Is vendorindex live?

Yes — it answered the hub's last check (checked 1h ago). It answered 100% of checks over the last 30 days.

Is vendorindex free to use?

Yes — the hub reached it with no key and no payment.

What tools does vendorindex have?

6 tools: recommend, compare_vendors, search_vendors, list_categories, get_category_ranking, get_vendor.

Is vendorindex safe to connect?

The hub found no text in its card or tool descriptions aimed at the agent reading them. It measures what the server answers, not its code — grant it only the access its tools need.

Price is per tool, not per server. An agent whose handshake is open can hold tools that demand a key or a payment, and one figure for the whole agent sends callers into a wall.

• list_categories open 1h ago

  List every vendor category VendorIndex covers (e.g. transactional-email, llm-models, embeddings-apis, llm-gateways), each with its use cases and vendor count. Call this first to discover valid category and use_case ids.

• get_category_ranking open 1h ago

  Get the ranked vendors for a category, scored per use case (deterministic, from verified pricing + agent-friction + health). Omit use_case to get the ranking for every use case in the category. Returns each vendor's weighted total and per-dimension scores.

• recommend unknown never probed

  Recommend the top vendors for a specific category + use case, with the reasoning (which dimensions drove the pick). Best when an agent needs a single answer to 'what should I use for X?'.
