# How are you tracking credit usage and costs when experimenting with Context.dev APIs?

I like how Context.dev unifies web search and content retrieval for AI-powered development workflows, and the API plus MCP integration make it easy to connect external info to coding agents. It’s helped reduce the need to build and maintain separate integrations and cuts down on repetitive manual work. The main challenge for me is unclear credit usage and pricing, and I’d love more usage analytics, cost estimates, and ready-to-use integration examples. How are others monitoring spend and optimizing usage while testing different features?

I’m in the same boat: the API-first setup is great for feeding external web data into AI coding agents, but it’s hard to optimize when credit consumption isn’t transparent across endpoints. I’d really like more detailed usage analytics plus estimated costs before running requests, so experimenting doesn’t feel like guesswork. More practical, end-to-end examples for agent integrations, MCP configs, and automated pipelines would also make it easier to standardize workflows across multiple projects.
