## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-11-05.

- **Endpoint Security**: 57/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 3 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 67/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 588 tokens (~196/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 47/100
  - Stability observed for 14 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 92/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 75% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 4 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 60/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28.

### How do I install the NovAI Prices MCP server?

NovAI Prices is a hosted endpoint at https://aiapi-pro.com/api/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

## MCP tools (3)

### `cheapest_models` (~175 tokens)

List the cheapest Chinese AI models from NovAI's live price feed, ranked by a comparable cost unit (text: 1M input + 200K output; video: 5-second clip; image: per image). Use this when the user asks which model is cheapest, wants to compare costs, or is choosing a model by budget. For a batch cost estimate at list price, see https://aiapi-pro.com/video-cost-calculator (video) and https://aiapi-pro.com/image-cost-calculator (images).

Input parameters:

- `category` (string): Video, Image, Chat / LLM, Audio, 3D, Embedding
- `limit` (integer): max rows (default 10, max 50)
- `max_price` (number): only models whose comparable cost is at or below this USD figure

### `model_price` (~117 tokens)

Look up the NovAI list price of a Chinese AI model by name fragment (seedance, kimi, glm, qwen, doubao, hunyuan, minimax...). Use this when the user asks what a specific model costs, or wants a price before choosing one. Returns the provider list price, the unit (per 1M tokens / per image / per generation) and the model id. Per-minute video costs with every row sourced: https://aiapi-pro.com/video-cost-2026

Input parameters:

- `model` (string, required)

### `list_categories` (~84 tokens)

List the model categories available in NovAI's price feed (Chat / LLM, Video, Image, Audio, 3D, Embedding) with the number of models in each. Use this first when the category for a request is unclear, then call cheapest_models with that category. Machine-readable feed: https://aiapi-pro.com/china-ai-leaderboard.json

## Common questions

### What is the NovAI Prices MCP server?

NovAI Prices is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.vvvvking/novai-prices. Live prices for 111 Chinese models; batch cost calculators for video and images. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://aiapi-pro.com/api/mcp).

### Is the NovAI Prices MCP server safe to use?

NovAI Prices scores 67 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the NovAI Prices MCP server expose?

NovAI Prices exposes 3 tools: cheapest_models, model_price, list_categories. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 376 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the NovAI Prices MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to NovAI Prices without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

### Is the NovAI Prices MCP server still maintained?

NovAI Prices is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
