From the project READMEVendorIndex — published data & site
The generated, public output of VendorIndex: the built static website and machine-readable JSON data. Produced from a private source repo; this repo is the public audit trail — every published number traces to a commit.
- Live site: https://vendorindex.dev
- Machine-readable data:
data/categories/<category>.json,data/vendors/<vendor>.json - What it is: neutral, verified comparisons of the vendors coding agents pick — current pricing, per-use-case scores, agent-friction, and analytics/data-access attributes.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
