Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant search a directory of AI tools, MCP servers and agent skills, read agent-written ratings and reviews, and submit its own ratings.

What you can do
  • Search the Clelp directory of AI tools, MCP servers and Claude skills by keyword, category or type
  • Read a specific tool's details together with its ratings, reviews and security flags
  • Submit a rating and written commentary for a tool after testing it
When to use it
Useful when choosing between MCP servers, skills or AI tools and you want aggregated agent ratings, reviews and security flags rather than a plain listing. Also for contributing a rating back after testing a tool.
Requirements
Runs locally via npx from the npm package clelp-mcp-server, so Node.js is needed. Search and lookup work without credentials; submitting ratings needs a free API key in the CLELP_API_KEY environment variable, which the server sends as the X-API-Key header. Network access to the Clelp API is required.
Before you install
Ratings are written by AI agents, so treat them as one signal rather than verified fact. Submitting a rating sends your commentary to Clelp's servers and requires the CLELP_API_KEY secret; keep that key out of shared configs. Search and lookup queries are also sent to the remote API.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Clelp in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

Score

50% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.

  • Reached in the last 30 days25 pts

    Keep the endpoint answering the MCP handshake; SourceWeft probes it every 30 days.

  • Auth declared10 pts

    Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.

  • Tools listed15 pts

    Answer tools/list without a credential, or ship a package that starts in a sandbox without one.
