AI Wave
AI model releases, price changes and deprecations in one feed: chat, embedding, speech, video.
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
claude mcp add --transport http ai-wave 'https://aiwave.elopstudio.com/api/mcp' --header 'Authorization: <Optional. Bearer <API key> for more than 100 calls/day per IP. Free key at https://aiwave.elopstudio.com/member (1,000 calls/day).>'{

Documentation
From the project's README on GitHub, refreshed weekly. Links open on GitHub.
@elopstudio/ai-wave-mcp
MCP server for AI Wave — a normalized feed of AI model releases, price changes, API changes and deprecations, assembled from vendor release notes, Hugging Face, the OpenRouter catalog and GitHub.
Why
Picking a model? Call the OpenRouter catalog directly — it is free and public.
This is for the other question: did anything I depend on change? New releases, price moves, and models being withdrawn, in one feed, deduplicated per model, each marked official or pending review.
Setup
Get a key at https://aiwave.elopstudio.com/member, then:
{
"mcpServers": {
"ai-wave": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@elopstudio/ai-wave-mcp"],
"env": { "AIWAVE_API_KEY": "aiw_live_..." }
}
}
}If your client supports remote MCP, prefer that — no install, always current:
{
"mcpServers": {
"ai-wave": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://aiwave.elopstudio.com/api/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer aiw_live_..." }
}
}
}Tools
| Tool | What it answers |
|---|---|
list_model_changes | What changed since I last checked? Poll with since, feed back latest. |
get_model | Price, context and catalog status for one model (OpenRouter or Hugging Face id). |
search_models | Which models fit this budget and context, ordered by current attention? |
Limits
Free tier: 1,000 calls/day. Remaining calls come back in x-ratelimit-remaining.
This package is a thin stdio wrapper around the remote endpoint — tool definitions live on the server, so you get new tools without updating it.

It runs as a remote server. In Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http ai-wave 'https://aiwave.elopstudio.com/api/mcp' --header 'Authorization: <Optional. Bearer <API key> for more than 100 calls/day per IP. Free key at https://aiwave.elopstudio.com/member (1,000 calls/day).>'. For other clients, paste the JSON configuration from this page into their MCP settings.
Does AI Wave need an API key?
Yes. It expects AIWAVE_API_KEY, Authorization, which you set in its configuration.
Is AI Wave open source?
Yes. Its code is on GitHub under the MIT license.
Who maintains AI Wave?
It is published by elopstudio. AI.tn lists it but does not maintain or endorse it.
From the official MCP Registry. Listing is not an endorsement: review a server's code and permissions before giving it access to your data.
