FaCT = Free and Cheap Tokens. That is where the short name comes from.

Current version: 1.3.0

A curated, daily human-verified, machine-readable catalog of persistent free tiers and limited-time token promos for AI models and inference services — exposed as a single MCP server over Streamable HTTP.

What you get

• 8 tools — search_promos, filter_promos, get_promo, list_providers, get_recent_updates, get_expiring_soon, what_can_i_get, report_promo_issue
• 4 resources — catalog://snapshot, catalog://daily/{date}, schema://promo, providers://index
• 3 prompts — daily-deal-brief, pick-for-me, explain-terms
• 17 curated offers (free tiers + limited-time promos) covering OpenAI / Anthropic / Google / Zhipu / SiliconFlow / Alibaba Cloud Model Studio / Cloudflare Workers AI / Groq …

Every promo record carries normalized terms (22 controlled tags), an onboarding difficulty rating (easy / medium / hard) with an Agent fallback path, region disclosure (global / include / exclude), an expiry timestamp (including no_fixed_expiry), a "how to claim" step list, and a human-verified timestamp — the last one is our core differentiator.

Connect

Any MCP client can connect. Authentication is a Bearer token (your Apify API token).

curl -X POST https://neeenja--free-and-cheap-tokens.apify.actor/mcp \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-03-26","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"my-client","version":"1.0"}}}'

Remote (mcp-remote bridge, because the Apify gateway needs a Bearer token per request):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "free-and-cheap-tokens": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://neeenja--free-and-cheap-tokens.apify.actor/mcp", "--header", "Authorization: Bearer YOUR-APIFY-TOKEN"]
    }
  }
}

Local (stdio):

git clone https://github.com/PanStories/free-and-cheap-tokens.git
cd free-and-cheap-tokens
npm ci && npm run build:catalog && npm run dev

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "free-and-cheap-tokens": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Pricing (Pay-Per-Event, no monthly fee)

Nothing is charged while idle. Note: Apify Agentic Payments (x402 / Skyfire) is not available for this Actor — that program requires Standby mode to be disabled, and an MCP endpoint needs Standby. Billing runs through your own Apify token.

Project stance

Open source · No paid placements · No affiliate links · Daily verified data · MIT

Shown consistently in four places: the site's sticky top bar, the bottom of each card, inside the share card, and inside the copy-share text. The original v2 plan was an affiliate model, but the compliance burden (FTC 16 CFR 255, China 《互联网广告管理办法》 Art. 9 & 18) was too heavy. "Curation-as-a-service" turns trust from a relative advantage into a structural one.

Development

npm ci                  # Install (incl. devDeps)
npm run typecheck       # tsc --noEmit
npm run lint            # eslint
npm test                # vitest (schema validation + business logic)
npm run check:p0        # P0 redlines (emoji / purple-pink gradient / bounce easing / placeholder text)
npm run build:catalog   # Build build/catalog.json
npm run build:site      # Generate site/ outputs
npm run preflight       # One-shot run all of the above

Submission & error reporting

• Submit a new promo: see CONTRIBUTING.md
• Error or expired promo: call report_promo_issue, or open a GitHub Issue (template auto-generated)

Privacy

Read-only and stateless — no accounts, no cookies, no trackers, and no personal data collected. See PRIVACY.md.

简体中文

当前版本：1.3.0

一份每日人工核实、机器可读的 AI 模型 / 推理服务持久免费额度与限时 token 促销策展清单，以一个 MCP server 的形式通过 Streamable HTTP 对外提供。

你能拿到什么

• 8 个 tools — search_promos、filter_promos、get_promo、list_providers、get_recent_updates、get_expiring_soon、what_can_i_get、report_promo_issue
• 4 个 resources — catalog://snapshot、catalog://daily/{date}、schema://promo、providers://index
• 3 个 prompts — daily-deal-brief、pick-for-me、explain-terms
• 17 条策展条目（免费额度 + 限时促销），覆盖 OpenAI / Anthropic / Google / 智谱 / 硅基流动 / 阿里云百炼 / Cloudflare Workers AI / Groq …

