Sprout MCP

Drop your Opus bill 80%. Model-tiered content pipeline for MCP — cheap models seed work, expensive models verify it.

Sprout routes tasks to the right model tier automatically. Haiku drafts, Sonnet fact-checks, Opus verifies. Every chunk tracks provenance, confidence, and cost.

Install

uvx sprout-mcp

Or add to Claude Code's MCP config (~/.claude/settings.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sprout": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["sprout-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

How It Works

  Haiku (seed)  →  Sonnet (watered)  →  Opus (sprouted)
    Draft            Fact-check           Verify
    $0.005/M         $0.015/M             $0.075/M
  1. Seed — Haiku drafts content cheaply (summarization, extraction, first passes)
  2. Water — Sonnet reviews and fact-checks the seeds
  3. Sprout — Opus deep-verifies only what passed Sonnet's review

Instead of running everything through Opus at $75/M output tokens, most work stays at Haiku's $5/M. Only the final verification — typically 10-20% of total work — touches Opus.

Example Workflow

You: Use recommend_model for "biography_synthesis"
Sprout: biography_synthesis → haiku-4.5 (Factual summarization)

You: Use submit_chunk to store the Haiku output
Sprout: Stored chunk abc12345 [seed] for person-001.biography

You: Use get_review_queue to see what needs fact-checking
Sprout: 1 chunk pending review

You: Use mark_reviewed to promote after Sonnet fact-checks it
Sprout: Chunk abc12345 → watered (verified by sonnet-4.6)

You: Use get_cost_report
Sprout: haiku-4.5: ~1,300 tokens (1 chunk) — $0.0065
        Total: $0.0065
