Private and secure by default

Scoreboards are scoped to your organization and protected by role-based access control. Only owners, admins, and authorized members can view rankings. Workspace member names stay inside this private internal view. The public leaderboard uses aliases only. It never uses real names, account names, or emails.

Trust & Privacy

Security-first by design

Whether you connect via Admin API keys, wrapped proxy keys, or MCP telemetry — your credentials are encrypted, we do not store prompt or code content, and you control what gets shared.

Connect local tools

One command authenticates your machine and installs the CostHawk MCP for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Gemini CLI.

npm exec --yes costhawk@latest -- --login
CompatibleClaude CodeOpenAI Codex CLICursorGemini CLI

AES-256 key encryption

Admin API keys are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. We never store or see your keys in plaintext.

Wrapped key isolation

Proxy your API calls through CostHawk. Your real provider keys never touch your codebase or client devices.

Local-first parsing

MCP telemetry is computed locally from supported developer-tool data directories before anything leaves your machine.

No prompt storage

We only persist usage metadata: token counts, models, timestamps, and hashed project IDs. Prompt and code content is never stored.

Preview before upload

Dry-run syncs show exactly what would be sent, with payload previews and optional file lists for full transparency.

Opt-in auto-sync

Automatic uploads are off by default. Enable with COSTHAWK_AUTO_SYNC=true and disable Codex sync anytime.

Ask CostHawk

Give leaders a live AI cost analyst.

CostHawk's MCP turns your AI assistant into an authorized reporting surface for usage, savings, anomaly detection, pricing, alert, and ROI questions. CTOs get answers in plain language; the dashboard remains the system of record.

Want the full tool map?

The CostHawk MCP server exposes 22 tools for usage reporting, local sync, savings analysis, anomaly detection, alerts, pricing, proxy setup, ROI, and workspace guardrails.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is CostHawk?+
CostHawk is an AI adoption monitoring platform for engineering teams. It tracks who on your team is using AI tools, how much they cost, and how adoption is trending — across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and other providers.
How does CostHawk track AI adoption across my team?+
CostHawk supports three integration methods: MCP telemetry for local AI-tool activity and assistant-accessible reports, admin API sync for organization-wide provider cost data, or wrapped proxy keys that sit between your code and the provider.
What can CostHawk's MCP server do for leadership teams?+
CostHawk's MCP server lets authorized leaders and operators ask their AI assistant for usage summaries, savings analysis, cost anomalies, live model pricing, budget alerts, webhooks, local sync, and ROI reports. It is the conversational layer on top of the same CostHawk data in the dashboard.
How are team benchmarks kept private?+
Yes. Team Benchmarks are scoped to your organization and protected by role-based access control. Workspace member names are visible only to authorized members. The public leaderboard uses aliases only. It never uses real names, account names, or emails.
What providers does CostHawk support?+
OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, Mistral, Cohere, DeepSeek, Groq, Meta, Perplexity, Together, AWS Bedrock, and Azure OpenAI. We add new providers regularly.
What data does CostHawk see — and not see?+
CostHawk stores telemetry metadata: token counts, model names, and timestamps. We never see, store, or process your prompts, responses, or code.
How do I get started?+
Sign up, invite your team, and connect via MCP telemetry or admin API keys. The entire setup takes under 5 minutes.
