Overview

AI-generated overview

Hosted AgentoolRank server that lets an assistant search, compare and find alternatives to open-source AI agent tools ranked by GitHub activity.

What you can do
  • Search and read tool profiles: find AI agent tools by query, then get GitHub stats, capabilities, limitations and best-for notes for one tool.
  • Compare and find alternatives: list open-source alternatives to a known tool with their GitHub stats, plus ready-made compare and alternatives prompts.
  • Submit and track listings: submit a tool to the directory, see pricing options, and check review status with a submission ID and token.
  • Plan and track launch directories: get free directory recommendations, work through a paid Submit Kit list one directory at a time, report outcomes and view progress.
  • Read live resources: an about page on how ranking works and a current top-20 tools table.
When to use it
Useful when choosing between open-source AI agent frameworks, coding agents, memory or RAG tools, or MCP servers and you want live GitHub-based comparisons. Also relevant if you are listing your own tool or product on launch directories and want the steps tracked.
Requirements
Remote Streamable HTTP endpoint at agentoolrank.com; nothing to install or self-host. No authentication is required for search and comparison. An optional API key can be sent as an Authorization Bearer header to identify the agent, and the Submit Kit features require a paid key.
Before you install
Submitting a tool requires an email address and returns paid listing options with checkout links for a human to pay; the Submit Kit key is a paid product. Submissions, directory reports and progress are written to the service, and the optional API key is a credential to keep private.

Installation

In SourceWeft

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

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.agentoolrank%2Fagent-tools/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

AgentoolRank MCP server

[MCP Badge]

Search and compare open-source AI agent tools from your AI assistant, ranked by live GitHub activity.

AgentoolRank tracks hundreds of open-source AI agent tools (frameworks, coding agents, memory, RAG, evals, MCP servers) and ranks them by GitHub activity: stars, star pace, commits, releases and package downloads, refreshed daily. This repository documents how to connect to its hosted MCP server and JSON API. The server runs on agentoolrank.com; there is nothing to install or self-host.

  • MCP endpoint: https://agentoolrank.com/api/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no auth required)
  • Official MCP Registry: com.agentoolrank/agent-tools
  • Optional API key: one click, no signup, at agentoolrank.com/api-key. Send it as Authorization: Bearer <key> to identify your agent.

Tools

ToolWhat it does
search_tools(query, limit?)Find tools for a job, ranked by relevance then GitHub activity.
get_tool(slug)Stars, 30-day star growth, capabilities, limitations and who it is best for.
get_alternatives(slug)Open-source alternatives to a tool, with their GitHub stats.
submit_tool(url, name, tagline, email, …)List a tool. The response shows every pricing option up front, including the free one.
get_submission_status(submission_id, status_token)Review status of a submission.
recommend_directories(product_type)Launch directories our own products went through, with free-tier conditions and the steps only a person can do. The top 5 for each product type are free.
next_directory(key, product_type?)Submit Kit key (9): hands your agent the next directory that fits the product, one at a time (up to 50, at most 3 unreported).
report_result(key, domain, status, listing_url?)Submit Kit key: report what happened at a directory. Reports are leads; listing rates count only listings our own daily check verifies.
my_progress(key)Submit Kit key: every directory handed out so far and its reported status (also at agentoolrank.com/submit-kit/progress).

Prompts

Ready-made prompts your MCP client can offer (prompts/list, prompts/get):

Tools

9

search_tools

[Tool directory] Search open-source AI agent tools (frameworks, coding agents, memory, RAG, observability, MCP servers) ranked by GitHub activity. Returns stars, 30-day star growth, capabilities and alternatives.

Parameterslimitqueryrequired

get_tool

[Tool directory] Get details for one tool by slug (from search_tools): GitHub stats, capabilities, best-for, limitations and alternatives.

Parametersslugrequired

get_alternatives

[Tool directory] Use this when you need alternatives to a known AI agent tool, not launch directories. Pass slug, the tool identifier returned by search_tools (for example, dify), not a URL or directory domain. Returns the source tool slug and its recorded alternatives with GitHub stats for comparison.

Parametersslugrequired

submit_tool

[Tool directory] List an AI agent tool (framework, coding agent, MCP server, memory/RAG, evals, browser agent...) on AgentoolRank for free. The free listing is queued; the response lists every paid option (price, days to go live, checkout_url for your human to pay) and recommends the cheapest one that fits max_budget_usd / deadline_days. Returns submission_id + status_token for get_submission_status, and message_for_human: a summary to forward to your human.

Parametersurlrequirednamerequiredemailrequiredtaglinerequiredgithub_urldeadline_dayswant_featuredmax_budget_usd

get_submission_status

[Tool directory] Use this when checking the AgentoolRank review status of a tool you submitted via submit_tool. Requires submission_id and status_token from that submission; returns review status, queue position and listing URL when available. Not for launch-directory progress — that is my_progress.

Parametersstatus_tokenrequiredsubmission_idrequired

recommend_directories

[Launch directories] Use this when you need a free overview of the best-fit launch directories for a product_type: top 5, no key required, with conditions and submission steps. An optional valid Submit Kit key ($29) returns the full overview and directories to avoid. To work through the full list one directory at a time with a Submit Kit key, use next_directory instead.

Parameterskeylanguagesopen_sourceproduct_typerequired

next_directory

[Launch directories] Use this when working through launch directories with a required Submit Kit key. Returns exactly one next directory when available; submit there, then call report_result. May return report_first or done instead. At most 3 unreported sites, up to 50 per key; product_type is bound on first issuance. For a free overview list, use recommend_directories.

Parameterskeyrequiredproduct_type

report_result

[Launch directories] Use this when recording an outcome for a domain issued by next_directory, not submitting a tool to AgentoolRank. Requires the same Submit Kit key, that domain and status: submitted, listed, rejected, failed or skipped; listing_url and note are optional. Records the outcome and clears that site's unreported slot. Reporting 'listed' is only a lead: it counts toward listing rate only after our daily check finds it live.

Parameterskeyrequirednotedomainrequiredstatusrequiredlisting_url

my_progress

[Launch directories] Use this after report_result or to resume a session; requires the Submit Kit key. Returns product_type, cap, sites, progress_page and counts: issued (total handed out), unreported, submitted, listed_reported, rejected, failed and skipped. Outstanding sites have status 'issued' in sites. Remaining allowance is cap minus issued, not a returned field or a guarantee of matching directories. Not for AgentoolRank listing review status — that is get_submission_status.

100% 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.
