AgentDeals

An MCP server that aggregates free tiers, startup credits, and developer tool deals — so your AI agent (or you) can find the best infrastructure offers without leaving the workflow.

AgentDeals indexes real, verified pricing data from 1,500+ developer infrastructure vendors across 54 categories. Available on npm for local use or as a hosted remote server. Connect any MCP-compatible client and search deals by keyword, category, or eligibility.

Live: agentdeals.dev

Install

Option A: Claude Code Plugin (one-click)

Install AgentDeals in Claude Code with a single command:

claude plugin install robhunter/agentdeals

This auto-configures the remote MCP server — no local setup needed. All 4 tools and 6 prompt templates are immediately available.

Option B: Claude Desktop Extension (one-click)

Install AgentDeals directly in Claude Desktop — no configuration needed:

1. Download the latest `agentdeals.mcpb` from Releases

2. Double-click the file to install in Claude Desktop

3. All 4 tools and 6 prompt templates are immediately available

Or browse for AgentDeals in Claude Desktop under Settings > Extensions.

Option C: npx (local stdio)

No server needed. Runs locally via stdin/stdout:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentdeals": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "agentdeals"]
    }
  }
}

Option D: Remote HTTP

Connect to the hosted instance — no install required:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentdeals": {
      "url": "https://agentdeals.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Quick Setup (.mcp.json)

Add AgentDeals to any project by dropping this `.mcp.json` in the project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentdeals": {
      "url": "https://agentdeals.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}

This works with Claude Code, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible clients that read `.mcp.json`.

Use Cases

Agent-assisted infrastructure selection

When your AI agent recommends infrastructure, it's usually working from training data — not current pricing. By connecting AgentDeals, the agent can:

1. Compare free tiers: "I'm evaluating Supabase vs Neon for a side project" — use `compare_vendors` with both names

2. Check eligibility: "We're a YC W24 company, what credits can we get?" — use `search_deals` with `eligibility: "accelerator"`

3. Verify before recommending: Use `track_changes` to ensure the free tier hasn't been removed or reduced

Monitoring deal changes

Track pricing shifts that affect your stack:

1. Weekly digest: Call `track_changes` with no params for a curated summary

2. Filter by vendor: Call `track_changes` with `vendor: "Vercel"` to see if Vercel's pricing has changed

3. Filter by type: Call `track_changes` with `change_type: "free_tier_removed"` to see which vendors have eliminated free tiers
