Programscape MCP server

Name: Programscape
Author: programscape

Ask your AI assistant which startup credits, programs and perks fit your company, answered from checked records with official sources.

Server URL: https://programscape.com/api/mcp (Streamable HTTP)

Programscape is an independent map of startup credits, programs and perks: cloud and AI credits, accelerator programs and product discounts from AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, OpenAI, Anthropic, NVIDIA, Stripe and more. Every record carries its official source and the date it was last checked. Providers can't pay for placement.

This repository holds no server code. Programscape runs the server; this page explains how to connect to it.

Searching, comparing and building a review need no account. The first time a plan tool is used, your assistant asks you to sign in to Programscape once, with Google or a one-time email code. There's no password. Sign-in is OAuth 2.1 with dynamic client registration and PKCE. You can disconnect an assistant from Your plan on programscape.com.

What it never does

Say you qualify for a program. The provider decides.
Add amounts into a total. Each figure is that program's own, often an "up to" maximum with conditions.
Pick a winning provider.

Privacy and support
