Volthq Server

The compute price oracle for AI agents.

What it does

• Compares pricing across 9 providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, Together AI, DeepInfra, Fireworks AI, Cerebras, Hyperbolic, Akash) — 200+ offerings with live API pricing
• Recommends optimal routing — tells your agent where to get the same quality for less, with savings estimates
• Tracks spend and budgets — spending summaries by provider/model, savings reports, and threshold alerts

Install

Auto-configure Cursor and Claude Desktop in one command:

npx volthq-mcp-server --setup

Detects installed clients, merges config without overwriting your existing MCP servers.

Telemetry

Volt collects anonymous usage metadata by default to improve routing recommendations. This includes: provider name, model name, tool response time, and success/failure status.

What is never collected: prompts, outputs, API keys, token counts, or any user-identifiable content. IPs are hashed and truncated server-side.

To opt out, set the environment variable:

VOLT_OBSERVATIONS=false
