Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 1311 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-11-25, serverInfo.name aifree.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 18 tools.

  • Pass
    Current protocol

    Negotiated 2025-11-25. The bar is 2025-06-18 or newer.

  • Pass
    HTTPS

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 1311 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 1311 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

  • Not measured
    Reliable (uptime)

    1 of 1 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Not measured
    Stable tool list

    Fewer than two successful probes in 30 days, so tool-list stability is not measured.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

  • Not measured
    Free tier cited

    No publisher quote has been checked.

Tools

  • Pass
    Tools described

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

  • Pass
    Valid input schemas

    Every inputSchema is a JSON Schema object.

  • Fail
    Parameters documented

    36 of 59 parameters have a description (61%). The bar is 80%.

  • Pass
    Safety hints

    Every tool sets readOnlyHint or destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass
    Verified namespace

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

  • Not measured
    Website matches publisher

    This namespace is not a reverse domain, so the website comparison does not apply.

  • Pass
    Source repo linked

    A repository URL is on file.

  • Fail
    Repo owner matches

    The GitHub repository owner does not match the namespace login.

  • Pass
    Recently updated

    Updated 2026-10-21T19:02:11.4635Z, within 180 days.

Capabilities

Tools 18

ask_aifree

A short answer about free AI offers grounded in the verified catalog, citing only offer slugs it was shown. Declines questions outside the catalog. Cached per question for 24 h; subject to a daily budget.

Discovered
best_list

One published top list by slug (see best_lists): the picks with links, FAQ, sources and the Markdown body. Same data as GET /api/v1/best/{slug}.

Discovered
best_lists

The published "best free X" top lists of aifree.dev/best: title, description, dates and the picks in order. Same data as GET /api/v1/best; call best_list for one list with links, FAQ and sources.

Discovered
build_stack

The aifree.dev/stack builder: for a template (chat, rag, image, voice, agent, finetune) one free pick per slot (llm, emb, vec, host, gpu, tts, stt, image) with alternatives, the tightest published LLM requests per day, cards and programs to watch, and a shareable URL. Optionally pin a slot to an offer slug, require no card, or limit to a country.

Discovered
calc

The aifree.dev rate-limit calculator: for req requests a day of about tok tokens, every free LLM API tier with a verdict (fits / short / not-published), its daily capacity, and a combo when no single tier fits. Same data as GET /api/v1/calc.

Discovered
check_eligibility

Use when someone asks what free AI they qualify for given who they are, e.g. "I am a student in Vietnam with no credit card, what free AI can I get?". Same rules as the aifree.dev/unlock quiz: student and startup programs only when the profile says so, no-card drops offers that ask for a card, country drops offers recorded as other-countries-only (offers with no recorded region stay in and are counted in unrecordedRegionCount), building narrows by category. All parameters are optional; omitted ones mean not a student, no startup, anywhere, card OK, any category. Unknown values are ignored the same way. Returns verified rows first, then by USD value. totalUsd sums USD headline values of verified rows only (tokens, requests, images or minutes count as $0, no exchange rates); listed rows are public but not yet checked by a person. limit (default 20, max 50) only trims the returned list: total, verifiedCount and totalUsd cover every match. Each provider decides who qualifies; cite the offer url and the unlockUrl (the same result as a page).

Discovered
compare_offers

A markdown comparison table (provider, what is free, limits, card rules, catch, expiry, status) for 2-8 offer slugs.

Discovered
find_models

Which free API tiers serve an LLM model, with the published free-tier rate limits (RPM, RPD, TPM, TPD, requests/month), context window, tool calling and JSON mode (structured output). Same rows and ranking (most requests per day first) as the free LLM API picker. Search by model or provider name, optionally by family.

Discovered
get_model

One model by slug (an alias slug resolves to the canonical one) with every live free source: offer, provider, verified or listed, card rule, context and the published rate limits (rpm, rpd, tpm, tpd, rpmo; null = not published). Same record as GET /api/v1/models/{model}.

Discovered
get_offer

Full details for one offer by slug (the last path segment of an aifree.dev/offer/... URL), including the write-up and, for API free tiers, the models served with their published rate limits (rateLimit: rpm, rpd, tpm, optional tpd and rpmo; null = not published), the API id of each model when recorded (apiId), whether its vendor documents JSON mode / structured output (structuredOutput, omitted when unknown), and the API base URL with its request shape (apiBaseUrl, apiCompat: openai, anthropic, google or custom).

Discovered
get_status

aifree.dev own status: overall verdict, 30-day uptime, per-path checks and background job health. Same report as GET /api/v1/status.

Discovered
list_free_llm_apis

Free LLM / inference API tiers and credits (Gemini, Groq, OpenRouter, Mistral, Cohere, NVIDIA, …) with their limits and card rules.

Discovered
list_models

Every model some live free offer serves (the data behind aifree.dev/model and GET /api/v1/models), most free sources first: slug, family, vendor, context window, tool calling, vision, JSON mode, open weights and how many free sources serve it. Filter by name, family, provider, capability or minimum context; then call get_model for the sources and rate limits.

Discovered
list_providers

Every provider with public offers: slug, offer count, categories, free types and its offers with status and URL. Same data as GET /api/v1/providers.

Discovered
offer_history

What changed on one offer, newest first: its changelog events (listed, verified, terms_updated, expired, incidents, …) and edits to its public facts (what is free, limits, card rule, expiry, vendor URL), each with a { from, to } diff when fields changed. Same data and paging as GET /api/v1/offers/{slug}/history.

Discovered
recent_changes

What was listed, verified, changed or expired recently, newest first.

Discovered
search_free_ai_offers

Find free AI tools, API free tiers, credits and programs. Free text plus optional filters; returns the best matches with limits, card rules and the page URL to cite.

Discovered
upcoming_deadlines

Offers whose free deal ends within N days (default 30), soonest first: slug, name, provider, expiryDate (last day, UTC), endsAt, daysLeft and the offer url. The data behind aifree.dev/calendar; same filters and paging as GET /api/v1/deadlines. "listed" rows are not yet verified by a person.
