openclaw-cost-tracker-mcp

MCP server for AI agent token-cost telemetry — built for the operator who woke up to a surprise bill. Catches the failure modes vendor dashboards miss: silent re-routing to API billing (HERMES.md bug, 1,464 upvotes), unattended /loop overnight burns ($6k in 26 hours, real story), per-agent attribution buried behind aggregate provider totals, multi-day dashboard lag that surfaces the spike after the money is gone. Cross-provider: Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, Ollama, AWS Bedrock. Per-agent + per-provider attribution, spend-spike anomaly detection (per-agent median × threshold), cheaper-routing recommendations with 30-day savings estimates, monthly forecast. Reads any cost-log JSONL with the standard {request_id, timestamp, provider, model, agent_id, prompt_tokens, completion_tokens, cost_usd} schema. OpenClaw operators get native ~/.openclaw/cost-logs/ parsing; other deployments wrap their provider calls with the included logging shim or commission a Custom MCP Build adapter. Keywords: Claude API cost surprise, /loop overnight burn, HERMES.md billing routing, dashboard lag, AI agent FinOps, LLM cost attribution, token spend monitoring.

What it does

Production AI deployments are leaking money in ways the vendor dashboards don't surface in time. Real stories from the last 30 days on r/ClaudeAI:

A developer woke up to a $6,000 overnight burn from a single /loop command running 26 hours unattended on Claude Opus 4.7 (1,175 upvotes, 314 comments, May 1 2026). The Anthropic dashboard lagged by days; the spike was invisible until the limit email landed. Verbatim from the OP: "By the time it shows a spike, the money is already spent."

Another lost $200 because a string in a git commit silently routed Claude Code billing from Max subscription to API tier — the HERMES.md bug (1,464 upvotes, 202 comments). VENDOR-ACKNOWLEDGED: Om Patel @om_patel5 thread on X (1.4M views, 4.6K likes) elicited an Anthropic-side reply confirming "this was a bug with the 3rd party harness detection [and how we pull git status into the system prompt]" — i.e., it's a real bug in how Anthropic detects 3rd-party harnesses + ingests git context, not an isolated user error. Cost-tracker is the defense layer regardless of patch timing.

A third left a test loop running and woke up to a surprise $80 Claude bill. Verbatim: "No alerts. No cap. No warning. Just a bill."

A fourth got $1,800 in API charges in two days after the built-in claude-code-guide agent recommended a command that bypasses Max-plan billing.

In every case the dashboard lagged, the per-agent attribution was invisible, and Anthropic's own hard-cap mechanism either failed or arrived too late. This MCP server surfaces per-agent + per-provider cost attribution live, q
