Current version: 1.3.0

A curated, daily human-verified, machine-readable catalog of persistent free tiers and limited-time token promos for AI models and inference services — exposed as a single MCP server over Streamable HTTP.

What you get

• 8 tools — searchpromos, filterpromos, getpromo, listproviders, getrecentupdates, getexpiringsoon, whatcaniget, reportpromo_issue
• 4 resources — catalog://snapshot, catalog://daily/{date}, schema://promo, providers://index
• 3 prompts — daily-deal-brief, pick-for-me, explain-terms
• 17 curated offers (free tiers + limited-time promos) covering OpenAI / Anthropic / Google / Zhipu / SiliconFlow / Alibaba Cloud Model Studio / Cloudflare Workers AI / Groq …

Every promo record carries normalized terms (22 controlled tags), an onboarding difficulty rating (easy / medium / hard) with an Agent fallback path, region disclosure (global / include / exclude), an expiry timestamp (including nofixedexpiry), a "how to claim" step list, and a human-verified timestamp — the last one is our core differentiator.

Connect

Any MCP client can connect. Authentication is a Bearer token (your Apify API token).

curl -X POST https://neeenja--free-and-cheap-tokens.apify.actor/mcp \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-03-26","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"my-client","version":"1.0"}}}'

Remote (mcp-remote bridge, because the Apify gateway needs a Bearer token per request):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "free-and-cheap-tokens": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://neeenja--free-and-cheap-tokens.apify.actor/mcp", "--header", "Authorization: Bearer YOUR-APIFY-TOKEN"]
    }
  }
}

Local (stdio):

git clone https://github.com/PanStories/free-and-cheap-tokens.git
cd free-and-cheap-tokens
npm ci && npm run build:catalog && npm run dev

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "free-and-cheap-tokens": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}
