### Description (declared)

# tbcontracts-mcp

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes
[`token-budget-contracts`](https://pypi.org/project/token-budget-contracts/)
as tools, so any MCP-aware client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor,
etc.) can manage token budgets across a multi-agent LLM system.

## What this actually does

Multi-agent orchestrators (a planner spawning a researcher, a writer, a
critic, ...) burn tokens unevenly. A high-priority agent can starve
mid-task while a low-priority agent sits on unused budget. This server's
one job is answering, in real time: **given these agents' priorities and
current spend, how should the remaining budget move right now?**

It does this by wrapping `token-budget-contracts`'
priority-weighted `Reallocator`: spare budget flows from idle or
lower-priority agents to whichever agent is actually starved, never
below a donor's protected minimum reserve, and never "uphill" from a
more important agent to a less important one.

This is **not** a cost-tracking dashboard or a network gateway. See
[Honest scope](#honest-scope) below.

## Install

```bash
pip install tbcontracts-mcp
```

This pulls in `token-budget-contracts>=0.3.0` and `opentelemetry-api` as
dependencies. Requires Python 3.10+ (see [Why not Python 3.9](#why-not-python-39)).

## Tools

| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| `register_agent` | Register an agent with a priority weight and initial token budget. |
| `record_spend` | Record raw input/output tokens an agent consumed for a task. Automatically triggers priority-weighted reallocation if the agent goes over budget. |
| `get_remaining_budget` | Look up one agent's current remaining budget, priority, and reserve. |
| `request_reallocation` | **The core tool.** Given an agent that needs more tokens right now, runs the real priority-weighted borrowing logic and returns a concrete plan: which agents gave up how much, which agent received it, and why each donor was eligible. |
| `get_budget_snapshot` | Full current state of every r…
