Enhanced usage analysis tool for Claude Code with multi-provider support
npm install better-ccusage
> Analyze your Claude Code or Droid token usage and costs from local JSONL files with multi-provider support — incredibly fast and informative!
better-ccusage is a fork of the original ccusage project that addresses a critical limitation: while ccusage focuses exclusively on Claude Code usage with Anthropic models, better-ccusage extends support to external providers that use Claude Code with different providers like Anthropic, Zai, Dashcope and many models like glm-4.5, glm-4.6, kat-coder, sonnet-4, sonnet-4.5 and Qwen-Max etc..
The original ccusage project is designed specifically for Anthropic's Claude Code and doesn't account for:
- Zai providers that use Claude Code infrastructure with their own models
- GLM-4.5, GLM-4.6, GLM-4.7, kat-coder models from other AI providers
- Multi-provider environments where organizations use different AI services through Claude Code
better-ccusage maintains full compatibility with ccusage while adding comprehensive support for these additional providers and models.
The main CLI tool for analyzing Claude Code/Droid Usage from local JSONL files with support for multiple AI providers including Anthropic, Zai, and GLM-4.5, GLM-4.6, GLM-4.7, kat-coder models. Track daily, monthly, and session-based usage with beautiful tables and live monitoring.
Companion tool for analyzing OpenAI Codex usage. Same powerful features as better-ccusage but tailored for Codex users, including GPT-5 support and 1M token context windows.
Model Context Protocol server that exposes better-ccusage data to Claude Desktop and other MCP-compatible tools. Enable real-time usage tracking directly in your AI workflows.
Thanks to better-ccusage's incredibly small bundle size, you can run it directly without installation:
``bashRecommended - always include @latest to ensure you get the newest version
npx better-ccusage@latest
bunx better-ccusage
> 💡 Important: We strongly recommend using
@latest suffix with npx (e.g., npx better-ccusage@latest) to ensure you're running the most recent version with the latest features and bug fixes.$3
#### Codex CLI
Analyze OpenAI Codex usage with our companion tool @better-ccusage/codex:
`bash
Recommended - always include @latest
npx @better-ccusage/codex@latest
bunx @better-ccusage/codex@latest # ⚠️ MUST include @latest with bunxAlternative package runners
pnpm dlx @better-ccusage/codex
pnpx @better-ccusage/codexUsing deno (with security flags)
deno run -E -R=$HOME/.codex/ -S=homedir -N='raw.githubusercontent.com:443' npm:@better-ccusage/codex@latest
`> ⚠️ Critical for bunx users: Bun 1.2.x's bunx prioritizes binaries matching the package name suffix when given a scoped package. For
@better-ccusage/codex, it looks for a codex binary in PATH first. If you have an existing codex command installed (e.g., GitHub Copilot's codex), that will be executed instead. Always use bunx @better-ccusage/codex@latest with the version tag to force bunx to fetch and run the correct package.#### MCP Server
Integrate better-ccusage with Claude Desktop using @better-ccusage/mcp:
`bash
Start MCP server for Claude Desktop integration
npx @better-ccusage/mcp@latest --type http --port 8080
`This enables real-time usage tracking and analysis directly within Claude Desktop conversations.

`Multi-Provider Support
better-ccusage extends the original ccusage functionality with automatic support for multiple AI providers:
$3
- Zero Configuration Required: New providers work automatically without code changes
- Intelligent Model Resolution: Finds models with or without provider prefixes
- Fallback Matching: Three-tier matching (exact → suffix → fuzzy) ensures models are always found
How It Works:
- Direct match:
"kimi-for-coding" ✓
- Provider prefix match: "moonshot/kimi-for-coding" ✓
- Automatic fallback prevents $0.00 costs from unfound models$3
Moonshot AI (kimi-* models):
-
kimi-k2-0905-preview, kimi-k2-0711-preview, kimi-k2-turbo-preview
- kimi-k2-thinking, kimi-k2-thinking-turbo, kimi-for-codingMiniMax:
-
MiniMax-M2GLM Models:
-
glm-4.7, glm-4.6, glm-4.5, glm-4Anthropic (Claude models):
- All Claude models including
claude-sonnet-4-20250514, claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929, etc.Zai Provider:
- All Zai-specific model variants
And More:
- kat-coder, deepseek, dashscope, streamlake, etc.
$3
- Automatic provider detection from usage data
- Separate reporting and aggregation by provider
- Unified interface for multi-provider environments
- Accurate cost calculation for each provider's pricing structure
