Tokenomics Overview tools (24)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
calculate_cache_metricsApplies the cache explainer's published formulas to YOUR token counts. Cache hit rate = cache read / (cache read + cache write + uncached input). Cache cost efficiency = 1 − actual prompt cost / uncached equivalent cost, where uncached equivalent cost = (cache read + cache write + uncached input) × base input price. Give token counts; add `base_input_price_per_mtok` plus either `actual_prompt_cost
define_termGlossary lookup across the Foundation's definition page and the cache explainer (e.g. 'KV cache', 'prompt cache', 'tokenmaxing', 'Jevons paradox'). Returns every matching definition with its source.
get_bigt_classOne rung of the Big-T ladder: what puts a workload in it, the published fix, the stack layers whose levers move it, and the levers tagged with it. `class` accepts 'T(n·k)', 'n*k', 'nk', 'multiplicative', or a slug like 't-n-k'.
get_bigt_notationBig-T notation, 'Big-O for AI consumption': T(n · k · a) = requests × model calls per request × agent depth, and the six-class complexity ladder from T(1) to T(∞), each with its published fix. Use it to classify how a workload's token cost grows before optimizing constants.
get_crosslinksStated links from tokenomics entities to the other two servers: each carries a quote from the Foundation page that names the target, and a finops://framework/… or focus://spec/… URI to read with those servers (null for FOCUS working-draft identifiers). Filter by `entity_type` + `slug` (e.g. metric cache-hit-rate) or by target `server`.
get_crosswalkEXPERIMENTAL, UNOFFICIAL: this server's curated mappings from tokenomics entities to FinOps Framework capabilities, KPIs and personas (e.g. cache-hit-rate → framework KPI cache-hit-rate, personas by name). No Foundation page states these; each carries a rationale. Prefer get_crosslinks for stated links.
get_curriculum_moduleEXPERIMENTAL, UNOFFICIAL: one training module's objectives, agenda, anchors to sources, and (with include_slides) each slide's title, body, source line, and facilitator notes. Module-original formulas are the module's own method, not Foundation guidance.
get_documentCanonical markdown of one Tokenomics Foundation document, prefixed with its publication status and followed by CC BY attribution. Pass `section` (an id from list_documents) to get one section instead of the whole document — prefer this for long papers and podcast transcripts.
get_focus_ai_trackerThe Foundation's page on what FOCUS 1.5 does for AI cost, one card per capability: in the working draft (e.g. ModelId and other model properties on SKU Price Details, TokenCacheAction / TokenDirection, PrincipalId / CredentialId), in final Member review (SKU Price dataset, AI billing worked examples), and not in 1.5. Filter by `bucket` (done|review|out) or an `identifier` such as 'TokenCacheAction
get_layerOne layer of the Seven-Layer Stack: description, components, published tooling table, and the levers that sit at it. `layer` accepts 'l5', '5', 'L5', the layer name ('ai access and control'), or its first word ('energy', 'demand'). L5 is the proxy / router / gateway layer.
get_leverFull record for one optimization lever, with provenance and status. Look up by slug or name from list_levers.
get_metricOne metric's published formula, definition, inputs, 'what good looks like' targets, and its cross-links to the FinOps Framework / FOCUS servers. E.g. 'cache-hit-rate', 'cache-cost-efficiency'.
get_numbers_registerEXPERIMENTAL, UNOFFICIAL: the curriculum's register of every figure a module may use, with its wording and its only allowed citation (e.g. 8–27% token share of agent run cost, ~34× Big-T worked example). Optional `query` filter.
get_personaOne persona's responsibilities, key decisions, signals and metrics, and stated links to FinOps Framework capabilities.
get_provider_cache_snapshotThe cache explainer's dated snapshot of frontier providers' prompt-cache pricing and behavior (write/read charges as multiples of base input, minimum cacheable prefix, lifetime). A snapshot, not a spec — verify against current provider docs. Optional `provider` filter (anthropic, openai, google).
