What is this?
24K Labs MCP Server gives any AI assistant access to six specialized code analysis tools through the Model Context Protocol. Each tool calls the 24K Labs API, which routes your request to the right Claude model for the job -- Haiku for speed, Sonnet for depth, Opus for the hard stuff.
It works anywhere MCP works:
- Claude Code (CLI)
- Cursor
- VS Code (via Copilot Chat MCP support)
- Any MCP-compatible client
One pip install. One config block. Six tools ready to go.
Features

Tool Reference
explain_code
Get a clear, structured explanation of what code does.
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Model | Claude Haiku |
| Price | $0.01 / quick -- $0.02 / standard -- $0.05 / pro |
Parameters:
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
code |
string |
Yes | The code to explain |
language |
string |
No | Programming language (auto-detected if omitted) |
context |
string |
No | Additional context about the code |
tier |
string |
No | quick, standard (default), or pro |
Example usage in Claude Code:
> Use explain_code to explain this Python function:
def memoize(func):
cache = {}
def wrapper(*args):
if args not in cache:
cache[args] = func(*args)
return cache[args]
return wrapper
Example output (abbreviated):
This is a memoization decorator that caches function results.
Purpose: Avoids redundant computation by storing previously computed
results in a dictionary keyed by the function arguments.
How it works:
1. Creates a closure with a `cache` dict
2. On each call, checks if args are already cached
3. If not cached, calls the original function and stores the result
4. Returns the cached result
Edge cases to watch:
- Only works with hashable arguments (no lists/dicts as args)
- Cache grows unbounded -- no eviction policy
- Not thread-safe
debug_assist

Tiers Explained
Every tool accepts a tier parameter that controls analysis depth:
| Tier | Depth | Speed | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
quick |
Surface-level scan | ~2-5s | Quick sanity checks, simple questions |
standard |
Thorough analysis | ~5-15s | Day-to-day code review and debugging (default) |
pro |
Exhaustive deep-dive | ~15-45s | Production releases, security sign-offs, architecture decisions |
The pro tier uses more tokens and produces longer, more detailed output. Use it when the stakes are high.
Payment
How x402 Works
24K Labs uses the x402 protocol for machine-to-machine payments. When a request requires payment, the API returns a 402 Payment Required response with the price in USDC on Base L2.
Dev Mode (Free)
By default, the server runs in dev mode -- requests pass through without payment so you can test everything. The X-Payment: dev-mode header is sent automatically.
To switch to production, set your API key:
export TWENTYFOURK_API_KEY="your-api-key"

FAQ
Do I need an API key to try it?
No. The server runs in dev mode by default, which sends requests without payment. Set TWENTYFOURK_API_KEY when you're ready for production use.
What models are used?
explain_code uses Claude Haiku for speed. debug_assist, code_review, and automation_script use Claude Sonnet for depth. security_audit and mcp_blueprint use Claude Opus for the highest quality analysis.
Is my code sent to a third party?
Your code is sent to the 24K Labs API (api.24klabs.ai), which routes it to Anthropic's Claude API. No code is stored, logged, or used for training. See the privacy policy for details.
What languages are supported?
All of them. The tools auto-detect the programming language from the code you provide. You can also pass language explicitly for better results.
What's the request timeout?
120 seconds. If your code snippet is very large, consider breaking it into smaller pieces or using the quick tier.
