Lack of cost transparency and evaluation
Problem
Users want to see approximate monthly costs of AI setups, desire a ranking or popularity indicator for shared setups, and are concerned about security and exposure of proprietary workflows when sharing via MCP.
Pain points
- Missing monthly cost information
- No ranking or popularity assessment for setups
- Concern about security and exposure of proprietary workflows
Questions to verify
- Would you be willing to provide an estimated monthly cost for your current AI setup?
- Do you care about having a ranking or popularity indicator for shared setups?
- Are you concerned about security or exposure of your workflow when sharing setups?

This feels self-selective to how some people work, because it requires using MCP to contribute.I'm a reasonably heavy AI user, and have some custom skills/MCP servers I'd share, but there is no way in hell I'm connecting to some arbitrary MCP server and connecting my Github account to it. Nopppppeeeee.

It'd be useful to see "approx monthly cost" or something similar. I love seeing other people's setups, but the first post I clicked on describes at least $400/mo in subscription plans.

quite interesting but i don't see a proper ranking of whose setups are better reviewed or popular?
