What Is This?
ATOM MCP Server lets any MCP-compatible AI agent (Claude, GPT, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code Copilot) query real-time AI inference pricing data programmatically. Think of it as the Bloomberg Terminal for AI pricing, accessible via the Model Context Protocol.
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 from 1,600+ pricing SKUs across 40+ vendors globally.
Built by ATOM (A7OM) — the world's first methodological inference pricing index.

Quick Start
Option 1: Remote URL — Claude.ai / 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 doesn't 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, etc.
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_URLSUPABASE_ANON_KEYATOM_API_KEYS(comma-separated, for paid tier validation)TRANSPORT=http
Example Queries
Once connected, just ask your AI assistant naturally:
- "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?"
- "Give me a market overview of AI inference pricing"
- "What are the key market KPIs for AI inference?"
Environment Variables
| Variable | Required | Description |
