Perq MCP Server

About Perq

Perq (https://perq.sh) is a directory of free AI credits, free tiers and startup programs by Avatar 8 LLC. Each offer is copied from the vendor's own page and carries the source URL, a quote from that page and a last-verified timestamp; offers are re-checked daily and closed ones keep their close date.

Remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP, stateless, read-only, no auth, free): https://perq.sh/mcp
Tools: find_credits (search with filters such as category, student, no_application), get_offer, list_packs, get_pack, recently_changed. All tools are read-only (readOnlyHint).

Also available: REST API (GET https://perq.sh/api/search?q=...), an agent skill (npx skills add f-o-x11/perq-skill), and the official MCP Registry entry sh.perq/perq.
