About andreisirbu91-lab/MCPSpend

MCPSpend provides real-time cost observability for Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool calls. It wraps any MCP server to attribute spend per tool, project, or customer. The tool is hosted in the EU and offers a free tier of 25,000 calls per month.

Best for

Developers using MCP servers who need to track and allocate costs per tool or client

Use cases

  • Track per-tool costs across multiple MCP servers
  • Attribute AI tool usage spend to specific projects or customers
  • Monitor real-time cost trends for MCP-based workflows

Notes

65 stars on GitHub. Last updated 2026-05-29. Licensed MIT.

Pros

  • Free tier covers 25,000 calls per month for small-scale use
  • EU-hosted for compliance with European data regulations
  • Granular cost attribution per tool, project, or customer

Cons

  • Limited to MCP protocol tools only, not general API cost tracking
  • Relatively new project with only 65 GitHub stars and limited community
  • No self-hosted option mentioned, relying on EU-hosted service
