  Vendia has no test-vs-live key separation, no magic test values, no test cards and
  no fixture/trigger tooling — it is not a payments API. What it offers instead is a
  genuinely free, self-service production tier plus runnable quickstarts. Recorded as
  what it actually is; nothing invented.

  name: Free
  price: $0/user/month

    One MCP Gateway in us-east-1, up to 100,000 MCP calls per month, 3 S3 buckets,
    2 API Connections and 2 remote MCP servers — enough to exercise the whole MCP
    surface without a sales conversation. Real data, not a mock environment.
test_key_separation:
  supported: false
  note: No test-mode key prefix or sandbox/live mode switch is documented.
test_values:
  cards: []
  accounts: []
  identifiers: []
  note: Not applicable — Vendia is a data/MCP platform, not a payments or comms API.

findings:
- id: mcp-sandbox-host-broken
  severity: notable
  description: >-
    The banner on www.vendia.com links a "MCP Sandbox" at https://mcp-sandbox.vendia.com/,
    but that host presents a TLS certificate for *.netlify.app — the hostname does not
    match, so every standards-compliant client (curl, browsers) refuses the connection.
    Fetched with verification disabled it returns HTTP 404 with a 50-byte text/plain
    body. The advertised sandbox is unreachable as published.
