SkillFM LLM Cost Optimizer
Audit and trim OpenAI and Anthropic token spend from the agent while you ship and run AI features.
Overview
SkillFM LLM Cost Optimizer is an MCP server for the Operate phase that audits and optimizes OpenAI and Anthropic token usage with BYOK and Beacon-style cost insights.
What is this MCP server?
- Optimizes LLM cost across OpenAI and Anthropic usage from MCP tools
- Supports BYOK so agents can reason about your own API keys
- SkillFM Beacon audits for usage and waste patterns
- stdio npm package @skillfm/llm-cost-optimizer-mcp v0.1.0
- Keyword focus: token usage, AI cost optimizer, MCP server
- Registry version 0.1.0
- stdio MCP transport
What problem does it solve?
Solo builders cannot see which agent loops or models are silently multiplying API bills until the invoice arrives.
Who is it for?
Indie builders running Claude Code or Cursor agents daily against OpenAI or Anthropic with unpredictable token burn.
Skip if: Teams with zero LLM API usage or enterprise FinOps platforms that already own centralized chargeback.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your agent can query usage patterns and optimization guidance so you cut waste before spend compounds in production.
- Agent-callable cost and usage optimization insights for LLM providers
- Beacon-oriented audit signals for wasteful token patterns
- BYOK-aware guidance surfaced inside the coding agent
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Recurring LLM bills surface hardest once the product is live; canonical shelf is production cost monitoring. Token usage, BYOK routing, and Beacon-style audits are observability for model spend, not one-off build tasks.
How it compares
MCP cost-and-usage integration, not a prompt-writing or model-training skill.
