Summary generated from the project's README
About aifree.dev MCP server
aifree.dev serves as a curated directory designed to help developers and students access artificial intelligence resources without immediate costs. It provides a centralized list of free AI tools, API credits, free tiers, and specialized startup programs. The directory covers a wide range of modalities including coding, image generation, voice synthesis, and video creation.
Users can find specific offers such as free compute credits for running AI sandboxes, API access for various large language models, and educational discounts. For example, students can access Azure credits or JetBrains professional IDEs, while startups can apply for significant cloud credits from Google Cloud or Anthropic. The platform highlights specific limits and requirements, such as the need for a GitHub account for AgentRouter or the lack of credit card requirements for several services like Alysis Code or Deepgram.
What you can do with it
- 1Access free coding modelsFind platforms that offer free credits to run hosted DeepSeek coding models.