每条 promo 都带：归类后的条款（22 项受控标签）、上手难度分级（easy / medium / hard）+ Agent 降级路径、区域披露（global / include / exclude）、到期时间（含 no_fixed_expiry）、「如何薅」步骤（hard 项必填），以及人工核验时间 —— 最后这项是我们的核心差异化。

怎么连

任何 MCP 客户端都能连，用 Bearer token 鉴权（Apify API token）：

curl -X POST https://neeenja--free-and-cheap-tokens.apify.actor/mcp \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-03-26","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"my-client","version":"1.0"}}}'

远程（mcp-remote 桥接，因为 Apify 网关要求每请求带 Bearer token）：

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "free-and-cheap-tokens": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://neeenja--free-and-cheap-tokens.apify.actor/mcp", "--header", "Authorization: Bearer YOUR-APIFY-TOKEN"]
    }
  }
}

本地（stdio）：

git clone https://github.com/PanStories/free-and-cheap-tokens.git
cd free-and-cheap-tokens
npm ci && npm run build:catalog && npm run dev

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "free-and-cheap-tokens": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

计费（Pay-Per-Event，无月费）

空闲时不产生任何费用。注意：本 Actor 不支持 Apify Agentic Payments（x402 / Skyfire） —— 该计划要求关闭 Standby，而 MCP 端点必须开 Standby。计费走你自己的 Apify token。

项目立场

开源 · 不接硬广 · 不挂联盟 · 数据每日核实 · MIT

四处置顶一致：站点顶部 sticky 条、每张卡片底部、分享卡片版面内、复制分享文案内。原 v2 计划走联盟返佣，但合规负担（FTC 16 CFR 255、中国《互联网广告管理办法》第九 / 十八条）太重。改为「策展即服务」后，可信度壁垒从相对优势升级成结构性优势。

开发

npm ci                  # 安装（含 devDeps）
npm run typecheck       # tsc --noEmit
npm run lint            # eslint
npm test                # vitest（schema 校验 + 业务逻辑）
npm run check:p0        # P0 红线（emoji / 紫粉渐变 / 回弹缓动 / 空洞占位）
npm run build:catalog   # 构建 build/catalog.json
npm run build:site      # 生成 site/ 全套
npm run preflight       # 一键跑完上面所有

目前版本：1.3.0

一份每日人工核實、機器可讀的 AI 模型 / 推論服務持久免費額度與限時 token 促銷策展清單，以單一 MCP server 的形式透過 Streamable HTTP 對外提供。

你能拿到什麼

• 8 個 tools — search_promos、filter_promos、get_promo、list_providers、get_recent_updates、get_expiring_soon、what_can_i_get、report_promo_issue
• 4 個 resources — catalog://snapshot、catalog://daily/{date}、schema://promo、providers://index
• 3 個 prompts — daily-deal-brief、pick-for-me、explain-terms
• 17 筆策展條目（免費額度 + 限時促銷），涵蓋 OpenAI / Anthropic / Google / 智譜 / 矽基流動 / 阿里雲百鍊 / Cloudflare Workers AI / Groq …

怎麼連

任何 MCP 用戶端都能連，使用 Bearer token 驗證（你的 Apify API token）：

curl -X POST https://neeenja--free-and-cheap-tokens.apify.actor/mcp \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-03-26","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"my-client","version":"1.0"}}}'

遠端（mcp-remote 橋接，因為 Apify 閘道要求每個請求都帶 Bearer token）：

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "free-and-cheap-tokens": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://neeenja--free-and-cheap-tokens.apify.actor/mcp", "--header", "Authorization: Bearer YOUR-APIFY-TOKEN"]
    }
  }
}

本機（stdio）：

git clone https://github.com/PanStories/free-and-cheap-tokens.git
cd free-and-cheap-tokens
npm ci && npm run build:catalog && npm run dev

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "free-and-cheap-tokens": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

計費（Pay-Per-Event，無月費）

閒置時不會產生任何費用。注意：本 Actor 不支援 Apify Agentic Payments（x402 / Skyfire） —— 該計畫要求關閉 Standby，而 MCP 端點必須開啟 Standby。計費走你自己的 Apify token。
