Engineering teams are moving fast \u2014 using AI to write code, fix bugs, invoke tools, and automate workflows that used to take days. For the teams pulling ahead, these tools aren&#8217;t a productivity experiment. They are core infrastructure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But as adoption scales, most engineering leaders can\u2019t answer basic questions: How much are we spending per engineer and per team? Is that spend going toward new features and bug fixes or something else entirely? Are we burning tokens on MCPs, skills, and plugins we don\u2019t need? With both tools now billing at full API rates, those questions are turning into real budget conversations \u2014 and most teams have no way to answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Opik is now the first tool to give engineering leaders complete visibility into Claude Code and Codex spend that no other tool has offered before \u2014 per engineer, per team, per task. In real time, before the invoice arrives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Opik goes beyond observability to automatically slash your coding agent costs. By eliminating unused skills, keeping idle MCPs out of your context, and fixing misconfigured compaction strategies, Opik optimizes your spend behind the scenes. One enterprise customer reduced AI spend by millions annually with zero restrictions on how their developers use AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cClaude Code and Codex are genuinely transformational tools,\u201d said Gideon Mendels, Co-founder and CEO of Comet. \u201cBut most engineering leaders have no idea how their developers have them configured \u2013 which MCPs are loaded, which model is running by default, whether any of it maps to real outcomes. Opik answers the questions every VP of Eng should be asking right now \u2014 and gives them the tools to do something about it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Built for Teams Building Seriously With Claude Code and Codex<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Spend per engineer and per team <\/strong>\u2014 see exactly how much Claude Code and Codex are costing across every developer and project in a single real-time view, updated continuously so surprises don\u2019t wait until month end<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Attribute spend to real work<\/strong> \u2014 understand whether AI spend is going toward new features, bug fixes, or tasks that didn\u2019t need it \u2014 giving engineering leaders the data to justify spend and redirect it where it matters<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Eliminate token waste <\/strong>\u2014 see which MCPs, skills, and plugins are loaded to context for every task, identify what\u2019s unnecessary, and standardize configuration across the team before wasted tokens compound into a real budget problem<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About Comet<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Comet builds tools for AI engineering teams moving from experiment to production.
