Ask what a server costs and get a dated price list, not a review. StackRates updates its data daily from the prices more than 40 VPS, cloud and managed hosting providers publish on their own pricing pages or price APIs, with a source link on every plan. **Four read-only tools, no login** - `ask_vps_prices`: a price question in plain words, e.g. "cheapest 4 GB VPS in Germany". - `search_vps_plans`: plans by memory, vCPU, disk, budget, provider or location, cheapest first. - `server_for_app`: the published requirements of 192 self-hosted apps and game servers (n8n, Immich, Minecraft Java) and the cheapest plans we track that meet them. - `current_vps_offers`: intro and sale prices, each judged on its first year against the cheapest regular plan with at least as much memory. Prices are USD a month. Some need a prepaid term and some exclude VAT. A separately billed IPv4 address is added in, and sold-out plans are left out. Data: CC BY 4.0 (CSV and JSON at https://stackrates.ai/data/). StackRates is run by First State Growth LLC. Some providers may pay us a referral reward (commission or account credit); that never changes a price or the order of a list.

MCP readiness

B · 88/100

Readiness is how fully this listing follows its protocol and how it behaved in our probes over 30 days. It is shown for reference and does not move it in search. Search order and leaderboards use the separate quality grade (here B, 82.1/100), which weighs availability, conformance, p95 speed and descriptor. How the two differ

Valid MCP handshake	10/10	initialize and tools/list both answered.
Live MCP endpoint	25/25	Endpoint answers the MCP initialize handshake (1211 ms).
Protocol revision	8/10	Speaks MCP 2025-11-25, 1 revision(s) behind 2026-07-28.
Signed descriptor	n/a	No MCP standard defines a signed server descriptor.
Uptime (30 days)	15/15	30/30 probes succeeded over 30 days (100%).
Tool declaration	10/10	Lists 5 tool(s) with descriptions.
Verified identity	5/10	Publisher declared (repository, package or homepage); claim this listing to verify domain control.
Freshness + modern flags	4/5	seen in a source within 7 days.
Auth declaration	2/5	Declares credential scheme: smithery_api_key.

Applicable criteria total 90 points, scaled to 100.

Responsiveness: Responsive (1211 ms; bands ≤2.5 s, ≤5 s, ≤8 s, slower; penalty only).

Measured 2026-11-11.

Nine criteria, the same as the A2A readiness score, read from our daily MCP probe (initialize + tools/list) and 30-day probe history. No MCP standard defines a signed server descriptor, so that criterion is n/a and the other 90 points are scaled to 100. Grades: A>=90, B>=75, C>=60, D>=40, F<40. Display only: search order uses the quality grade.

Compared with peers

Against 53,039 reachable MCP servers in our daily snapshot (2026-11-12 06:46 UTC). Display only; it does not change search order.

Readiness: Higher than 95% of peers; This listing 88 · peer median 81
Latency: Faster than 41% of peers; This listing 400 ms · peer median 326 ms

Where it loses the most points, and how to win them back

Verified identity −5 — Claim the listing and prove control of its domain.
Now: Publisher declared (repository, package or homepage); claim this listing to verify domain control.
Auth declaration −3 — State how to authenticate (an auth scheme, or that none is needed).
Now: Declares credential scheme: smithery_api_key.
Protocol revision −2 — Support the current protocol revision.
Now: Speaks MCP 2025-11-25, 1 revision(s) behind 2026-07-28.
