What you can do with DeepInfra in Claude and ChatGPT

For developers and ML engineers who run models and dedicated GPU deployments on DeepInfra.

Check spend and token usage for a billing period

The AI reads spend for a billing period and token usage per model. It also reads GPU rental usage for a time range and lists invoices, so you see where the cost comes from.

Find models and compare their price and context length

The AI lists the model catalog and reads one model entry with its pricing, context length and capabilities. You can compare models for a task such as embeddings.

Check how a dedicated deployment is doing

The AI reads a dedicated deployment with its config and status, plus time-series stats for throughput, latency and replicas. It can also query the request logs of a time window.

Check GPU availability and hardware for a deployment

The AI reads which GPUs can be provisioned for LLM deployments now, and the hardware options for a given model. It helps you plan a new deployment.

Start or stop a dedicated deployment

The AI stops a running dedicated deployment to end GPU charges, or starts a stopped one. Starting a deployment may add GPU charges while it runs.

How do I connect DeepInfra?

Before you connect

The login page asks for your DeepInfra API key.

Create one in DeepInfra → Settings → API. Your token is used only to call the API on your behalf and to derive a private account id; it is never shown to anyone.

Claude claude.ai · Desktop

  1. Open Customize → Connectors, then click + Add → Add custom connector.
  2. Enter the name DeepInfra and this URL, then click Add:
    https://deepinfra.usefulapi.io/mcp
  3. Claude opens the login page: enter your DeepInfra API key.
  4. In a chat, click + → Connectors and turn on DeepInfra.

Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.

ChatGPT chatgpt.com

  1. Open Plugins, click +, then Add custom MCP server.
  2. Enter the name DeepInfra and this URL, choose OAuth as the authentication, confirm the warning and create it:
    https://deepinfra.usefulapi.io/mcp
  3. ChatGPT opens the login page: enter your DeepInfra API key.
  4. In Plugins, install DeepInfra, then choose it in a chat.

No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.

Claude Code

Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:

claude mcp add --transport http deepinfra https://deepinfra.usefulapi.io/mcp

Cursor

Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "deepinfra": {
      "url": "https://deepinfra.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "deepinfra": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://deepinfra.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Codex

Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:

codex mcp add deepinfra --url https://deepinfra.usefulapi.io/mcp
codex mcp login deepinfra

Other clients

Windsurf, Cline, Zed and other MCP clients: add this URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser.

https://deepinfra.usefulapi.io/mcp

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your DeepInfra API key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.

Each paid plan covers this DeepInfra server only. Ask your AI to run deepinfra_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. The change requires your confirmation, keeps your billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. Cancel any time with deepinfra_cancel_subscription: your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and asking to resume the same plan with deepinfra_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].

Your usefulapi plan · 4

  • Usage status (free-tier meter)deepinfra_usage_status
    Report the caller's current usage: the plan, calls used this month, the limit of the plan (the free monthly cap or the Pro fair use limit), remaining, and whether the limit is reached. Read-only; does not count against the meter.
  • Request a missing featuredeepinfra_request_feature
    Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the DeepInfra tools cannot do yet (a missing tool, field or filter). Call it only when the user asks for something none of the tools can do, and tell the user that you send the request. Do not call it for errors or for normal requests. Do not include personal data, credentials or customer records. Stored with the product name and the client type (for example Claude or Cursor), without the user's account. At most 5 requests per day. Does not count against the meter.
  • Upgrade to Pro or Pro+deepinfra_upgrade
    Get a paid plan for DeepInfra (the free tier caps monthly usage). Pro: 10,000 tool calls a month, for normal use — plan "monthly" ($9/month) or "yearly" ($90/year, 2 months free). Pro+: 100,000 tool calls a month, for automations and heavy use — plan "plus" ($39/month) or "plus_yearly" ($390/year). Without a plan it returns both Pro and Pro+, each with a payment link, for the user to choose; with a plan, one link. An existing Pro subscription changes to Pro+ in place (needs confirm: true; the price difference for the rest of the period is charged at once). Cancel any time: the plan then runs to the end of the paid period, so it also suits a one-time job. A link opens Stripe Checkout in the browser; after payment the account upgrades automatically. Does not count against the meter.
  • Cancel the Pro subscriptiondeepinfra_cancel_subscription
    Cancel the caller's DeepInfra Pro subscription at the end of the paid period (no refund for the current period; Pro continues until then, then the free tier applies). Requires confirm: true. Run deepinfra_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.

FAQ

What can I do with DeepInfra in Claude or ChatGPT?

Check spend and token usage for a billing period. Find models and compare their price and context length. Check how a dedicated deployment is doing. Check GPU availability and hardware for a deployment. Start or stop a dedicated deployment. See what you can do for the details.

Is this an official DeepInfra product?

No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by DeepInfra. The server calls the DeepInfra API with your own DeepInfra access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.

Can I connect DeepInfra to Claude or ChatGPT?

Yes. In Claude, add this server's URL as a custom connector. In ChatGPT, add it as a custom MCP server in Plugins. Then log in once. Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code and Codex work too. See the setup steps.

What do I need to connect?

The login page asks for your DeepInfra API key. See Before you connect for where to find it.

Do I put my DeepInfra key or an Authorization header in the client config?

No. Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your DeepInfra API key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.

How do you keep my DeepInfra credentials?

The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the DeepInfra API for you and to derive a private account id for usage metering. usefulapi does not show them on any page or in any reply. To stop all access, remove the connector and change or delete these credentials in DeepInfra.

Can the AI change my DeepInfra data?

Yes, if you approve it. 2 of the 18 DeepInfra tools can create or change data. The other 16 are marked read-only. Most MCP clients ask you to approve a tool call before it runs.

What does it cost?

The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with 10,000 tool calls / month. Pro+ costs $39/mo or $390/yr, with 100,000 tool calls / month. Each subscription covers this DeepInfra server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run deepinfra_usage_status to see how many calls you used.

How do I subscribe or cancel?

Ask the AI to run deepinfra_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. After you confirm, your existing subscription changes in place, keeps its billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. To cancel, run deepinfra_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.

What if a DeepInfra tool that I need is missing?

Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with deepinfra_request_feature. We store the text with the server name, the type of AI client and the tool you tried, not with your account, and read every request when we plan new tools. You can send up to 5 requests per day.

Which AI clients can I use?

Any client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth login: Claude (web and desktop), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and others.

This is a Model Context Protocol endpoint — meant to be connected from an AI client, not opened in a browser. An invalid_token response at the URL is the auth gate working as designed; clients authenticate automatically.
