## Quality 92/100 (strong)

### protocol: 88 (weight 25)

- pass `protocol.modern`: supports 2026-07-28 (server/discover)
- pass `protocol.stateless`: answers without a session
- pass `protocol.transport`: streamable HTTP
- warn `protocol.list_ttl`: tools/list declares ttlMs 0, so clients re-fetch it on every use

### authorization: n/a (weight 15)

- n/a `auth.prm`, `auth.as_metadata`, `auth.cimd`: no remote uses OAuth
- n/a `auth.secret_in_url`: no templated URL

### tool hygiene: 93 (weight 30)

- pass `tools.descriptions`: every tool has a description
- warn `tools.description_length`: 1 tools have descriptions over 1,024 characters, which crowds the context
- pass `tools.schemas`: every tool has an object input schema
- pass `tools.annotations`: 3 of 3 tools declare readOnlyHint or destructiveHint
- pass `tools.directory_hints`: every tool declares readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint and openWorldHint
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 1,728 tokens to load every tool
- pass `tools.api_dump`: tools are not a one-to-one API dump

### stability: 100 (weight 15)

- pass `stability.changes`: no tool changes in 30 days
- pass `stability.rug_pull`: no tool changed its meaning under the same name

### dependencies: n/a (weight 15)

- n/a `deps.known_vulns`, `deps.mcp_sdk_version`, `deps.resolvable`: no npm or PyPI package

- tools: 3, about 1,728 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: d5b889512b277ae360c306c31a7a831e
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/co.startupperks/startup-perks.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/co.startupperks/startup-perks)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

## Tools (3)

- `find_startup_perks`: Rank the startup credits, perks and deals one specific company can claim, from a catalog of 1,000+ programs (AWS Activate, Google for Startups, Microsoft for Startups, NVIDIA Inception, Anthropic, Stripe Atlas, Mercury, HubSpot and more). Use it when the user describes their own startup and asks what they can get or qualify for; use search_startup_perks to look up a provider or topic without a company profile, and get_startup_perk for one program's full terms. It checks each program's stated eligibility (stage, funding gate, raised-amount cap, company age, region) against the profile, ranks the categories the user needs first and takes each need in turn, and leaves out programs whose applications are paused or closed. Returns up to 25 programs, each with the value as the provider states it, whether the company qualifies and why, how to claim it, and links to the StartupPerks page, the provider's application and the provider's terms, plus a realistic claimable total (one program per provider, cloud counted once). Read-only; values are headline maximums, not guarantees.
- `get_startup_perk`: Return the full terms of one startup program. Use it after find_startup_perks or search_startup_perks by passing the slug from a result's details_url, or with a program or provider name when the user asks about one program (for example "What are the terms of AWS Activate Founders?"). Returns what the program gives, every eligibility gate (stages, funding requirement, raised-amount and company-age caps, regions), other requirements, expiry, how to claim, the application status and when it was last verified, the provider's apply and source links, up to 3 open alternatives from other providers in the same category, and the category guide. Returns an error when nothing matches; search_startup_perks can then find the program. Read-only.
- `search_startup_perks`: Search the catalog of 1,000+ startup programs by provider, program or topic. Use it for questions like "Does Stripe have a startup program?" or "Which providers give GPU credits?", or to browse a category, a benefit type, or programs open to any startup without investor or accelerator backing; use find_startup_perks instead when the user wants what a specific company qualifies for. A provider or program name returns only programs that carry that name; a topic (CRM, banking, GPU, payroll) also matches the category that covers it, and rarer words weigh more. Programs whose applications are paused or closed are left out. Returns up to 25 programs with the stated value, the primary eligibility gate and links, plus a page to browse more. Read-only.
