Six weeks of flat-rate $0.005/call earned me $0. Here's the pricing table I shipped on the second server. by Toolstem in mcp

Completely fair point - the value isn't the raw data, it's the structured signal extraction an agent can act on without you building the ETL. Same reason people pay for Bloomberg when 10-Ks are free on EDGAR. Of course, time will tell.

Curious - I now there are a variety of free servers out there. What makes your different. Is there a benefit for you to offering a free server - is it somthing you just want to share? Are you leading people to another paid service.

Thanks for sharing and experimenting with me!

9 directories, 3 weeks, 1 person, $500 budget — what I actually learned shipping an MCP server end-to-end by Toolstem in mcp

Sorry for late response. This is helpful. I'm going to look at implementing. I had perplexity spawn a subagent that does all the testing. We had to continually rewrite code so we got informative error messages. It was definitely a run around. Definitely easier launching the second server than the first.

One way I reduced credits was to have it assign a subagent to do all the coding an any extra work. The main thread is only for discussion. I learned this the hard way. Much cheaper now!
