Cost-Controlled Tool Selector

Cost-Controlled Tool Selector MCP Connector for Claude

A+

A deterministic engine to select the most cost-effective tool variant based on accuracy requirements.

3 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides a deterministic decision engine for optimizing LLM workflows. It evaluates multiple tool variants by balancing execution cost (ms) against accuracy requirements. By using the select_optimal_variant tool, agents can identify the most economical option that still meets their specific performance thresholds, ensuring efficient resource usage without sacrificing quality.

Identifies the single best tool variant to use for a specific task based on efficiency and constraints

See how to talk to your AI agent using Cost-Controlled Tool Selector.

Find the best tool variant for a task requiring 0.85 accuracy from these options: [{'tool_name': 'fast_model', 'estimated_cost_ms': 100, 'estimated_accuracy': 0.80}, {'tool_name': 'balanced_model', 'estimated_cost_ms': 300, 'estimated_accuracy': 0.90}, {'tool_name': 'precise_model', 'estimated_cost_ms': 800, 'estimated_accuracy': 0.95}]

The selected variant is 'balanced_model' because it meets the 0.85 accuracy requirement with a cost of 300ms, which is lower than the 'precise_model' cost of 800ms.

Which tools are qualified if I need at least 0.7 accuracy? Variants: [{'tool_name': 'v1', 'estimated_cost_ms': 50, 'estimated_accuracy': 0.6}, {'tool_name': 'v2', 'estimated_cost_ms': 150, 'estimated_accuracy': 0.75}, {'tool_name': 'v3', 'estimated_cost_ms': 250, 'estimated_accuracy': 0.85}]

The qualified variants are 'v2' and 'v3'.

Compare the efficiency of 'cheap_tool' (cost: 50, accuracy: 0.5) and 'expensive_tool' (cost: 200, accuracy: 0.9).

The 'expensive_tool' is more efficient as it provides higher accuracy per unit of cost.

The engine first filters all variants to find those that meet the `min_accuracy` requirement. From that subset, it selects the variant with the lowest `estimated_cost_ms`. If costs are tied, it selects the one with higher accuracy.
