Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 597 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 597 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.

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

  • Pass

    24 of 24 parameters have a description (100%). The bar is 80%.

  • Pass
    Safety hints

    Every tool sets readOnlyHint or destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass
    Verified namespace

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

  • Pass
    Website matches publisher

    The website host matches the reverse-domain namespace.

  • Pass
    Source repo linked

    A repository URL is on file.

  • Not measured
    Repo owner matches

    This namespace is not an io.github login, so the owner comparison does not apply.

Capabilities

Tools 8

early_offers

Offers that are verified but not public yet (embargoed, each with public_after), plus new, changed and closed offer events from the last 30 days, filtered by the subscription topics. Needs the private feed token from subscribe (webhook) or from the email confirmation page.

Discovered
find_credits

Answer "what free credits / free tier / startup program can I get for X". Ranked, verified offers matching a need such as "free speech to text credits", "GPU for a bootstrapped startup" or "student LLM API credits". Each result has credit_value, eligibility, how_to_claim, claim_url, source_url, source_snippet (verbatim vendor quote), last_verified, value_usd (explicit one-time USD amount or null), audience, and live claims / claims_7d / votes counts (real visitors, never padded; null if unavailable). filters.sort orders by relevance (default), popular (most claimed this week), votes, newest, verified (most recently re-checked), value (largest stated USD credit) or az. need may be empty when you only filter/sort. Closed offers are excluded unless filters.status is "all"/"closed" or include_closed is true. claim_redirect_url sends the user to the vendor and counts the claim anonymously; claim_url is the direct vendor link.

Discovered
get_offer

Full record for one Perq offer by id (e.g. "deepgram-200-credit"), including source quote, last_verified, recorded changes and packs that contain it.

Discovered
get_pack

One curated pack by slug with every offer in it and how its up-to total was computed (which offers counted and why others did not).

Discovered
list_packs

Curated bundles of offers (e.g. AI startup launch pack, LLM API free tier pack, voice AI pack) with each pack's headline and up-to total where one is computed.

Discovered
recently_changed

Offers added, updated (value, eligibility, claim steps) or closed in the last N days (dates in America/New_York).

Discovered
subscribe

Get newly verified offers before they are public on https://perq.sh (about 24h early), plus closures and changes. Give either email (a person: we send a confirmation link, then a digest only on days with something new) or webhook_url (an agent: https only, public hosts only; each new offer is POSTed as JSON signed with HMAC-SHA256). A webhook signup returns the signing secret once, a private feed token for early_offers, and the result of a signed verification ping. Only subscribe an address or URL the user asked you to.

Discovered
trending

Offers people are actually claiming (clicks on the claim link, one per visitor per day) or voting "worked for me", over the last 7 days or all time. Counts are real and never seeded; when nothing has been claimed yet the list is empty and says so.
