FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much does MCP server development cost?
The KNWN MCP Server Build is $1,500, with a $750 deposit to begin. The ChatGPT App Build is $2,500, with a $1,250 deposit. The combined MCP Server and ChatGPT App Build is $3,500, with a $1,750 deposit. The Production Feasibility Sprint is $500 paid in full.
What is included in the $1,500 MCP Server Build?
The entry scope covers one workflow, up to three tools, one existing source system, authentication and permissions, controlled actions where required, logging, tests, client-controlled deployment, documentation, and source-code handover.
Why can a simple MCP demo be built for less?
A demo can skip production authentication, permissions, controlled writes, failure handling, tests, deployment, observability, documentation, and handover. The fixed KNWN build price covers a production scope rather than a disposable protocol example.
Does the number of tools determine the price?
The entry offers include up to three tools or actions for one workflow. More tools matter because each needs schemas, behavior, tests, and acceptance criteria, but write risk, identity rules, source systems, and interface work can matter more than the raw count.
Can KNWN give us a fixed price?
Yes. The published entry offers are fixed for the scope stated on this page. When the project exceeds that boundary, KNWN provides a larger fixed scope, price, delivery plan, acceptance criteria, and exclusions before the additional work begins.
Are OAuth and tenant permissions included?
Authentication and permissions are included within the entry workflow. Multiple identity providers, delegated access, complex tenant switching, unusual object-level rules, or a large permission matrix may require an expanded quote.
Is hosting included?
Deployment to the agreed client-controlled environment is included in the entry builds. Ongoing hosting, cloud usage, AI model charges, API fees, and platform fees are separate unless the fixed scope explicitly says otherwise. KNWN hosting is not required.
How long does delivery take?
The Production Feasibility Sprint takes two business days. A fixed-scope MCP Server Build normally takes two to four weeks, a ChatGPT App Build three to five weeks, and the combined build four to six weeks. The agreed scope confirms the actual delivery date.
