OpenAI Admin integration

Organization-level cost and usage reporting for the OpenAI API. Read daily spend and completions usage with an Admin key, which is separate from a project API key and can be minted read-only. Returns spend, not a remaining credit balance, which OpenAI does not expose.

What you can do with OpenAI Admin

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Cost, 1 operation

get_costsGet costsGETReads the organization daily OpenAI spend.

Usage, 1 operation

Use OpenAI Admin from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect OpenAI Admin in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its OpenAI Admin operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"
