds out how much, and fixes it.

The official MCP server for Metrx — the AI Agent Cost Intelligence Platform. Give any MCP-compatible agent (Claude, GPT, Gemini, Cursor, Windsurf) the ability to track its own costs, detect waste, optimize model selection, and prove ROI.

Why Metrx?

Problem

What Metrx Does

No visibility into agent spend

Real-time cost dashboards per agent, model, and provider

Overpaying for LLM calls

Provider arbitrage finds cheaper models for the same task

Runaway costs

Budget enforcement with auto-pause when limits are hit

Wasted tokens

Cost leak scanner detects retry storms, context bloat, model mismatch

Can't prove AI ROI

Revenue attribution links agent actions to business outcomes

Quick Start

Try it now — no signup required

npx @metrxbot/mcp-server --demo

This starts the server with sample data so you can explore all 23 tools instantly.

Connect your real data

Option A — Interactive login (recommended):

npx @metrxbot/mcp-server --auth

Opens your browser to get an API key, validates it, and saves it to ~/.metrxrc so you never need to set env vars.

Option B — Environment variable:

METRX_API_KEY=sk_live_your_key_here npx @metrxbot/mcp-server --test

Get your free API key at app.metrxbot.com/sign-up.

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf)

If you used --auth, no env block is needed — the key is read from ~/.metrxrc automatically:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "metrx": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@metrxbot/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Or pass the key explicitly via environment:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "metrx": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@metrxbot/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "METRX_API_KEY": "sk_live_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Remote HTTP endpoint

For remote agents (no local install needed):

POST https://metrxbot.com/api/mcp
Authorization: Bearer sk_live_your_key_here
Content-Type: application/json

From npm

npm install @metrxbot/mcp-server

Examples

"How much am I spending?"

User: What was my AI cost this week?
→ metrx_get_cost_summary(period_days=7)

Total Spend: $234.56 | Calls: 2,450 | Error Rate: 0.2%
├── customer-support: $156.23 (1,800 calls)
└── code-generator: $78.33 (650 calls)

💡 Switch customer-support from GPT-4 to Claude Sonnet: Save $42/week

"Find me savings"

User: Am I overpaying for my agents?
→ metrx_compare_models(models=["gpt-4o", "claude-3-5-sonnet", "gemini-1.5-pro"])

Model Comparison (per 1M tokens):
├── gpt-4o: $2.50 in / $10.00 out
├── claude-3-5-sonnet: $3.00 in / $15.00 out
└── gemini-1.5-pro: $3.50 in / $10.50 out

"Test a cheaper model"

User: Test Claude 3.5 Sonnet against my GPT-4 setup
→ metrx_create_model_experiment(agent_id="agent_123",

Companion Tool: Cost Leak Detector

This repo also includes @metrxbot/cost-leak-detector — a free, offline CLI that scans your LLM API logs for wasted spend. No signup, no cloud, no data leaves your machine.

npx @metrxbot/cost-leak-detector demo

It runs 7 checks (idle agents, premium model overuse, missing caching, high error rates, context overflow, no budgets, arbitrage opportunities) and gives you a scored report in seconds. See the full docs.

Configuration

API Key (required)

The server looks for your API key in this order:

  1. METRX_API_KEY environment variable

  2. ~/.metrxrc file (created by --auth)

Run npx @metrxbot/mcp-server --auth to save your key, or set the env var directly.

A Note on Naming

The product is Metrx (metrxbot.com). The npm scope is @metrxbot and the Smithery listing is metrxbot/mcp-server. The GitHub organization is metrxbots (with an s) because metrxbot was already taken on GitHub. If you see metrxbot vs metrxbots across platforms, they're the same project — just a GitHub namespace constraint.
