# Cheap NY Publication MCP server

Ask your AI assistant about any New York LLC: its publication deadline, the county on file, what publication costs, whether a new name is free, and what forming an LLC or filing a Biennial Statement, DBA or Certificate of Good Standing costs. Answers come from New York State's live business register (Department of State data on data.ny.gov) and [Cheap NY Publication](https://cheapnypublication.com)'s real prices.

It is a remote MCP server. No account, no API key, nothing to install or run.
