Token Counter and Budget Enforcer MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Estimates token usage and enforces strict cumulative budget limits for AI agents.

3 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides precise token estimation and budget management for AI agents. It uses deterministic BPE approximation to calculate token counts for text and code, ensuring predictable resource tracking. The server tracks cumulative usage per agent and per conversation, allowing for strict enforcement of token limits. Use estimate_tokens to predict costs, track_and_enforce_usage to record consumption and check against limits, or get_usage_summary to view current totals. It is ideal for managing LLM costs and preventing budget overruns in multi-agent systems.

3 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

estimate_tokens

Calculates the estimated token count for a provided text string

track_and_enforce_usage

Updates the cumulative usage for an agent and a conversation, then checks against set limits

get_usage_summary

Retrieves current cumulative totals without consuming new tokens

See how to talk to your AI agent using Token Counter and Budget Enforcer.

How many tokens will this sentence use: 'Hello, how are you today?'

The estimated token count for that sentence is 6 tokens.

Estimate the tokens for this code: 'print("hello")'

The estimated token count for that code snippet is 4 tokens.

What is the current usage for agent_123?

Agent_123 has consumed a total of 1,250 tokens.

Tokens are estimated using a deterministic character-to-token ratio: approximately 4 characters per token for English text and 3.5 characters per token for code blocks.
