What changed 9

Every tool that appeared, vanished or quietly changed what it asks for. Recorded since 18 October 2026. No other catalogue keeps this.

18 Oct 6 tools changed the parameters they ask for grandet_find_cheapest_api, grandet_find_free_credits, grandet_glossary and 3 more

18 Oct 3 tool descriptions were rewritten grandet_find_cheapest_api, grandet_find_free_credits, grandet_glossary

Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Grandet every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

grandet

grandet_find_cheapest_api

Compare Grandet model prices within each unit. Read listings for price-only ordering and conditions; legacy recommended/alternative/cheapest retain their old meanings. Use view=compact for shared connection cards and a short text response. Provide exactly one model or name selector. host records the source only and never selects the inference route. Send targetApp when the user or conversation identifies the intended API application, including explicit use in the current app. With no target, compare directly. An unrecorded app connection permits a price-only recommendation, not a compatibility claim. Omit profile/protocol for a multi-protocol app unless already specified. Existing client remains a legacy target-app alias. Infer coding/chat/long_output from the task; presets are estimates. Use grandet_list_apps only when application facts are needed. Do not request API keys.

grandet_find_free_credits

Find current official free tiers, application-based credits and relay free groups. Return the stated benefit, six requirements, deadline, original observation and claim link. userCanMeet=no_card excludes explicit required/conditional card entries; unknown card requirements remain clearly labelled unknown. Application categories describe programs, not the user’s eligibility. Follow pagination.

grandet_glossary

Look up the published Grandet relay glossary. Site labels are source claims and glossary terms explain them; they do not verify quality. Query q or category and follow pagination. Unknown terms include up to three related FAQ links.

grandet_list_apps

Read the shared Grandet application list and inference profiles before selecting a supplier. App profiles determine API compatibility; MCP capability alone does not prove an inference route or Skill installation. Use only when the target app ID, supported protocol or configuration variant is uncertain.

grandet_quote_evidence

Read one provider's paged public declarations for a model and optional rowId. Use only when a detail matters, not before every recommendation. A missing row on one page is not proof of absence; follow pagination if needed. This does not test model quality or spend money.

grandet_resolve_model

Look up public model identifiers when a requested name is ambiguous. Results are a page of candidates, not a cheapest-provider ranking. Prefer an exact officialId match; do not silently substitute a different model generation.

Grandet — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Grandet do?

It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: grandet_find_cheapest_api, grandet_find_free_credits, grandet_glossary, grandet_list_apps, grandet_quote_evidence, grandet_resolve_model. 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 Grandet 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 272 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Grandet?

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

Does Grandet need an API key?

No. Grandet completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Grandet?

It answers our handshake in 272 ms on average, which is faster than 61% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Grandet open source?

We cannot say either way: written in JavaScript, 741 stars on GitHub and 3 open issues, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
