Context tax

Connecting this server adds ~830 tokens of tool definitions to every model turn (lean, 4 tools). Measured 2026-10-19 via its hosted endpoint; o200k tokenizer, worst case for clients that load all tools up front. How we measure

Input prices as of 2026-10-06. Excludes your own prompt and output.

Tools (4)

• get_transcript_excerpt222 tok

  Returns up to 16 consecutive transcript segments from one episode around a timestamp (m:ss or h:mm:ss), a segment_index from search results, or a passage url or its #t- anchor. Defaults: 2 segments before and 5 after. Each segment has its own url to cite.

• search_transcripts207 tok

  Full-text search over Chain of Thought transcripts. Returns up to 20 passages ranked by relevance, each with episode number and title, guests, speaker, timestamp, a snippet of about 600 characters, and a url for that moment on the episode page (#t-N). Cite that url. Optional `episode` limits the search to one episode. Use get_transcript_excerpt for context. Transcripts are machine-generated; check exact quotes against the recording.

• get_episode150 tok

  Returns one episode by number or slug (a full chainofthought.show episode URL also works): title, date, duration, guests with companies, summary, chapters with timestamps, and links to the episode page, YouTube and audio. Does not return the transcript; use search_transcripts or get_transcript_excerpt for passages. Cite the url.

• search_episodes148 tok

  Finds Chain of Thought episodes by topic, guest name, company, title or chapter title. Returns up to 20 episodes ranked by relevance with number, title, date, guests, a short summary, matching chapter titles and the episode page url to cite.
