Rank vendors/libraries per use case from verified pricing, agent-friction and health.
VendorIndex's hosted MCP server (mcp.vendorindex.dev); no sign-in required; Streamable HTTP; 6 tools.
No AI overview yet: these facts come from the registry entry and the server itself.
Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.
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.andy-chak%2Fvendorindex/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.Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

List every vendor category VendorIndex covers (e.g. transactional-email, llm-models, embeddings-apis, llm-gateways), each with its use cases and vendor count. Call this first to discover valid category and use_case ids.
Takes no parameters.
Get the ranked vendors for a category, scored per use case (deterministic, from verified pricing + agent-friction + health). Omit use_case to get the ranking for every use case in the category. Returns each vendor's weighted total and per-dimension scores.
categoryrequireduse_caseRecommend the top vendors for a specific category + use case, with the reasoning (which dimensions drove the pick). Best when an agent needs a single answer to 'what should I use for X?'.
limitcategoryrequireduse_caserequiredFull detail for one vendor: cited pricing (structured rates + source URL + verified date + confidence), agent-friction checks, SDKs, capabilities, portability and health signals.
vendorrequiredSide-by-side comparison of several vendors for one category + use case: weighted totals, per-dimension scores and health trend. Use for head-to-head questions.
vendorsrequiredcategoryrequireduse_caserequiredFind vendors by free-text query across name, id, category and capability (e.g. 'embedding', 'soc2', 'fast_inference'). Returns matches with their categories.

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
