Serveur MCP TokenZero

TokenZero tools

Open-source tools from TokenZero, the independent ledger of record for AI spend (metering, attribution, budget control, audit).

• The receipt verifier (verifier/tokenzero-verify.mjs) checks a TokenZero receipt without trusting TokenZero: Ed25519 signature over canonical JSON, the savings-bucket math and the hash chain. Zero dependencies; library or CLI. The format is specified in docs/receipt-spec.md.

• @tokenzero/mcp is a stdio MCP server for Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf and Cline: audit the open project for token waste (locally), price model alternatives, make request bodies cache-friendly.

• @tokenzero/cli connects a project to the ledger (through the gateway sensor) with no code changes, audits LLM token waste locally, shows usage and verifies signed savings receipts.

• The analyzer (src/audit-core.ts) is the static token-waste audit used by the CLI, the hosted repo audit and the PR cost-diff check. It runs entirely on your machine.

• The pricing table (src/pricing.ts) lists the list prices every estimate is computed from, versioned and dated.

Audit a project

npx -y @tokenzero/cli audit            # local, nothing is uploaded
npx -y @tokenzero/cli audit --json
npx -y @tokenzero/cli audit --fail-over 30   # CI gate: exit 1 above 30% recoverable
git diff origin/main | npx -y @tokenzero/cli audit --diff - --format markdown

Audits are static heuristics: they read code, not traffic. Numbers are estimates at list prices; verified savings come from the gateway's signed ledger once requests flow through it.

What it looks for:

• large static prompts sent without caching directives (Anthropic cache_control, OpenAI prefix stability)
• prompt templates defined away from their call sites with no caching anywhere
• frontier models on prompts that read like extraction or classification
• LLM calls inside loops (Batch API or shared-prefix caching candidates)
• unpriced or retired model ids

Library and SDK repositories are detected and their findings downgraded, since their call sites pass through whatever the caller chooses.

Use it from a coding agent (MCP)

claude mcp add tokenzero -- npx -y @tokenzero/mcp          # Claude Code

{ "mcpServers": { "tokenzero": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@tokenzero/mcp"] } } }

audit_repo_token_waste and calculate_model_arbitrage run entirely on your machine. optimize_prompt_payload sends the request body you give it to the TokenZero service (https://tokenzero.sh unless TOKENZERO_URL is set), so do not put secrets in it.

Connect a project to the gateway

npx -y @tokenzero/cli init

init audits locally, creates a workspace, and (with your consent) adds OPENAI_BASE_URL / ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL to .env. Your provider keys pass through untouched and are never stored.

Authentication: send the workspace key as the X-TokenZero-Key header (recommended). For zero-code setups the CLI can also embed it in the base URL (/w/<key>/v1); treat such URLs as secrets and use tokenzero rotate-key if one leaks.
