Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 767 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-11-25, serverInfo.name cheap-gpus.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 7 tools.

  • Pass
    Current protocol

    Negotiated 2025-11-25. The bar is 2025-06-18 or newer.

  • Pass
    HTTPS

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 767 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 767 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

  • Not measured
    Reliable (uptime)

    1 of 1 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Not measured
    Stable tool list

    Fewer than two successful probes in 30 days, so tool-list stability is not measured.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

  • Not measured
    Free tier cited

    No publisher quote has been checked.

Tools

  • Pass
    Tools described

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

  • Pass
    Valid input schemas

    Every inputSchema is a JSON Schema object.

  • Fail
    Parameters documented

    0 of 16 parameters have a description (0%). The bar is 80%.

  • Pass
    Safety hints

    Every tool sets readOnlyHint or destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass
    Verified namespace

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

  • Pass
    Website matches publisher

    The website host matches the reverse-domain namespace.

  • Fail
    Source repo linked

    No repository URL is on file.

  • Not measured
    Repo owner matches

    This namespace is not an io.github login, so the owner comparison does not apply.

  • Pass
    Recently updated

    Updated 2026-11-03T15:29:37.913453Z, within 180 days.

Capabilities

Tools 7

cheapest_gpu

Cheapest current rental offers for one GPU family (e.g. "H100", "RTX 5090", "b200"), in USD per GPU-hour, cheapest first, one row per provider. pricing_type is "on_demand" (default; can't be interrupted) or "spot" (cheaper, the provider can reclaim the machine). limit: 1-10.

Discovered
cheapest_model_route

Cheapest inference providers for one LLM (e.g. "deepseek-v3", "gpt-oss-120b"; use find_model if unsure of the name). Prices are USD per 1M tokens; estimated_cost_usd is for the given input/output token counts. One row per provider, cheapest first. limit: 1-10.

Discovered
find_model

Search the LLM catalog by name (e.g. "deepseek v3", "gpt-oss", "llama 70b"). Returns model slugs to pass to cheapest_model_route / gpus_needed_for_model, most widely offered first. limit: 1-10.

Discovered
gpu_price_forecast

Market-implied future rental price for one GPU family (USD per GPU-hour), from prediction markets (Kalshi, Polymarket) and ICE futures, plus today's compute-index benchmarks and cheap-gpus.com's own current median price. Covers H100, H200, B200, A100, RTX 5090 and RTX PRO 6000.

Discovered
gpu_price_history

Daily price history for one GPU family: each day's median across providers of each provider's cheapest offer (USD per GPU-hour). days: 1-90.

Discovered
gpus_needed_for_model

How many GPUs it takes to self-host an open-weight LLM at a given quantization, and the cheapest rental setups for it right now. quant is one of: fp16, bf16, fp8, mxfp8, int8, q6, fp6, q5, q4km, nvfp4, awq, mxfp4, gptq, int4, q3, q2, iq2, iq1. Estimates memory only (weights + 20% runtime overhead), not throughput. limit: 1-10.

Discovered
list_gpu_families

List every GPU family tracked on cheap-gpus.com, with VRAM, live cheapest on-demand price (USD per GPU-hour), and how many providers currently offer it.
