1. Add the connector
https://mcp.hostingbrain.ai/mcp
- Claude (web/desktop/mobile): Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste the URL
- ChatGPT (Plus/Pro): Settings → Connectors → Advanced → Developer mode → add the URL
- Any MCP client: Streamable HTTP + OAuth — sign in with Google on the connect page
2. Ask a real question
Try one of these — each returns the answer with its as-of date, denominator and caveats:
- “How concentrated is the Danish hosting market, and who effectively owns it?”
- “What does entry shared hosting cost in the Netherlands, and how steep are renewal cliffs?”
- “Which European markets have the weakest email enforcement?”
Every published analyst brief and market page carries a prompt that reproduces it.

When you outgrow the free tier
Pro adds named operators; Analyst adds dossiers, ownership evidence and integration analysis. Both are monthly subscriptions you can start in a minute and cancel any time - compare plans and subscribe, or book a walkthrough.
Using your subscription key
Polar, our merchant of record, issues the key as soon as you pay and gives you a customer
portal - that is where the key, your invoices and the cancel button live. Keys look like
HB_PRO-... or HB_ANALYST-....
Add the connector as in step 1, click Connect, and paste the key on the HostingBrain page.
Scripts and other MCP clients send it as Authorization: Bearer <your key>.
Cancel any time in the portal; the plan runs to the end of the month you have paid for, and the
key stops working then.
