Claude Code is already powerful, but you can make it dramatically better and ~60% cheaper with this MCP server.

We tested the same speech-to-text benchmarking task two ways:

1. Using Claude Code alone 2. Claude Code + @withneo MCP

Same hardware. Same model.

Claude Code cost was $1.96, but using the MCP server was $0.74, 60% cheaper!

The @withneo MCP server makes Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and any other agentic coding system dramatically more efficient on AI/ML engineering tasks.

In the experiment we ran, using the MCP server ran 37% faster and produced a cleaner, more structured benchmarking pipeline.

The difference was approach.

Claude Code jumped straight to implementation using the standard libraries and design patterns most projects default to.

Neo, however, first researched the problem, selected the right libraries for this specific workload, and designed around performance from the start.

General-purpose agents become much more powerful when they can call specialized engineering agents.

You should take a look at the NEO MCP if you are trying to run evals, fine-tune models, inference benchmarking, or any other engineering workflow.

Thanks to the NEO team for partnering with me on this post.
