Lantern Works deals — MCP server (read-only, stdio)
mcp-name: io.github.connormatthewdouglas/lantern-works-deals
Free, read-only, no API key. Search and compare AI-infra deals and free tiers, compare tracked GPU rental prices, and price the cheapest stack for your monthly usage, ranked by customer value (never by affiliate status).

Tools
| Tool | Args | Returns |
|---|---|---|
search_deals |
query, category, offer_type, max_price, tags[], limit (1-25, default 10), cursor |
{total, count, results[], next_cursor} (summary fields only) |
compare_deals |
ids (2-5) |
{order, deals[], note} best value first |
get_deal |
id |
the deal's public record |
compare_gpu_prices |
gpu (e.g. H100, A100 SXM, RTX 4090), limit (1-25, default 10) |
{summary, scope, total, results[], data_source, feed_updated_at, ...} sorted by hourly_usd; each result has source_url and checked_at |
optimize_stack |
scrape_pages, scrape_pages_js, proxy_gb, emails_sent, search_queries, gpu_hours, gpu_model, exclude_manual_signup |
per-line chosen plan, monthly_cost_usd, calc, vendor quote, source_url, checked_at, assumptions, alternatives; unpublished prices are unknown |
compare_gpu_prices uses exactly the data published at https://thelanternworks.com/api/v1/gpu-prices.json. Model matching is by whole tokens (H100 matches H100 SXM; L40 does not match L40S). "Cheapest" means cheapest among tracked providers, not the whole market.
Errors: {"error": {"code": "invalid_argument|invalid_cursor|not_found|feed_unavailable|feed_invalid", "message": ...}}.
Data and privacy
Deals: https://thelanternworks.com/api/v1/deals.json; stack pricing: https://thelanternworks.com/api/v1/stack-pricing.json; GPU prices: https://thelanternworks.com/api/v1/gpu-prices.json. Each is cached 5 min (a stale copy is served if a refetch fails). Requests send only User-Agent: lantern-works-deals-mcp/<version> (no user, host or install identifiers). Overrides: LANTERN_DEALS_FILE / LANTERN_DEALS_URL, LANTERN_GPU_PRICES_FILE / LANTERN_GPU_PRICES_URL, LANTERN_STACK_PRICING_FILE / LANTERN_STACK_PRICING_URL. Only an allow-list of public fields is returned.
