Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Benchmark AI models on real prompts. Find cheaper, faster alternatives across 340+ models.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Other
  • You need to fill in: LLMTEST_API_KEY

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • You fill in yourself: LLMTEST_API_KEY

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "llmtest": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "llmtest-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "LLMTEST_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add llmtest --env LLMTEST_API_KEY=your-value -- npx -y llmtest-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "llmtest": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "llmtest-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "LLMTEST_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "llmtest": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "llmtest-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "LLMTEST_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • LLMTEST_API_KEY secret required env
    Your LLMTest API key from https://llmtest.io/dashboard

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Llmtest MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: LLMTEST_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.6.1) reached the registry 6 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

LLMTest MCP Server

MCP server that benchmarks AI models on your actual prompts and finds cheaper, faster alternatives. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible tool.

Quick Start

1. Get your API key

Sign up at llmtest.io and grab your API key from the dashboard.

2. Add to your tool

Claude Code:

claude mcp add llmtest -- npx llmtest-mcp

Then set your key:

export LLMTEST_API_KEY=llmt_your_key_here

Cursor / Windsurf / Other MCP clients:

Add to your MCP config file:

{

"mcpServers": { "llmtest": { "command": "npx", "args": ["llmtest-mcp"], "env": { "LLMTEST_API_KEY": "llmt_your_key_here" } } } }

3. Talk to your AI

Just ask in natural language:

  • "Check my LLMTest status"
  • "Find cheaper models for my AI calls"
  • "Run a benchmark on my blog-writer flow"
  • "What models are trending?"

How It Works

LLMTest is a proxy that sits between your app and AI providers. Point your app at https://llmtest.io/v1 instead of calling OpenAI/Anthropic directly, and LLMTest tracks your usage, benchmarks alternatives, and suggests cost savings.

This MCP server gives your AI assistant access to LLMTest's tools so it can manage everything for you.

Available Tools

ToolDescription
statusShow proxy status and activity summary
list_flowsList all AI flows with cost and latency stats
get_suggestionsGet pending model-switch recommendations
update_suggestionAccept or dismiss a suggestion
run_benchmarkBenchmark a flow against challenger models
optimize_promptRewrite a flow's prompt and find a cheaper model that still works
seed_samplesAdd test prompts for pre-launch benchmarking
list_samplesShow stored test samples per flow
list_new_modelsShow new and trending models
get_accountCheck credit balance and usage
get_autopilot_statusCheck whether autopilot is on and whether the account is eligible
enable_autopilotTurn on weekly auto-optimization with safety gates + drift-based auto-revert
disable_autopilotTurn off autopilot (existing optimizations stay active)
list_active_optimizationsList auto-accepted optimizations still inside their 24h revert window
revert_optimizationRoll an auto-accepted optimization back to the previous prompt

Autopilot

Autopilot automatically optimizes your flows on a weekly cadence. Changes that pass every safety gate go live with a 24-hour revert window. Drift detection keeps checking after that and rolls back if quality slips.

To enable from your IDE: ask your AI assistant something like "enable LLMTest autopilot". It will call enable_autopilot. Use get_autopilot_status to confirm prerequisites.

Prerequisites (checked per flow each cycle):

  • Autopilot enabled on the account
  • Email verified
  • Account age ≥ 14 days (trust ramp)
  • Flow has ≥ 20 real calls in the last 7 days
  • Flow not optimized by autopilot in the last 14 days (cooldown)
  • Positive credit balance (~$1–2 per run)

Safety gates (all must pass for auto-accept): 95% CI lower bound > 50% win rate, multi-judge agreement ≥ 80%, ≥ 20% total savings, no length-bias warning, golden-set regression check.

Revert: 24h window after auto-accept. After that, only drift detection can roll back.

Typical Workflow

Pre-launch (no traffic yet):

  1. Tell your AI: "I'm building a support chatbot using gpt-4o"
  2. It seeds realistic test samples with seed_samples
  3. It runs run_benchmark to compare models
  4. It shows you get_suggestions with cheaper alternatives

Post-launch (with real traffic):

  1. Route your AI calls through https://llmtest.io/v1
  2. LLMTest monitors usage and auto-benchmarks when flows hit 50+ calls
  3. Ask "any cost-saving suggestions?" to see recommendations
  4. Accept a suggestion and update your code