get_tokenomics_infoStart here. Data version, entity counts, and every source document with its publication status (Working Draft, Release Candidate, …). No parameters.
list_curriculum_modulesEXPERIMENTAL, UNOFFICIAL: the maintainer's local AI Tokenomics training modules (TK-2xx/3xx) from the curriculum overlay — ids, titles, levels, personas, objectives. Not Tokenomics Foundation content.
list_documentsEvery ingested tokeneconomics.com document with kind (docs/project/paper/insight), publication status, and section ids for get_document. Optional `kind` filter.
list_layersThe seven layers (L0 Energy … L5 AI access and control, the routing/gateway layer … L6 Demand and entry points) with the published summary: whether each moves the Big-T multiplier, its key metric, and its primary levers. The lower three set what a token costs; the middle three move a workload between Big-T classes; the top layer sets demand.
list_leversOptimization levers as the Foundation publishes them: the stack's primary levers per layer (caching, batching, right-sizing, quantization, complexity routing, budgets, agent caps…), Big-T's five levers (routing, serialization, caching, abstraction transparency, governance), architectural approaches with published token reductions, and the 34× worked-example steps. Filter by `layer` (0-6), `bigt_cl
list_metricsThe Foundation's reference metrics with their published formulas: Cache Hit Rate, Cache Cost Efficiency and uncached equivalent cost (cache explainer), net benefit and risk expected loss (value classification), cost per token (definition), and AI unit economics (TCA over realized value, a proposal).
list_personasThe eight core personas (Engineering, FinOps Practitioner, AI End User, Finance, Product, Procurement, Leadership, Capacity) and four allied ones, with the stages (Production, Consumption, Value) each spans. Filter by `stage` or `core`.
list_value_categoriesThe ten outcome categories (direct dollar wins, labor, intangible) with 'estimate as' units, and the five destinations Finance books realized value to. From 'Classifying and Measuring Realized Value from AI'.
search_tokenomicsRanked keyword search across layers, Big-T classes, levers, metrics, personas, value categories, glossary terms, FOCUS tracker items, and every document section. Use when you don't know the slug; follow up with the matching get_* tool or get_document(section).

What the publisher says
From the Tokenomics Overview repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
finops-framework-mcp
Three unofficial MCP servers that give AI assistants a structured, sourced interface to published FinOps and AI-cost guidance, so an assistant answers with the publishers' actual text and formulas instead of improvising:
All three are read-only (an agent can read guidance, never change your practice or data) and offline once installed (no network access at runtime, no telemetry). Use any one on its own; together they cover what good looks like, which billing columns prove it, and what drives AI token cost.
Start here: the usage guide
aaronmsoto.github.io/finops-framework-mcp is a free, no-install walkthrough written for FinOps practitioners as much as engineers. It explains what each server does, connects them to Claude in a couple of minutes, and works through five examples, from a showback report to whether prompt caching is paying off. Every number and quote in it comes from a real run of these servers. See Documentation for the page list.
Why this exists
Ask an AI assistant "how mature is our Allocation practice?", "which FOCUS columns feed Effective Savings Rate?" or "is our prompt caching paying off?" without these servers, and it will happily improvise a plausible answer. With them, every response is the publisher's own text and formulas, structured for an assistant to read, with the source URL and license attached.
Anything a server had to work out itself is labeled, never passed off as published guidance:
cross-version diff are marked UNOFFICIAL (official: false).
- The FOCUS server's KPI-to-column mapping, computed KPI values and
answer, because most Tokenomics Foundation guidance is a working draft or release candidate. Its curated crosswalk is unofficial and only appears with FINOPSMCPEXPERIMENTAL=1.
- The tokenomics server states each source's publication status on every
relationships between capabilities, no maturity levels beyond the Foundation's Crawl/Walk/Run.
- The framework server is official-only out of the box: no invented
Quickstart
All three are on npm, so there is nothing to clone or build. Each package ships its own data and runs offline. Node >= 22 is the only requirement.
