• 📊 Automatic Tracking - No manual token counting
• 💰 Accurate Pricing - Up-to-date pricing for all models (2025)
• 🔄 Multiple Providers - OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini support
• 📈 User Management - Track usage per user/session
• 🌐 Currency Support - USD and KRW
• 🤖 MCP Server - Use directly in Claude Desktop!
• 🆕 Intuitive Session Tracking - Real-time usage with progress bars

📦 Installation

npm install llm-token-tracker

🚀 Quick Start

Option 1: Use as Library

const { TokenTracker } = require('llm-token-tracker');
// or import { TokenTracker } from 'llm-token-tracker';

// Initialize tracker
const tracker = new TokenTracker({
  currency: 'USD' // or 'KRW'
});

// Example: Manual tracking
const trackingId = tracker.startTracking('user-123');

// ... your API call here ...

tracker.endTracking(trackingId, {
  provider: 'openai', // or 'anthropic' or 'gemini'
  model: 'gpt-3.5-turbo',
  inputTokens: 100,
  outputTokens: 50,
  totalTokens: 150
});

// Get user's usage
const usage = tracker.getUserUsage('user-123');
console.log(`Total cost: $${usage.totalCost}`);

🔧 With Real APIs

To use with actual OpenAI/Anthropic APIs:

const OpenAI = require('openai');
const { TokenTracker } = require('llm-token-tracker');

const tracker = new TokenTracker();
const openai = tracker.wrap(new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY
}));

// Use normally - tracking happens automatically
const response = await openai.chat.completions.create({
  model: "gpt-3.5-turbo",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello!" }]
});

console.log(response._tokenUsage);
// { tokens: 125, cost: 0.0002, model: "gpt-3.5-turbo" }

Option 2: Use as MCP Server

Add to Claude Desktop settings (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "token-tracker": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["llm-token-tracker"]
    }
  }
}

Then in Claude:

• "Calculate current session usage" - See current session usage with intuitive format
• "Calculate current conversation cost" - Get cost breakdown with input/output tokens
• "Track my API usage"
• "Compare costs between GPT-4 and Claude"
• "Show my total spending today"

   • Returns: Used/Remaining tokens, Input/Output breakdown, Cost, Progress bar
   • Default user_id: current-session
