# Cercano Submit Usage

Submit cloud token usage data to Cercano for local-vs-cloud comparison. This tool *sends* data — to *view* usage reports, use `cercano_stats` instead.

In most setups, the PostToolUse hook handles this automatically. This tool is for manual or programmatic submission.

## MCP Tool

**Tool name:** `cercano_submit_usage`

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `cloud_input_tokens` | integer | Yes | Number of tokens sent to the cloud model. |
| `cloud_output_tokens` | integer | Yes | Number of tokens received from the cloud model. |
| `cloud_provider` | string | No | Cloud provider name (e.g. `"anthropic"`, `"google"`). |
| `cloud_model` | string | No | Cloud model name (e.g. `"claude-opus-4-6"`, `"gemini-3-flash"`). |

```json

  "cloud_input_tokens": 15000,
