# Use the index from your AI agent (MCP server)

AI agents and assistants can query the index directly through a read-only MCP server, with no key and no sign-up:https://index.therunup.ai/mcpWhat it answers, each with the page to cite and the date the vendor's site was read:shortlist_vendors: the best few vendors for each service an event needs (for example a DJ, photographer and florist for a bar mitzvah in Brooklyn), within a budget.search_vendors: vendors by category, area, event type, price or online booking.get_vendor and compare_vendors: every fact about one vendor, or up to five side by side, with the quote from each vendor's own site.get_price_summary: what a service costs in an area (median and middle half), with one sentence you can quote.search and fetch: the pair ChatGPT connectors and deep research use.list_categories: categories, areas and event types it covers.ConnectClaude Code: claude mcp add --transport http runup-index https://index.therunup.ai/mcpClaude (web or desktop): Settings, Connectors, Add custom connector, URL https://index.therunup.ai/mcpChatGPT (developer mode) and other MCP clients: add a remote MCP server at https://index.therunup.ai/mcp (streamable HTTP, no authentication).The server reads only what this site publishes, refreshed after each nightly update. Without MCP, the same data is at llms.txt, in a Markdown or JSON copy of every page, and in the dataset.
