What is Perq?

A checked list of free tiers, credit offers and startup programmes, searchable by what you need. Each offer has its eligibility rules, a link to claim it, the source and the date it was last checked, so the assistant is not relying on stale memory.

Our check: Its maker sent it in and we wrote this page from what they published. We have not installed it yet, so there is no tool list or test result here. When it passes our own install check it moves to the main shelf.

Before you add any community server

  • Hosted servers see whatever you send them. Check who runs it and what the sign-in can reach.
  • Servers that run on your computer can do what your user account can. Read the repository first.
  • Keep your app's “ask before each tool call” setting on until you trust it.
