  PulseMCP publishes NO plans and NO prices for the PulseMCP Registry API or for
  any of its commercial services. Access is partnership-based and negotiated by
  email. This is a deliberate contact-us posture, not an omission we failed to
  find: the /api page says in so many words that PulseMCP is "working directly with
  partners to provide an enriched, curated, quality-controlled MCP server registry
  offering customized to the needs of the partner business" and instructs the
  reader to "please reach out to hello@pulsemcp.com."
