What’s inside
- The four cost patterns — free and stays free, free tier with a cliff, free connector on a paid host, metered. Nearly every bill you’ll meet is one of these four.
- The table. Twenty connectors, what the free tier actually gives you, what it costs when free runs out. Every row carries the date it was last checked and a label saying whether we tested it, read it on the vendor’s page, or haven’t verified it at all.
- Five traps, including the day-31 cliff measured on our own account the morning it fired, and the auto-recharge setting that cost us money in July.
- Three stacks with monthly totals — solo creator, micro e-commerce, marketer who needs reporting.
This is one chapter. The book is being written.
The rest of The Claude MCP Playbook is the part a table can’t carry: the decision tree for choosing between an MCP connector, a Claude Skill and neither; one comparable card per connector; four complete stacks built for a specific kind of business; a security chapter written from our own mistakes; and a changelog that moves when the MCP spec moves.
Founding price is $19 for the first twenty readers, $29 afterwards. One email when it’s ready — that’s the whole commitment.

The chapter is the compressed version. These guides are where the individual tests live:
- What MCP connectors really cost — the article version of this chapter
- MCP security for non-developers — what write access actually exposes
- Claude Skills vs MCP — we built a Skill to find out when each one wins
- Every guide we’ve published
