For AI assistants & developers
Ask your AI about this week’s plugin deals.
NewVSTs runs a free, read-only MCP server and JSON API. You get live intro prices, exact deal end dates, this week’s releases, and format/OS filters (CLAP, Linux, AAX) that general chatbots can’t answer reliably. No key, no signup.
Use NewVSTs in your AI assistant: add https://newvsts.com/mcp as a custom connector in Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini, then ask it what’s on sale.
