Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote, read-only price book for AI APIs: lets an assistant list markets, search, inspect and compare offerings by price, quality and speed.

What you can do
  • List every AI API market with its id and pricing unit, and explain how a market's pricing works and which attributes can be filtered.
  • Search and rank offerings in a market by price, quality and speed, with optional requirements and a maximum price.
  • Fetch full detail for one offering: description, capabilities, current price with source, and price history.
  • Compare two to four offerings from the same market side by side on prices, scores and capabilities.
When to use it
Useful when choosing between AI APIs and you want dated, sourced prices rather than guesses: cheapest LLM with tool use and a long context, cheapest text-to-speech with voice cloning, GPU rental rates, or embeddings comparisons for an MVP.
Requirements
A remote Streamable HTTP endpoint; nothing to install. No account is needed for limited free use; an API key sent as an Authorization Bearer header (kept in the PROXLAI_API_KEY environment variable) raises the limits. Clients that only run local servers need npx with mcp-remote.
Before you install
Read-only lookups, but usage is rate-limited and metered: without a key there is a daily cap per address, and with a key lookups beyond the free daily allowance are charged from a credit balance. Prices change often, so confirm on the provider's own site before buying. An API key is a credential and should be kept in the environment variable rather than shared.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Proxlai in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.proxlai%2Fproxlai/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "proxlai": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://proxlai.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

README

Proxlai MCP server

Live, verified prices for AI APIs, inside your coding agent.

Proxlai is a price book for AI APIs: 231 APIs from 113 providers across 38 markets (LLMs, GPU rental, image and video generation, text-to-speech, speech-to-text, embeddings, vector databases, 3D and more). Every market is priced in one unit, and every price has the date it was verified and a link to the provider's own pricing page.

This is a remote MCP server: nothing to install or run.

https://proxlai.com/api/mcp

Read-only · Streamable HTTP · no account needed (100 lookups a day free; an API key raises the limit).

Connect

Claude Code

bash
claude mcp add --transport http proxlai https://proxlai.com/api/mcp

Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Desktop and other JSON-configured clients

json
{ "mcpServers": { "proxlai": { "url": "https://proxlai.com/api/mcp" } } }

Clients that only run local (stdio) servers

json
{ "mcpServers": { "proxlai": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://proxlai.com/api/mcp"] } } }

Or paste this to your agent and let it set itself up:

Tools

ToolWhat it does
list_marketsEvery market with its id and pricing unit. Start here.
describe_marketWhat a market is, how its pricing works, and the attributes you can filter on.
search_offeringsRank a market's offerings by price, quality and speed, with requirements and a maximum price.
get_offeringOne offering in full: capabilities, current price with its source, price history.
compare_offerings2 to 4 offerings from one market side by side.

Try asking your agent

  • "What's the cheapest LLM API with tool use and a 1M-token context?"
  • "Cheapest text-to-speech API with voice cloning?"
  • "Where can I rent an H100 for the least per hour right now?"
  • "Compare the three cheapest embeddings APIs."
  • "I'm building an MVP. Which model gives the best quality for the price?"

Every answer comes with the unit, the verified date and the provider's pricing link. Prices change often, so confirm on the provider's site before you buy.

Limits and keys

  • Without a key: 30 calls a minute and 100 searches or lookups a day per address.
  • With a key: create one at https://proxlai.com/dashboard and send it as Authorization: Bearer <key> (keep it in the PROXLAI_API_KEY environment variable). It includes 100 free lookups a day per account, then $0.01 each from your credit balance.

Score

100% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
