About Agentery
Agentery is a hosted MCP service that helps AI coding agents and assistants find AI products, agents, MCP servers, and APIs, then compare published prices and market benchmarks. It reports vendor-published prices with sources and observation dates, and marks missing prices as unknown.
Key features
- 01Search tools by task and delivery type

- 04View the Agent Economy Price Index
- 05Research market demand and gaps
- 06Create private custom benchmarks
Use cases
- 01Find APIs suited to a specific task
- 02Compare pricing for a product shortlist
- 03Estimate a fair price for a buyer tier
- 04Explore demand signals and market gaps
MCP support
The hosted MCP server exposes tools for discovery, provider comparison, pricing benchmarks, demand research, and custom benchmarks. It connects over Streamable HTTP without authentication.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Servers that need sign-in will prompt on first connect.
Tools
Details
From the project READMEAgentery plugin
The official Agentery plugin for AI coding agents and assistants. It connects your agent to Agentery's hosted MCP server so it can:
- find suitable AI tools — AI products, agents, MCP servers and APIs for a specific task, with task fit and delivery type stated;
- compare their published prices — plans, billing units and pricing for a shortlist, side by side on one basis;
- check fair market prices — the median and typical range for comparable products, by buyer tier and billing unit.
Agentery reports only what vendors publish, with the source and the date each price was observed. A missing price is shown as unknown, never as zero, and "contact sales" is not treated as a price.
This repository contains only the plugin wrapper (manifests, MCP configuration, one skill and a logo). Agentery's server code, database and index methodology are not part of it.
Install
One repository works on every platform. Each one reads its own manifest and
connects to the same endpoint, https://agentery.com/api/mcp. No account,
no sign-in and no API key are needed on any of them.
| Platform | Install | Files it reads |
|---|---|---|
| Grok Build | grok plugin marketplace add xai-org/plugin-marketplace then grok plugin install agentery --trust | .grok-plugin/plugin.json, .mcp.json, skills/ |
| GitHub Copilot CLI | copilot plugin install ntlgnc/Agentery-Plugin (see below) | plugin.json, mcp.json, skills/ |
| Claude Code | claude --plugin-dir <clone>, or install from any marketplace that lists it | .claude-plugin/plugin.json, .mcp.json, skills/ |
| Cursor | From a clone as a local plugin, or from the Cursor marketplace once listed | .cursor-plugin/plugin.json, mcp.json, skills/ |
| Codex and other Agent Plugins clients | Install from a clone or a marketplace that lists it | plugin.json, mcp.json, skills/ |
| Gemini CLI | gemini extensions install https://github.com/ntlgnc/Agentery-Plugin | gemini-extension.json |
| Any other MCP client | Add a remote (streamable HTTP) MCP server with URL https://agentery.com/api/mcp and no auth | none |
Claude (claude.ai and Claude Desktop) can also connect directly: Settings →
Connectors → Add custom connector → https://agentery.com/api/mcp.
GitHub Copilot
Copilot CLI reads the Agent Plugins manifest (plugin.json) and mcp.json
at the repository root.
copilot plugin install ntlgnc/Agentery-Plugin
copilot mcp get agentery # shows: Type http, URL https://agentery.com/api/mcp, Source: Plugin
Copilot CLI marks direct repository installs as deprecated in favour of marketplace installs. Once Agentery is listed in the github/copilot-plugins marketplace, install it from there instead:
copilot plugin marketplace add github/copilot-plugins
copilot plugin install agentery@copilot-plugins
Then ask, for example: "Using Agentery, what is a fair monthly price for an AI meeting-notes tool for a small team?" No sign-in or API key is needed for Agentery; Copilot itself needs your usual GitHub Copilot login.
Copilot in VS Code (agent mode): run MCP: Add Server → HTTP →
https://agentery.com/api/mcp, name it agentery, and leave authentication empty.
Tools
The server exposes 23 tools. Each carries MCP readOnlyHint / destructiveHint
annotations.
| Group | Tools |
|---|---|
| Find | search_providers, research_capability, find_market, suggest_alternatives |
| Inspect & compare | get_provider_profile, get_provider, compare_providers |
| Fair prices | price_benchmark, get_group_fair_price, market_report |
| Price index | get_price_index, get_price_index_history (Agent Economy Price Index) |
| Demand | demand_signals, market_gaps |
| Product questions | request_research, get_research, stop_research_updates |
| Your own items | refine_results, report_outcome, create_custom_benchmark, get_custom_benchmark, update_custom_benchmark, delete_custom_benchmark |
16 tools are read-only. 7 write, and each changes only the caller's own items: a research request, a refinement of your own search, an outcome report, or a private benchmark. No tool changes Agentery's shared market data.
Network endpoints and credentials
- Endpoint:
https://agentery.com/api/mcp— Agentery's hosted MCP server over HTTPS (streamable HTTP). Tool arguments are sent there and nowhere else. - Authentication: none. The public server is keyless; the plugin sends no headers and no token.
- Authentication exception: the server also has one partner-only tool,
rank_providers_for_workflow, which requires a partner Bearer key. It is not listed to keyless connections, refuses keyless calls, and is not used by this plugin. - Private benchmarks:
create_custom_benchmarkreturns a private access token. It is a capability for that one benchmark, not an account credential; the plugin does not store it. - Rate limit: 30 tool calls per minute per IP.
- Not included: no hooks, no commands, no lifecycle or install scripts, no local processes, no telemetry, no environment variables and no filesystem access.

Comments
New to MCP?
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.
