Overview For finance teams For engineering teams

Use FLOPS in 10 Minutes

Settlement-grade GPU compute price indices, delivered through whichever surface fits how you work — a spreadsheet cell, an agent on Claude or Cursor, or a one-line cURL. Every published value carries a cryptographic receipt your code can verify.

1 Excel / Google Sheets — formula in a cell 2 min

The fastest path for finance teams already in a spreadsheet. The add-in registers =FLOPS.PRICE() for the current public reference price of any index.

=FLOPS.PRICE("FLOPS-H100-OD")
→ 6.155
Verify any value: every published price carries a methodology_version and is re-derivable — confirm with GET /v1/verify?index_id=FLOPS-H100-OD. A partner/pilot tier with deeper feeds + tools (history, audit replay, contract language) is available — contact partners@flopsindex.com.
2 MCP — Claude Code · Cursor · Windsurf · ChatGPT desktop 3 min

The agent path. flopsindex-mcp is on PyPI and the public server exposes 5 tools over MCP — list_indices, get_index, get_price, search_indices, and verify — so your agent answers "what's the H100 price?" or "verify this value" without leaving the chat. Auth-free, no key required.

Install

pip install flopsindex-mcp

Wire to Claude Code (or any MCP host)

// ~/.config/claude-code/mcp.json  (or Cursor settings)
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "flopsindex": {
      "command": "flopsindex-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Hosted gateway alternative

Don't want to manage a local process? Point the host at https://app.flopsindex.com/mcp — it speaks the MCP transport directly, no install required.

Try it

  • "What's the current H100 on-demand index?"
  • "Search for B200 spot indices."
  • "Verify that FLOPS-H100-OD is currently 6.15."
  • "What inference token price indices are published?"
3 REST — any HTTP client, any language 5 min

The lowest-level path. The auth-free public surface serves the current global reference price for each published index — no signup.

? Common questions
Is the public surface really auth-free?
Yes. The current global reference price (GET /v1/price/{slug}), search, verify, the citation page /i/{slug}, and the public catalog need no signup and no key. A partner/pilot tier with deeper feeds + tools is available — contact partners@flopsindex.com.
What does "k-anonymity ≥ 3" mean?
Every published value reflects at least 3 independent source quotes. This protects contributor confidentiality (no single source can be back-derived from the published value) and aligns with IOSCO Principle 7.
How do I verify a published value?
Call GET /v1/verify?index_id=FLOPS-H100-OD&value=6.155{verified, actual_value, delta_pct, source_url}. Each published value also carries a methodology_version so you can cite the exact math that backed it.
What does the methodology version control?
Each published value pins to a methodology version (e.g. flops-h100-od@v0.9). A methodology change never silently rewrites history — the new version pins at the change moment and old values keep their old version. Methodology versions are immutable.
