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 53 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-production.up.railway.app

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 12 tools, 5 prompt templates, and 2 skills are immediately available.

Option B: Claude Desktop Extension (one-click)

Install AgentDeals directly in Claude Desktop — no configuration needed:

Download the latest agentdeals.mcpb from Releases
Double-click the file to install in Claude Desktop
All 12 tools and 5 prompt templates are immediately available

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

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

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:

Compare free tiers: "I'm evaluating Supabase vs Neon vs PlanetScale for a side project" — the agent searches each vendor and compares current limits
Check eligibility: "We're a YC W24 company, what credits can we get?" — the agent filters by eligibility_type: accelerator and returns applicable startup programs
Verify before recommending: Before suggesting a vendor, the agent checks get_deal_changes to ensure the free tier hasn't been removed or reduced

Monitoring deal changes

Track pricing shifts that affect your stack:

Check for changes: Call get_deal_changes with since: "2025-01-01" to see all tracked changes in the past year
Filter by vendor: Call get_deal_changes with vendor: "Vercel" to see if Vercel's pricing has changed
Filter by type: Call get_deal_changes with change_type: "free_tier_removed" to see which vendors have eliminated free tiers
