What This Is

ATOM MCP Server lets any MCP-compatible AI agent (Claude, GPT, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code Copilot) query live AI inference pricing data programmatically. Built on financial index methodology comparable to S&P Dow Jones, MSCI, and Bloomberg, the ATOM Inference Price Index (AIPI) is the first independent benchmark for the AI inference market.

Ask your AI assistant a question like "What's the cheapest way to run GPT-4o?" and it calls ATOM's tools behind the scenes, returning a data-backed answer pulled from live coverage across the global vendor landscape.

AIPI Indexes

The AIPI index family spans four categories, all calculated weekly using chained matched-model methodology to eliminate composition bias:

| Category | Examples | What It Answers | |----------|----------|-----------------| | Modality | Text, Multimodal, Image, Audio, Video, Voice, Embeddings | What does this type of inference cost? | | Channel | Model Developers, Cloud Marketplaces, Inference Platforms, Neoclouds | Where should you buy: direct, marketplace, platform, or neocloud? | | Tier | Frontier, Budget, Mid-Tier, Reasoning | What is the premium for capability? | | Special | Open-Source | How much cheaper is open-weight inference? |

All indexes are global (GLB) and reported across three pricing directions: input, cached input, output.

Tools

Two complementary intelligence layers. Pricing tells you what inference costs; Model Intelligence tells you what you are paying for.

| Tool | Tier | Description | |------|------|-------------| | list_vendors | Free | All tracked vendors with country, region, channel type, and pricing page URLs | | get_kpis | Free | 9 pricing KPIs: output premium, caching discount, open-source discount, context window cost, model size spread, reasoning premium, platform discount, neocloud discount, caching availability | | get_model_intelligence | Free | 6 capability KPIs from model metadata: reasoning tier share, long-context saturation, frontier context ceiling, output ceiling spread, training cutoff lag, vendor modality breadth | | get_index_benchmarks | Free | AIPI price benchmarks across all indexes | | get_market_stats | Tiered | Aggregate market intelligence: medians, quartiles, distributions, modality breakdown | | search_models | Tiered | Multi-filter search: modality, vendor, creator, open-source, price range, context window, parameters | | get_model_detail | Tiered | Full specs and pricing across all vendors for a single model | | compare_prices | Tiered | Cross-vendor price comparison for a model or model family | | get_vendor_catalog | Tiered | Complete catalog for a specific vendor |

Quick Start

Option 1: Remote URL for Claude.ai and Claude Desktop (recommended)

No install required. Connect directly to ATOM's hosted server.

Claude.ai (web): Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector

Name: ATOM Pricing Intelligence
URL:  https://atom-mcp-server-production.up.railway.app/mcp

Claude Desktop: Settings → Developer → Edit Config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "atom-pricing": {
      "url": "https://atom-mcp-server-production.up.railway.app/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Note: Remote URL support requires a recent Claude Desktop version. If it does not work, use the npx method below.

Claude Desktop (via npx proxy):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "atom-pricing": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://atom-mcp-server-production.up.railway.app/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Option 2: Local (stdio) for Cursor, Windsurf, and similar clients

git clone https://github.com/A7OM-AI/atom-mcp-server.git
cd atom-mcp-server
npm install && npm run build

Add to your MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "atom-pricing": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/atom-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "SUPABASE_URL": "https://jonncmzxvxzwyaznokba.supabase.co",
        "SUPABASE_ANON_KEY": "your-anon-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Option 3: Deploy your own (Railway)


Set environment variables in Railway dashboard:

• SUPABASE_URL
• SUPABASE_ANON_KEY
• ATOM_API_KEYS (comma-separated, for paid tier validation)
• TRANSPORT=http

Example Queries

Once connected, ask your AI assistant in natural language:

• "What's the cheapest way to run GPT-4o?"
• "Compare Claude Sonnet 4.5 pricing across all vendors"
• "Find open-source text models under $0.50 per million tokens"
• "Show me Google's full model catalog"
• "What are the AIPI benchmark prices for text inference?"
• "How do neocloud prices compare to cloud marketplaces?"
• "How much cheaper is open-source inference?"
• "How stale is the median AI model's training data?"
• "What share of models ship with long context, and how rare are reasoning models?"
• "Give me a market overview of AI inference pricing"

---

Environment Variables

| Variable | Required | Description | |----------|----------|-------------| | SUPABASE_URL | Yes | Supabase project URL | | SUPABASE_ANON_KEY | Yes | Supabase anonymous/public key | | ATOM_API_KEYS | No | Comma-separated valid API keys for paid tier | | TRANSPORT | No | stdio (default) or http | | PORT | No | HTTP port (default 3000) |

About ATOM

The Global Price Benchmark for AI Inference. Independent pricing intelligence for developers, analysts, and infrastructure buyers. Transparent methodology, deterministic indexing, weekly market intelligence across the global AI inference market.

ATOM was founded in 2025 by Stamos Kanellakis. The platform is built on financial index methodology comparable to S&P Dow Jones, MSCI, and Bloomberg, and applies that discipline to a market that previously had no pricing benchmark of its own.
