MCP token cost calculator

What are your MCP servers costing you?

Every MCP server you connect dumps its full tool list into your agent's context on every request. Adjust the inputs below and see what that costs, and what Toolport cuts it to.

A typical MCP server exposes 10 to 25 tools.

Each turn reloads your tools into context. Multiply by your team size.

Input-token list prices (June 2026). Tool definitions are input tokens you pay on every request. Running a model not listed? Pick "Custom".

Tool-definition tokens loaded per request. With Toolport the agent always loads the same 3 meta-tools, so this stays flat as you add servers. Without it, every tool you connect adds to the bill.

Based on our measured benchmark (~397 tokens per tool, averaged across a real 415-tool catalog; lazy discovery loads 3 meta-tools). In an end-to-end test on a frontier model, that worked out to up to 91% fewer tokens at the same task success. Your real numbers depend on your servers, but the shape holds.

And it's not just the bill. Those tokens are the part of the context window your model actually reasons in, spent listing tools every turn before it reads your request. Models lose accuracy as context fills (context rot), well before the window is ever "full," so the bloat makes your agent measurably worse, not just pricier. Clear it and your agent stays sharp, often on a cheaper model.
