# ServerSearcher

A public MCP server for finding and comparing dedicated, VPS, GPU and cloud plans by specs, location and price. Handy when you want to pick a plan from inside your agent.

## What it does

ServerSearcher plugs into your agent as a remote MCP server and exposes three tools. `search_servers` queries the plan catalogue by type (dedicated, virtual, cloud, gpu), minimum RAM, CPU, disk and bandwidth, GPU model and count, a price ceiling, currency and location — an ISO country code, a `COUNTRY-city` string or a city id. Provider capabilities such as Terraform support can narrow the results too. `get_provider_info` returns a provider profile from its slug, and `compare_providers` puts two providers side by side.

Transport is Streamable HTTP over JSON-RPC 2.0, with requests sent as `POST`. The endpoint lives at `https://www.serversearcher.com/api/mcp`, and `https://www.serversearcher.com/mcp` works as an alias. No auth, no API key. The protocol version is MCP `2024-11-05`, and discovery is available at `/.well-known/mcp.json`.

Requests are rate-limited: a burst comes back as `429` with a `Retry-After` header. Worth knowing if your agent fires many calls in a row — waiting out `Retry-After` keeps you from getting empty answers. MIT licensed.

## When to use it
- find a dedicated server within a RAM target and a price ceiling
- compare two providers by specs and locations
- locate a GPU plan with a specific card model and count
- filter providers by Terraform support
- pull a provider profile and its locations from a slug

## Example prompts
- Compare `hetzner-cloud` with another provider by locations and plan counts
- Show GPU plans with two cards, cheapest first
