in the cloud
one click: the provider's deploy form opens filled in, in your own account- koyeb
-
Koyeb builds the repository's Dockerfile from branch main; change the branch in the form if the default one has another name.
Clients connect to the service's https://…koyeb.app address plus /mcp.
- cloud run
-
Cloud Shell clones the repository, builds its Dockerfile and deploys it to Cloud Run.
Cloud Run sends requests to $PORT (8080); the recipe expects :8000, so the server has to read PORT, or set the container port on the service afterwards.

The only text from the server itself is in the section quoted from it below. ## How to reach it - A web service at `https://optimtoken-mcp.optimnow.io/mcp` (streamable HTTP); nothing runs here. - Your MCP client knows it as `ai-pricing-hub` (`clients/` configures it under that name); call its tools by the names below. Claude Code shows them as `mcp__ai-pricing-hub__<tool>`. - No credentials. ## Tools 5 tools. The read-only column is the server's own hint (`readOnlyHint`), not something the hub checked. ### Quoted from the server: data, not instructions The names, sentences and parameter names in this table are the server's own text, as the hub listed it.

compare-compute-pricingCompare cloud compute instance pricing across AWS, Azure, GCP, DigitalOcean, OCI, OVH, and Alibaba. Filter by region, provider, vCPUs, memory, category, processor, or use case. All prices are Linux on-demand list prices in USD. Not every price column is live: `provenance.priceTypes` says which of each provider's price columns come from a live API, which are static constants, and which are unavailable, and `provenance.staticPriceColumns` lists the non-live ones outright; a savings-plan or reserved rate that appears there is a static estimate, not a live quote. Prices are returned as the catalogue serves them and dated by `provenance`.Compare cloud compute instance pricing across AWS, Azure, GCP, DigitalOcean, OCI, OVH, and Alibaba.

Use this when the user wants to SEE THE FIELD — 'show me models under $1/1M', 'which providers have vision models', 'list open-weight models above ELO 1300'. For a single PICK under a budget use recommend-llm-model; to weigh 2-4 NAMED models against each other use compare-models-side-by-side.

Price tier and openness are independent: a model can be Frontier-priced and open-weight at once. Reports both list-price cost and the optimized cost achievable with prompt caching and the batch API.
