This MCP server provides access to 12 calculators focused on AI cost, energy, and agent verification. It exposes functionality through a free API and does not require an API key, enabling calculations related to these topics in a developer-consumable way.

🛠️ Key Features

12 calculators for AI cost
12 calculators for energy
12 calculators for agent verification
Free API
No key required

🚀 Use Cases

Estimating AI-related costs
Assessing energy implications for AI work
Verifying agent behavior or outputs using agent verification calculators

⚡ Developer Benefits

Free API access
No API key setup for requests
Calculator-based workflow for cost, energy, and verification scenarios

ai-economics-mcp

MCP server for AI economics. Gives Claude, Cursor and any MCP client 12 calculators for the questions that decide AI budgets: what tokens cost, what queries burn, and whether agent work can be proven.

Listed in the official MCP Registry as pl.piszczek/ai-economics (domain-verified). Wraps the free piszczek.pl/tools API — no key, no sign-up, stateless (inputs are never stored). The math is the same as the interactive calculators.

Install

Claude Desktop / Claude Code (claude_desktop_config.json / .mcp.json):
