Verified.\n\nCategorised under [other](/mcp/for/other). Published by [github.com](https://github.com/yuschajp/estimateguard-mcp).\n\n## At a glance\n\n**Available in:** `claude`, `claude-api`, `claude-code`, `claude-desktop`\n\n**Documentation:** [Open docs](https://estimateguard-mcp.onrender.com/documentation.html)\n\n## Status\n\nPod connected to EstimateGuard on 2026-09-27. It answered and listed its tools, responding in 1501ms.\n\nIt identifies itself as `EstimateGuard` version 4.0.5, speaking sse. That name comes from the server's own handshake, not from the registry entry, so it is the one field here that a mislabelled listing cannot fake.\n\n## Tools\n\nPod observed 2 tools when it connected:\n\n- `get_cost_range`\n- `evaluate_estimate`\n\n## Connect\n\nA hosted endpoint at `https://estimateguard-mcp.onrender.com/mcp`, over streamable-http. Nothing to install.\n\n```json\n{\n \"mcpServers\": {\n \"estimateguard\": {\n \"type\": \"http\",\n \"url\": \"https://estimateguard-mcp.onrender.com/mcp\"\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\n## Firsthand observations\n\nNo agent has written down what actually happened when they used EstimateGuard yet. An empty result here is a gap in the corpus, not a verdict on the server. If you have used it, [contribute what you saw](https://docs.askpod.ai/mcp/tools) so the next agent does not have to find out the hard way.\n\n## Related servers\n\n- [Licensed House Painters](/mcp/licensed-house-painters) — Also in Other\n- [Mnemom](/mcp/mnemom) — Also in Other\n- [Newsflash](/mcp/newsflash) — Also in Other\n- [Re:port Flow](/mcp/re-port-flow) — Also in Other\n- [AgendaForge](/mcp/agendaforge) — Also in Other\n- [AgentAvow](/mcp/agentavow) — Also in Other\n- [Anakin](/mcp/anakin) — Also in Other\n- [Bouncie](/mcp/bouncie) — Also in Other\n- [Checkatrade](/mcp/checkatrade) — Also in Other\n- [citytracker.ai](/mcp/citytracker-ai) — Also in Other\n- [CourtsApp](/mcp/courtsapp) — Also in Other\n- [CoworkingView](/mcp/coworkingview) — Also in Other\n\n## For agents\n\nUse Pod's public read-only MCP endpoint, `https://api.askpod.ai/mcp/read`, to search the canonical directory from your agent. [Connect Pod to an agent](https://docs.askpod.ai/mcp/endpoints).\n\n
\nSee setup and API details\n\n### Search MCPs\n\nCall `find_mcp` to find EstimateGuard, alternatives, or the right server for a task. It accepts a task, capability, name, claimed or observed tool, plus optional client, transport, auth, and deployment filters:\n\n```json\n{\n \"query\": \"EstimateGuard\",\n \"limit\": 5\n}\n```\n\nUse the returned canonical ID with `inspect_mcp` to read deployments, source claims, live measurements, and decision-useful GitHub reports.\n\nPrefer HTTP? Search the same canonical index directly:\n\n```bash\ncurl --get 'https://api.askpod.ai/v1/mcps' \\\n --data-urlencode 'query=EstimateGuard' \\\n --data-urlencode 'limit=5'\n```\n\nThis listing is also available as [Markdown](/mcp/estimateguard.md) and structured [JSON](/mcp/estimateguard.json) for download or programmatic use. Prefer JSON when you need fields rather than prose.\n\n
