Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote server for benchmarking AI product pricing from a vendor-quoted index, checking quotes, and buying paid Forward Deployed Engineering rules and…

What you can do
  • Browse and read the Agent Pricing Index: category benchmarks, published rows with vendor quotes and read dates, and dated price corrections
  • Check a quoted or planned price against list price and its category, and submit a product price to a private benchmark
  • Read Forward Deployed Engineering material: a free catalogue, two free foundational rules, and paid full rulesets, runbooks and a pre-ship checklist
  • Order a human-reviewed pricing teardown and get checkout links for the operator
  • Compute the Judgment Multiple, comparing annualized exposure with the cost of the human control guarding it
When to use it
Useful when you need evidence-backed AI pricing comparisons, want to sanity-check a quote before negotiating, or want deploy-time engineering rules and checklists delivered to an assistant. Most of the pricing index is free; the engineering content is mostly paid per query.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no package, account, API key or header is declared. Paid tools require a machine payment over Stripe cards (MPP), and the server returns a payment challenge with a retry URL when unpaid. Network access to the provider's API is needed.
Before you install
Several tools cost money per query and can be paid by an agent without human confirmation, so set spending limits. pricing_submit and pricing_quote_check add your submitted prices or quotes to a private benchmark, with medians published once a category has five or more entries. order_teardown hands off to external checkout links. The WARN layoff feed tools are retired and only return a pointer.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Agent Pricing Index in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.IgnatiusTheYoungerAI%2Ffde-lessons-warn-feed/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Tools

fde_catalogue

FREE. List every Forward Deployed Engineering rule, playbook, and checklist phase available from this server — id, title, phase, and tags, with the paid body withheld. Call this first to see what is on offer before paying for anything.

Takes no parameters.

fde_lessons_preview

FREE. Return the foundational Forward Deployed Engineering rules in full, no payment required. Each rule carries the real incident behind it and an implementable agent-behavior constraint.

Parameterstopic

fde_lessons_full

PAID. Return the full Forward Deployed Engineering ruleset, or the subset matching a topic. Requires a machine payment (MPP over Stripe). If unpaid, returns the exact payment challenge and the URL to retry against.

Parameterstopic

fde_playbook

PAID. Return situational runbooks with ordered, checkable steps — DNS migration and static-site change. Use before executing that class of operation, not after it fails.

Parameterstopic

fde_preship_checklist

PAID. Return the pre-ship checklist: every gate to clear before shipping, each with the concrete failure it prevents. Designed to be called before every deploy.

Parametersphase

pricing_changes

PAID. Return only the dated Agent Pricing Index corrections at or after a given date — what changed, not the full dataset. Each correction is from a re-read of the vendor's own page. Cheaper than fde equivalent full-dataset calls when you only need to know what moved.

Parameterssince

pricing_benchmark

FREE. What AI products and agents in one category actually charge: published-price counts, contact-sales share and median entry price from the Agent Pricing Index (every row read off the vendor's own page with a verbatim quote and read date), plus the private-submission benchmark where it has five or more data points.

Parameterscategoryrequired

pricing_submit

FREE, give-to-get. Add one AI product's price (list or a real quote) to the Agent Pricing Index private benchmark. Returns the category benchmark it unlocks. Individual submissions are never published; medians only at five or more per category.

Parametersnoteproductcategoryrequiredusage_unitpricing_modelrequiredunit_price_usdentry_usd_monthtypical_discount_pct

pricing_quote_check

FREE, give-to-get. Check a price you were quoted (or plan to quote) for an AI product against the vendor's own published list price and the category. Returns discount off list, position in the category and data freshness. The quote is added to the private benchmark (never published individually), which is the price of the answer.

Parametersseatsproductcategoryrequiredterm_monthspricing_modelrequiredlist_usd_monthquoted_usd_monthrequiredshare_to_benchmarkrequired

pricing_rows

FREE. Return the published Agent Pricing Index rows for one category or product, each with the vendor's pricing URL, verbatim evidence quote and read date. Full dataset is CC BY 4.0, attribute to ignatiustheyoungerai.com/pricing-index.

Parametersproductcategory

order_teardown

Order a human-reviewed pricing teardown of one AI product from IgnatiusTheYoungerAI (enterprise-scale pricing operator). Returns the tiers and checkout links for the agent's operator. Use when a quote or price page needs a verdict, not a lookup.

Parametersproduct_url

judgment_multiple

FREE. The Judgment Multiple: annualized exposure divided by the annualized cost of the human control that guards it. Tells you whether a human reviewer on an AI workflow is cheap insurance or overhead.
