A side-by-side look at the AI Wave and Llm Prices Cn MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose AI Wave for aggregators work as a local process; choose Llm Prices Cn for aggregators over a hosted endpoint. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
AIWAVE_API_KEY.list_model_changes, get_model, search_models.query_model_price, estimate_cost.Rows where the two servers differ are marked.

list_model_changesWhat changed since I last checked? Poll with `since`, feed back `latest`.get_modelPrice, context and catalog status for one model (OpenRouter or Hugging Face id).search_modelsWhich models fit this budget and context, ordered by current attention?query_model_price查询指定大模型(如 GPT-5, Claude, DeepSeek)的最新 API 输入、输出和缓存输入单价(单位:每百万 tokens)。estimate_cost估算一段文本或指定 token 数在某个大模型上的**输入侧**调用成本,以人民币 ¥ 计价。text_or_tokens 支持两种模式:传自然语言文本时自动估算 token 数(中文按字符、英文按词分别计),传纯数字字符串时直接作为已知 token 数使用。返回:所用估算方法、token 数、按原价计的输入成本;若该模型提供缓存输入价,另给出缓存命中成本、相对原价的节省百分比与倍数差价;末尾附该模型的输入 / 输出 / 缓存输入单价(每百万 tokens)。⚠️ 本工具只计算输入成本,不含输出 token 费用——要估算完整往返成本,需另取输出单价自行相加。Paste either block (or both) into your client config, e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json. We only show a config when the install command is confirmed.
