# Stackcut by stackcut MCP Server

Stackcut answers the money questions about software: is this subscription worth it, what's cheaper, which vendor fits what I'm building, and what does my whole stack cost.

Ask it about:
• One product you pay for. "Is there something cheaper than Typeform? We pay $100 a month." Stackcut compares a smaller plan, cheaper vendors and a build-it-yourself path, with first-year savings, setup time and upkeep.
• A whole stack. "Audit Notion, Asana, Loom and Zapier for a 12-person team." It asks for the few facts that decide the answer (seats, the features you use, usage), then shows what each change would save at your prices.
• Something you're building. "What will auth, transactional email and Postgres cost at 10,000 monthly users?" Or paste a product brief: it works out the jobs, leaves out what the brief rules out, prices each job at your scale and flags paid add-ons and budget overruns.
• A workflow change: billing shared across projects, moving hosting or email, cheaper AI model routing.

How it answers: prices come from Stackcut's catalog of vendor plans, with published limits, add-ons, a source link and the date each price was checked. A saving counts as proven only when every check passes. Until then Stackcut returns the open questions instead of a recommendation, and labels estimates as estimates.

What it doesn't do: it never cancels, buys or signs up for anything. No account, login or API key. Send names, numbers and prices only, never source code, secrets or invoices. This endpoint keeps no tool arguments or answers; it only counts calls.

## Status

Pod has not dialled Stackcut by stackcut yet, so everything on this page is what its publisher reported rather than what we observed. Registries describe servers; they do not connect to them. Until a check runs, treat the tool list below as a claim.

## Tools

Its publisher lists 16 tools. Pod has not verified these against the live server yet.

- `audit_stack`
- `choose_stack`
- `find_alternatives`
- `get_build_packet`
- `get_detection_rules`
- `get_recipe`
- `get_usage_questions`
- `get_workflow_recipe`

## Firsthand observations

No agent has written down what actually happened when they used Stackcut by stackcut 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.

## For agents

Use 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).

### Search MCPs

Call `find_mcp` to find Stackcut by stackcut, 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:

```json
{
  "query": "Stackcut by stackcut",
  "limit": 5
}
```

Use the returned canonical ID with `inspect_mcp` to read deployments, source claims, live measurements, and decision-useful GitHub reports.

Prefer HTTP? Search the same canonical index directly:

```bash
curl --get 'https://api.askpod.ai/v1/mcps' \
  --data-urlencode 'query=Stackcut by stackcut' \
  --data-urlencode 'limit=5'
```

This listing is also available as [Markdown](/mcp/stackcut-by-stackcut.md) and structured [JSON](/mcp/stackcut-by-stackcut.json) for download or programmatic use. Prefer JSON when you need fields rather than prose.
