Compare hosting facts in your AI tool

What you can research

Model Context Protocol (MCP) lets an AI tool request structured information from HostVeritas. The three read-only tools return recorded facts, source information and explicit unknowns.

• search_providers finds published providers by recorded name, hosting category or provider location.
• get_provider opens one provider's public facts, recorded prices, review availability and eligible uptime evidence.
• compare_providers compares two or three providers in the same hosting category.

Public facts cover all published providers, Free and paid, claimed and unclaimed. Search results use alphabetical order. Payment does not buy a ranking advantage in MCP results.

You do not need a HostVeritas account or API key for these public lookups. Your AI tool's own account, usage limits and charges may still apply.

Connect your AI tool

Use this remote server address:

https://hostveritas.net/mcp

Choose Streamable HTTP and no authentication when your client asks. You do not need to download a HostVeritas package.

Codex CLI

Add the server, then check your configured connections:

codex mcp add hostveritas --url https://hostveritas.net/mcp
codex mcp list

Codex saves this connection in your user configuration. Start a new session, then ask one of the questions below. See the official Codex setup example for this command format.

Claude Code

From the project where you want to research hosting, add a connection scoped to that project:

claude mcp add --transport http --scope local hostveritas https://hostveritas.net/mcp
claude mcp get hostveritas

Open Claude Code and use /mcp to check the connection. See Claude Code's MCP instructions for connection scopes and troubleshooting.

ChatGPT

Open Plugins, choose Add → Add custom MCP server, enter the address above and select No authentication. Connect the plugin, then select HostVeritas Hosting Research in your chat composer before asking a research question. Custom connections depend on your account and workspace settings.

Claude

Open Customize → Connectors → Add connector → Add custom connector. Enter the address above and choose No sign-in. Approve the read-only tool calls when prompted.

Which clients have been tested?

Production tests on 11–12 November 2026 used Codex CLI 0.165.0, Claude Code 2.1.282, a ChatGPT custom MCP connection and a Claude custom remote connector. All four called the three tools with real published records. These checks cover the tested account setups; client interfaces, account access and plan rules can change.

Documentation and directory listings

Find connection examples and release history in the public documentation repository. The service also has an official MCP Registry record and a Glama connector listing.

Three questions to try

After connecting, ask your AI tool to use HostVeritas and keep the source links and missing information in its answer.

Find recorded providers

“Use HostVeritas to find providers recorded as offering VPS hosting with a Singapore location. Explain what the location match establishes and what it does not confirm.”

Inspect one provider

“Use HostVeritas to look up ScalaHosting. Show its recorded services, signup and renewal price ranges, review availability and source dates. Keep missing evidence explicit.”

Compare the same category

“Use HostVeritas to compare 20i and ScalaHosting for VPS hosting. Show comparable recorded facts and gaps, cite the profiles and do not choose a winner.”

These examples describe research tasks. They do not promise a matching record, a current offer or a particular answer.

What the records can establish

• Services and locations describe the provider's recorded profile. A location match does not confirm a particular service or plan is sold there.
• Recorded prices are approximate ranges. Check the provider for current plans, billing terms, availability and checkout prices.
• Source and observation dates may be missing. A retrieval or import date does not prove a fact was independently verified then.
• Published review availability is separate from editorial opinion. A claimed profile confirms approved ownership, not hosting quality.
• Uptime evidence appears only where publicly eligible and available. It describes a monitored endpoint, period, source and coverage, rather than every service.
• The tools do not establish a fastest host, a guaranteed budget match or workload-specific compliance. Missing evidence stays unknown.

MCP coverage is separate from website crawler permissions. Read our methodology for how HostVeritas separates provider records, reviews and monitoring.

Availability, privacy and support

The tools read public provider information. They cannot submit reviews, claim profiles, change listings or access private account and billing records.

The application records bounded tool/status and timing metadata, with dedicated MCP logs retained for seven days. Those logs omit tool arguments and returned provider facts. Infrastructure access logs may also apply.

Calls are rate limited. If your client receives a rate-limit response, wait for its retry period before trying again. A provider with no matching published record is different from a connection failure.

Version 0.1.0 is the initial read-only release. If a connection fails, check the launch status above and your client's MCP connection details.

Send connection problems or data corrections to [email protected]. Include your client/version and the error message; omit passwords, API keys and private prompts.

Read our privacy policy and terms. You can also browse the directory or compare providers on the website.
