Tessera MCP Server
Tessera's MCP server surfaces LLM cost optimization decisions directly in your AI editor. Install it in Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Cline, pass a TESSERA_API_KEY, and you get six tools: list workloads with their anchor costs, pull savings reports, check queued recommendations with expected lift, browse audit-immutable ledger entries, view quality snapshots with drift events, and approve a mechanic to move it from suggested to active. The read tools let agents diagnose spend, the single write tool lets them act on recommendations with an audit trail. It's designed for teams routing LLM calls through Tessera's proxy and need agents to surface what's drifting or where to switch providers without opening the dashboard.

Readme
tessera-mcp-server
The MCP server that returns money, not data.
Status: v0.1.3 — published 2026-05-27 on npm with sigstore SLSA provenance v1, listed on registry.modelcontextprotocol.io.
Tessera is an LLM proxy that optimizes API spend through multi-provider routing, prompt compression, audit-immutable logging, output-length prediction, and batch arbitrage. This package exposes Tessera as an MCP server for tool-using agents — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Continue, Goose, Zed.
Where other LLM-infrastructure MCP servers return logs, traces, or prompt metadata, this one returns savings decisions: what's drifting, what to switch, what to approve, what to audit.
