Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on.
If a tool disappears, we record the date.
deals
find_deals
Find online retailers that currently have a specific kind of verified deal or policy, ranked. Use for questions like 'who has free shipping', 'which stores give a student discount', or 'what's on sale now'.
lookup
lookup_retailer
Look up verified deals and store policies for a specific online retailer: signup/newsletter offer, free-shipping threshold, return window, price-match, gift cards, student/military discounts, current sale, and the value.us VUS score (our data-confidence rating). Input a store name or domain.
retailer
check_retailer_trust
Get value.us's proprietary VUS score (0-5) for a retailer and when its data was last verified. The VUS score measures how much current, verified data value.us holds on the store (a data-confidence signal) - it is NOT a verdict on whether the store is trustworthy or safe to buy from.

Value Us — questions
Answers built from our own checks of this server.
What can Value Us do?
It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_retailer_trust, find_deals, lookup_retailer. 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 Value Us working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 605 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Value Us?
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 Value Us need an API key?
No. Value Us completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Value Us?
It answers our handshake in 605 ms on average, which is faster than 16% 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.
