Find verified free AI credits, free tiers, startup programs and student perks for LLM APIs, GPUs, voice, databases and dev tools through Perq's read-only search API or hosted MCP server. Use when the user asks what free credits they can get, the cheapest way to try a model or API, or which startup or student programs apply. Every answer carries the vendor's source link and a last-verified date.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Perq [Perq](https://perq.sh) is a directory of free AI credits, free tiers, signup credits, startup programs and student perks. Each offer is copied from the vendor's own page and carries that page's URL (`source_url`), a verbatim quote from it (`source_snippet`) and a `last_verified` timestamp. Closed offers stay listed but are excluded from search by default. No API key or account; everything is read-only. ## When to Use This Skill - "What free credits can I get for speech-to-text / GPUs / vector DBs / observability?" - "What's the cheapest way to try this model or API?" - "Which startup programs can a bootstrapped (or VC-backed) startup apply to?" - "What do students or researchers get for free?" - "Is this vendor's startup offer still live, and how do I claim it?" ## What This Skill Does 1. Sends the user's need in plain words to the search API (or the `find_credits` MCP tool). 2. Optionally narrows by category, offer type, student eligibility, or "no application needed". 3. Reports each matching offer with its exact credit wording, eligibility, claim link, source link and last-verified date. …

How to install
mdr add davepoon/buildwithclaude/perq@sha256:27667a75ccceb47eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.9a5092f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
