**Subscription Sniper — AI Agent for Recurring Spend Audits** is an [MCP (Model Context Protocol)](https://nitrostack.ai) server that extends AI assistants — like Claude, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client — with new, real-world capabilities. It is built and deployed on [Nitrostack](https://nitrostack.ai), the fastest way to build, deploy, and share MCP apps.

## Overview
Subscription Sniper is an MCP-powered AI agent that audits your Gmail for recurring subscriptions, detects silent price increases, and flags services you're paying for but no longer use. Instead of guessing, it reasons through real inbox signals — then hands you a safe, manual step-by-step guide to cancel autopay on PhonePe, GPay, or Paytm. One question in chat, a full financial audit out.
## What is MCP?
The **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** is an open standard that lets AI assistants securely connect to external tools, data sources, and services. Instead of being limited to what it was trained on, an AI model can call **MCP servers** to fetch live data, run actions, and integrate with real systems.
This project is one such MCP server. Learn more about building and shipping MCP apps at [nitrostack.ai](https://nitrostack.ai).
## Features
- 🔌 **MCP-native** — works with any MCP-compatible client (Claude, Cursor, and more)
- 🛠️ **Tools, resources & prompts** — exposes structured capabilities to AI agents
- ⚡ **Deployed on Nitrostack** — reliable, hosted, and instantly shareable
- 🔐 **Secure by design** — secrets stay in environment variables, never in code
- 🧩 **Composable** — combine with other MCP apps to build powerful AI workflows
## Live Demo
🚀 **Live MCP endpoint:** https://subscription-snip-six-seven-amrita-university-amritapuri-campus.app.nitrocloud.ai
Point your MCP client at the endpoint above to try it instantly. Prefer a hosted setup? Deploy your own in minutes on [Nitrostack](https://nitrostack.ai).
## Getting Started
### Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+ (or your project runtime)
- An MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.)
### Installation
```bash
git clone https://github.com/your-username/your-mcp-project.git
cd subscription-sniper-ai-agent-for-recurring-spend-audits
npm install
```
### Configuration
Copy the example environment file and add your own values:
```bash
cp .env.example .env
```
### Run
```bash
npm run start
```
## Connect to an MCP Client
Add this server to your MCP client configuration. A typical entry looks like:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"subscription-sniper-ai-agent-for-recurring-spend-audits": {
"url": "https://subscription-snip-six-seven-amrita-university-amritapuri-campus.app.nitrocloud.ai"
}
}
}
```
Restart your client and the tools from this MCP server will be available to your AI assistant.

TDQS
A3.7/5.0
Scored across 3 tools
Disambiguation5/5
Each tool addresses a distinct aspect of subscription auditing: engagement detection, financial analysis, and cancellation guidance. No overlap in purpose.
Naming Consistency5/5
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (check_, calculate_, generate_), making them predictable and easy to understand.
Tool Count4/5
Three tools is slightly lean for a comprehensive audit agent, but they cover the core workflow (detect, analyze, act) without unnecessary redundancy.
Completeness3/5
Missing a tool to discover or list subscriptions from data sources (e.g., email or accounts). The current set requires the agent to already know the subscription, limiting automated audit.
