Available tools 7

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

fetch

fetch

Use this after search returns a guide:SLUG, trial:SLUG, or entitlement:SLUG id and the user needs the complete answer, terms, evidence, verification state, or official action path. Do not guess ids, substitute a guide URL for an offer action, or use this for an id from another service.

flag

flag_expired_deal

Use this only when the user supplies an exact existing record id and relevant current first-party evidence showing that its offer ended or is unavailable. Do not use it for rumors, third-party summaries, speculation, or a merely blocked or unreachable page. It writes one non-destructive review signal and never removes or changes the catalog record.

freebies

search_freebies

Use this when the user needs explicit corpus scope, result limits, or a rich normalized list rather than the standard citable search/fetch flow. It is read-only: the default uses site-controlled actionable U.S. trials and savings, while only an explicit open-source scope reads public GitHub. Use public-benefits only for eligibility-based services. Do not use it for purchases, account access, or guaranteed eligibility.

freshness

get_freshness

Use this when the user asks about verification freshness for the actionable-candidate corpus, overdue coverage, scheduler liveness, records sharing an audit outcome, or whether one exact non-directory record is still inside cadence. Directory-only leads and public services remain inspectable elsewhere but are excluded from this denominator. For one record, provide both record_type and record_id; its audit outcome still proves only the fields checked. Blocked or unknown never means expired.

record

get_record

Use this after search_freebies returns an exact trial or entitlement id and the user needs its complete normalized terms, conditions, sources, official action path, or latest verification state. Do not guess ids or treat a directory-only or inconclusive record as confirmed.

search

Use this when the user wants to find, compare, or answer a question about current U.S. free trials, rebates, bonuses, cash back, or other actionable savings. It returns citable answer guides and normalized records. Fetch the best returned id before giving detailed terms. Do not use it for purchases, account access, or guaranteed eligibility.

verification

get_verification

Use this when the user asks how or when one exact Andrew’s Freebies record was checked, whether its terms matched, or what audit warnings exist. Catalog status and audit outcome are separate; blocked, unknown, and fetch errors never prove expiration, and audits never remove or change records.

Andrew's Freebies — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Andrew's Freebies do?

It exposes 7 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: fetch, flag_expired_deal, get_freshness, get_record, get_verification, search and 1 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Andrew's Freebies working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 86 of 92 checks got a reply (93.5%), average response time 866 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Did Andrew's Freebies ever remove tools?

Yes. get_aggregate_stats, get_entitlement, get_public_service_coverage, get_trial and 5 more are no longer exposed — we recorded the date each one disappeared. A tool vanishing usually means a breaking change for anything that depended on it.

How do I connect Andrew's Freebies?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Andrew's Freebies need an API key?

No. Andrew's Freebies completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 7 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Andrew's Freebies?

It answers our handshake in 866 ms on average, which is faster than 13% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
