Getting Started

MCP Server

Connect AI coding tools to AICredits with the official MCP server. Live model lists, INR pricing, credit balance, usage, API keys, and docs search — without leaving your editor.

Use this page with an AI assistant

Opens a new chat with this docs URL and the correct AICredits base URLs.

The AICredits MCP (Model Context Protocol) server plugs AICredits into the AI tools you already use. Once connected, your assistant can pull live AICredits data — models, INR pricing, your credit balance, usage, and API keys — all without leaving your editor.

It's a remote server hosted by AICredits — nothing is installed locally.

Connect

The MCP server authenticates with a management key (akm-…), not an inference key. Your inference key (sk-live-…) will not work here.

Get a management key: open the Management API page in your dashboard (sidebar → Management API), click Create management key, and grant only the scopes you want the assistant to have (wallet:read, usage:read, keys:read). The key is shown once. You can also revoke it from the same page at any time.

claude mcp add --transport http aicredits https://api.aicredits.in/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer akm-YOUR-MANAGEMENT-KEY"

Add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aicredits": {
      "url": "https://api.aicredits.in/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer akm-YOUR-MANAGEMENT-KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Any client supporting streamable HTTP transport:

{
  "url": "https://api.aicredits.in/mcp",
  "transport": "http",
  "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer akm-YOUR-MANAGEMENT-KEY" }
}

Grant the management key only the scopes the assistant needs. A leaked key limited to wallet:read + usage:read can only read — it can't create keys or spend credits.

Tools

All tools are read-only lookups against live AICredits data. Each account-data tool checks the management key's scopes.

ToolScopeWhat it does
models_list—List available models with live INR pricing per 1M tokens; filter with search
model_get—Full detail for one model: pricing, context window, modalities, status
pricing_estimate—Estimate a request's INR cost from token counts
docs_search—Search this documentation and get links to relevant pages
credits_balancewallet:readYour current wallet balance in INR
usage_summaryusage:readRecent request count, INR spend, and top models (up to 90 days)
keys_listkeys:readYour inference API keys (metadata only — never the secret)

The MCP server never routes inference. To send chat/completion requests, point your client's model provider at https://api.aicredits.in/v1 with an sk-live-… inference key.

Example prompts

Once connected, ask your assistant things like:

  • "Which is the cheapest model on AICredits that handles 128K context?"
  • "What's my AICredits balance and what did I spend this week?"
  • "Estimate the cost of 50K input / 2K output tokens on claude-sonnet-4.5"
  • "List my AICredits API keys and their budgets."

Model recommendations are grounded in live data — the assistant reads current pricing and availability instead of guessing from stale training knowledge.

Notes

  • Manage or revoke your management keys any time from the Management API page. Full reference: Management API docs.
  • The server uses MCP streamable HTTP transport; SSE-only legacy clients are not supported.
