README

Shortlist Price Index MCP server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives AI agents software pricing data: entry prices (lowest paid plan per provider) for 16 categories, from VPNs and cloud backup to travel eSIMs and recruitment software. Prices are compiled from each provider's public pricing page and republished monthly since June 2026. Three categories (VPN, web hosting and cloud backup) are additionally measured by an automated pipeline that archives the source page behind every observation; the remaining categories are hand-curated. Published as open data under CC BY 4.0 by Orai Media.

Endpoint: https://shortlist-mcp.vercel.app/mcp (streamable HTTP, no auth, free)

Tools

ToolWhat it does
list_categoriesAll tracked categories with slugs, units and currencies (11 USD/global + 5 Dutch EUR)
get_price_indexFull index for one category: average, median, cheapest, every provider sorted by price, monthly history, methodology
get_true_3yr_costHonest 3-year cost per provider (year 1 intro, years 2-3 at renewal), ranked by real total, with the renewal multiplier. Published for web hosting and antivirus today
get_cheapestThe N cheapest providers in a category right now, with a link to the full comparison

Every response includes a citation string and the CC BY 4.0 license note, so agents can attribute figures correctly.

Example questions your agent can now answer

  • "What does a VPN cost per month right now, and which three are cheapest?"
  • "Compare travel eSIM prices per GB for a summer trip."
  • "How much does an applicant tracking system cost for a single recruiter?"
  • "Wat kost een wachtwoordmanager per maand in Nederland?"
