⚡ MegaPad CLI & Native MCP Server

Run Claude, ChatGPT, DeepSeek & Gemini in Parallel

Scientific Multi-Model Benchmarking & Token Cost Slasher for Claude Code, Cursor, and Terminal.

Quickstart · Token & Cost Analytics · Claude Code / Cursor · Piping Support

⚡ Quickstart

Run a multi-model comparison on any coding problem in one command (no install required):

npx megapad compare "How do I optimize this query?"

Executes across your available models in parallel and displays latency, generation speed (tok/s), exact token metrics, and cost savings vs Claude.

🤖 Claude Code & Cursor Integration

Add MegaPad directly into your AI coding agent as a Native Model Context Protocol (MCP) server:

1-Click Auto Configurator

npx megapad install

Auto-detects and writes config for Claude Code (~/.claude.json), Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json), and Codex CLI (~/.codex/config.toml).

Or Add Directly to Claude Code

claude mcp add megapad -- npx -y megapad

Try These Inside Claude:

• "Compare Claude Fable 5.1 vs DeepSeek V4.1 on this algorithm"
• "Consult DeepSeek R1 for a second opinion on this database schema"
• "Run a multi-model code review council on this file with GPT-6 Astra & Gemini 3.8"

📊 Scientific Benchmarks

Every query gives you high-resolution latency, tokens per second, and dollar cost comparisons:

| Provider / Model | Status | Latency | Speed | Cost (USD) | vs Claude Cost | | :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | | DeepSeek V4.1 Flash | ✔ OK | 890ms | 185 tok/s | $0.00010 | ⚡ 98% Cheaper | | Gemini 3.8 Flash | ✔ OK | 940ms | 145 tok/s | $0.00000 | 🎉 100% Free ($0) | | ChatGPT (Subscription) | ✔ OK | 820ms | 125 tok/s | $0.00000 | 🎉 $0 Extra (Sub) | | GPT-6 Astra / Sol | ✔ OK | 1,020ms | 130 tok/s | $0.00280 | ⚡ 30% Cheaper | | Claude Fable 5.1 / Sonnet 5 | ✔ OK | 1,140ms | 110 tok/s | $0.00400 | Base (100%) |

🛠️ Pipe Any Input

Pipe terminal output, compiler errors, or git diffs directly into MegaPad:

# Diagnose error logs across multiple models
cat error.log | npx megapad "Diagnose this failure"

# Multi-model review of your git staging
git diff --staged | npx megapad "Review these changes for race conditions"

🔑 Subscriptions & API Keys

MegaPad automatically detects your existing CLI subscriptions and local environment keys:

• ChatGPT / OpenAI: Reads your local Codex login session or OPENAI_API_KEY.
• Claude: Uses your active Claude Code session or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY.
• DeepSeek: Reads DEEPSEEK_API_KEY (from environment or ~/.env).
• Gemini: Free tier quota (15 RPM free forever) or GEMINI_API_KEY.
• Local Models: Connects to local Ollama / LM Studio on http://localhost:11434.
