## Description

Are your AI model costs a black box? This MCP gives you the full picture of how your product consumes AI resources. You can pinpoint exactly which feature is driving the highest costs, allowing you to move beyond simple usage counts and focus on actual dollar expenditure. If you need to know which parts of your application are costing the most, you can use the `get_feature_cost_breakdown` tool. Beyond cost, you can run an `analyze_usage_concentration` to see which features are the primary resource drivers. Need to cut costs? The `identify_optimization_targets` tool finds features that are expensive but rarely used, or where the model choice is inefficient. You can also check the `get_routing_efficiency_score` to ensure your system is picking the right model for the job. Connecting to this MCP through Vinkius lets your AI client access this deep financial and technical data, giving you the control you need to manage your AI spending.

## Tools

### get_feature_cost_breakdown
Calculates the precise dollar amount spent on every single product feature, giving you a clear financial picture.

### get_routing_efficiency_score
Scores how well your system matches specific tasks to the most efficient AI model, preventing overspending on powerful models when a smaller one would suffice.

### identify_optimization_targets
Flags features that are expensive but see little user activity, or where the model choice is clearly wasteful.

### analyze_usage_concentration
Determines which few features are responsible for the majority of your AI model consumption, helping you focus your efforts.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Show me the cost breakdown for the last month, focusing on image generation and summarization.
```

**Response:** 
```
Here is the cost breakdown for the last 30 days:

| Feature | Total Cost | Calls | Cost/Call |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| ImageGen-v3 | $1,500.00 | 5,000 | $0.30 |
| Summarizer-Pro | $850.00 | 15,000 | $0.056 |

*Insight: ImageGen is the primary cost driver. Consider optimizing the input resolution.*
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Which features are consuming the most AI resources right now?
```

**Response:** 
```
The primary drivers of consumption are:

*   **Summarizer-Pro:** 65% of total calls (15,000 calls).
*   **Chat-v2:** 20% of total calls (4,000 calls).
*   **ImageGen-v3:** 15% of total calls (3,500 calls).

This confirms that summarization needs the most attention for optimization efforts.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Are there any optimization opportunities for my features?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, I found a few targets:

1.  **Legacy-Parser:** High cost ($150/mo) but low engagement (2% of users). Recommendation: Deprecate or switch to a cheaper model.
2.  **Chat-v2:** Routing score is 0.7. Recommendation: The system should use a smaller model for simple greetings to save 10-15% on costs.
```

## Capabilities

### Calculate cost per product feature
Determine the exact monetary cost associated with every individual feature in your application.

### Identify resource consumption hotspots
Pinpoint which features are the main drivers of AI model usage across your entire product suite.

### Find cost-saving opportunities
Locate features that are high-cost but low-engagement, or where the current model selection is wasteful.

### Evaluate model routing efficiency
Measure how effectively your system selects the best model for specific tasks, ensuring optimal performance and cost.

## Use Cases

### The 'Black Box' Cost Problem
The CTO notices that AI costs are skyrocketing, but the engineering team can't tell if it's Feature A or Feature B. They ask their agent to run `analyze_usage_concentration` and immediately see that 70% of the cost comes from one specific, overlooked feature, allowing them to redirect resources.

### Optimizing Model Selection
A PM wants to reduce monthly spend. They ask their agent to check the `get_routing_efficiency_score` and discover that the system is using a top-tier model for simple data validation tasks. They can now implement a cheaper, dedicated model.

### Killing Zombie Features
The team suspects an old feature is wasting money. They run `identify_optimization_targets` and the report flags a 'legacy-parser' feature as high-cost but zero-engagement, proving it needs to be deprecated immediately.

### Budgeting for New Features
Before launching a new module, the Product Manager uses `get_feature_cost_breakdown` to model the expected cost increase, ensuring the new feature fits within the quarterly budget.

## Benefits

- Stop guessing about costs. Use `get_feature_cost_breakdown` to know the exact dollar amount spent on every feature, eliminating financial guesswork.
- Focus your engineering efforts. `analyze_usage_concentration` tells you which features are the biggest resource drains, so you know where to prioritize fixes.
- Cut waste immediately. `identify_optimization_targets` finds high-cost, low-engagement features, giving you immediate targets for cost reduction.
- Improve performance and save money. The `get_routing_efficiency_score` ensures your system uses the smallest, most efficient model for every task.
- Make cost decisions, not guesses. By combining these tools, you get a full financial picture that drives smarter product development.

## How It Works

The bottom line is that you get a clear, actionable report showing exactly where your AI money is going and how you can spend less.

1. Your AI client calls the MCP, specifying the time range and features you want to analyze.
2. The MCP runs the necessary calculations, aggregating usage data and model costs across your product.
3. You receive a structured report detailing cost breakdowns, usage concentrations, and actionable optimization scores.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does AI Model Usage Analytics help me manage AI costs?**
It gives you a clear, financial view of your AI spending. Instead of just seeing usage numbers, you see the dollar cost for every feature, letting you pinpoint exactly where your money is going.

**Can I find out which feature is wasting the most money?**
Yes. By running the optimization targets tool, you can identify features that are expensive but rarely used, giving you concrete areas to cut spending.

**Is this better than just looking at my cloud bill?**
Absolutely. Your cloud bill is raw data. This MCP analyzes that data, connecting usage patterns to specific product features and suggesting actionable fixes, which you can't do with a bill alone.

**Does AI Model Usage Analytics help me with model selection?**
Yes. It evaluates your model routing efficiency, telling you if you're using the right model for the job. This prevents overspending by ensuring you use the smallest, most capable model needed.

**What if I launch a new feature? How do I predict its cost?**
You can use the cost breakdown tool to model the expected cost increase before launch. This lets you bake cost management into your product roadmap, preventing budget surprises.

**How does this tool help reduce AI costs?**
By using `identify_optimization_targets`, you can find features where high costs don't match user engagement, allowing you to switch to more efficient models.

**Can I see which features are using the most models?**
Yes, the `analyze_usage_concentration` tool identifies which features are the primary drivers of AI model consumption.

**How is routing efficiency measured?**
The `get_routing_efficiency_score` tool compares the actual cost incurred by a feature against the theoretical minimum cost of using the most efficient model for that task.
