An AI cost dashboard that shows each person their own spend
Token costs pulled from the AI platform’s admin portal through MCP into a live web app. Everyone sees their own usage; admins can filter by person.
The problem
Once a whole company is using AI, someone will ask what it costs and who’s using it. That data sits in the AI platform’s admin portal, and only admins can open it.
How it works
- Admin console
Token costs for every user live in the platform’s admin portal.
- MCP
I connect the admin portal as an MCP server so the data can be pulled directly.
- Web app
A repository deployed on Vercel connects to the APIs and serves the dashboard.
- Views
Each person sees their own costs. Admins can filter by person.
Private by default
When you sign in, you see your own token costs and nobody else’s. Admins get a filter to look at any one person.
Why a live app
Most of the dashboards I build are web apps. That way the dashboard is ever-living. Nobody has to rebuild it every time someone wants an update.
Status
This is my newest project, and it’s in progress.
