An MCP server that answers one question well: which Chinese AI model is cheapest for what I'm doing right now?
It reads NovAI's live price feed (https://aiapi-pro.com/china-ai-leaderboard.json) and normalizes every model into a comparable cost unit, because every provider quotes a different one:
| Modality | Unit the market quotes | Unit this server uses |
|---|---|---|
| Chat / LLM | per 1M input, per 1M output | 1M input + 200K output (one large coding run) |
| Video | per second, per generation, per 1M tokens | one 5-second clip (token-billed models are converted) |
| Image | per image, per generation | one image |
Prices are the providers' list price passed through with a 1.0 multiplier and 0% platform markup — the server reports the rate card, not a sales number.
Tools

Price comparison for Chinese models is broken: one vendor quotes per second, another per token, a third per generation. Converting them by hand is error-prone, and every gateway's marketing page has an incentive to make its own numbers look good. This server just converts and sorts, and links to the machine-readable feed so the numbers can be checked.
Data freshness
The feed is regenerated daily from the live model catalog. generated_at is included in the JSON; if the upstream feed is unreachable the tool returns an error rather than stale numbers.
