We run a public Model Context Protocol server, so any agent — Claude, ChatGPT connectors, Cursor, Windsurf — can search our catalog of 2,000+ AI tools mid-task, compare them, find alternatives, and check whether a tool is still operating before recommending it. Read-only, free, no API key.
Add it as a custom connector (Streamable HTTP) in your client using this endpoint:
No install and no key — it is the same public data the site serves. Calls are rate-limited per IP.
Hybrid semantic search across 2,000+ AI tools. Returns ranked matches with pricing, rating, and category.
The full profile for one tool: description, pricing, key features, the editor’s verdict and rating, the date we last verified it, and the official link.
Whether a tool is still alive — active, deceased, or acquired — with the shutdown date and cause, and live alternatives if it is gone. The fact models get wrong most.
Curated alternatives to any tool. If it has shut down, you get live replacements rather than a dead recommendation.
Two tools side by side, with the editor’s head-to-head verdict and bottom line when we have published one for the pair.
The top-rated active tools in a category or for a job role, with an optional pricing filter.
