agent-usage
Exposes rate-limit and usage data for AI coding agent CLIs as MCP tools, enabling querying of usage snapshots and reset times.
README
agent-usage
Tracks rate-limit / usage data for AI coding agent CLIs (Claude Code, Codex CLI, Antigravity, GitHub Copilot CLI, ...) over time, tells you when each window next resets, and exposes the history over HTTP and MCP, plus a small dashboard.
Why
None of these CLIs currently expose their quota through a machine-readable
flag — the only place the numbers show up is an interactive /usage or
/status screen. This project drives that screen inside a disposable tmux
session, parses it, and records it, so you get a queryable history instead of
a number you have to read off a TUI by hand.
One exception: Copilot's /usage screen shows a percentage but never a reset
time. GitHub's docs say the included AI-credit allowance always resets at
00:00 UTC on the 1st of the month regardless of subscription date, so that
provider computes resetsAt directly instead of parsing it — see
src/domain/reset-time.ts's nextUtcMonthStart.
Features
- Periodic sampling of every registered provider, stored as a time series in SQLite (via Prisma) — not just the latest reading.
- Resolves each provider's raw "resets in..." text into an absolute timestamp, so you can ask "when does this actually reset" instead of doing the math yourself.
- HTTP API (
/api/providers,/api/usage/latest,/api/usage/history,/api/usage/next-resets) and an MCP server exposing the same data as tools, so both scripts and agents can read it. - A dependency-free static dashboard (plain HTML/CSS/TS, hand-rolled SVG charts) served by the same HTTP server.
- New providers are a config object + a parser function away — see
docs/providers.md.
Quickstart
bun install
cp .env.example .env
bun run db:migrate:dev # creates prisma/migrations + the local SQLite db
bun run build:frontend # bundles frontend/main.ts -> frontend/main.js
bun run dev # daemon: sampler loop + HTTP API + dashboard
# or, one-off:
bun run sample -- --provider claude
# or, for an MCP client:
bun run src/cli/index.ts mcp
The dashboard is served at http://localhost:7979/ by default (see
HTTP_PORT / SAMPLE_INTERVAL_SECONDS in .env.example).
bun run dev shells out to the real claude/codex/agy/copilot CLIs on
your machine (via tmux) — only run it where you actually want that.
Deployment modes
By default daemon is all-in-one: local SQLite database + HTTP API/dashboard
- sampler, all in one process — this is what
bun run devruns.
It can also split into a central server (owns the database, serves read/write HTTP, no CLI dependencies of its own) and one or more standalone collectors (each just captures and pushes to the server, no database or HTTP server of its own). This is useful when you'd rather isolate the credential-bearing CLI processes from the server — e.g. one lightweight collector per provider, each only needing that one CLI's credentials.
# server: owns the database, accepts pushes, serves the dashboard.
# --no-sample makes it a pure server (no CLI/tmux use at all) for hosts
# with none of the agent CLIs installed; omit it to also sample locally.
INGEST_TOKEN=some-shared-secret bun run src/cli/index.ts daemon --no-sample
# collector: only samples codex, pushes to the server, no local database
INGEST_SERVER_URL=http://server-host:7979 \
INGEST_TOKEN=some-shared-secret \
bun run src/cli/index.ts daemon --provider codex
INGEST_TOKEN is an optional shared-secret bearer token — set it on both
sides to require it, or leave it unset for an unauthenticated ingest endpoint
(fine on a trusted network; put a real auth layer in front otherwise, which
neither the server nor its collectors need to know about).
How it works
- Capture (
src/capture/tmux.ts): launches a provider's CLI in a disposable tmux session, sends its usage slash-command, and captures the rendered pane text once it settles. - Parse (
src/providers/*/parse.ts): a small regex-based parser per provider turns that captured text into a provider-neutralUsageSnapshot(seesrc/domain/types.ts). - Store (
src/storage/sink.ts): each snapshot goes to aSnapshotSink— either a direct Prisma write (createLocalSink) or a push to a remote server's ingest endpoint (createRemoteSink, insrc/daemon/), depending on the deployment mode (see below). Local writes persist aSamplewith itsWindows viasrc/storage/repository.ts. - Serve:
src/server/http.ts(REST) andsrc/mcp/server.ts(MCP tools) both read from the same repository layer, regardless of which collectors fed it.
See docs/architecture.md for more detail, and
docs/providers.md for how to add a new agent CLI.
Development
bun run typecheck # backend + frontend (two separate tsconfigs; the
# frontend one adds DOM lib for browser globals)
bun run lint
bun test
Tests that touch storage/HTTP/MCP spin up their own throwaway SQLite file via
prisma db push in beforeAll — no shared or checked-in test database.
