Overview

AI-generated overview

A remote MCP server for the AI Alt Finder catalog that lets an assistant search AI tools, look up details, find alternatives, and submit or promote listings.

What you can do
Search the published AI tool catalog by keyword, name, tagline or category, and fetch full public details for a single tool by its listing slug, including description, launch date, revenue signals and for-sale status. List live same-category alternatives to a named well-known AI tool such as chatgpt or notion-ai. Submit a new tool as a draft listing and get a claim link the maker must visit to sign up and publish it. List the optional paid promotion add-ons with their prices, and create a Stripe checkout link for one add-on on one listing.
When to use it
Useful when a user wants to discover, compare or shortlist AI tools by keyword or category, or asks what the alternatives to a named product are. Also relevant for makers who want to draft a listing for their own tool or see paid promotion options.
Requirements
A remote endpoint; nothing to install locally. No authentication, environment variables or headers are declared for the read tools. Submitting a tool requires the maker to visit the returned claim link and sign up to publish it.
Before you install
create_checkout returns a Stripe checkout link for a person to open; nothing is charged until someone completes checkout in a browser, so never treat it as a completed purchase. Paid add-ons cost money in USD and are labeled Sponsored. submit_tool creates a draft listing and should only be used when a user explicitly wants to list their own tool. Revenue figures may be self-reported rather than verified.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open AI Alt Finder 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.aialtfinder%2Faialtfinder/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

Tools

search_tools

Search AI tools

Search the AI Alt Finder catalog of live, published AI tools by a free-text query. Matches on tool name, tagline, or category name (case-insensitive substring). Call this first when a user asks to find, discover, or compare AI tools by keyword, use-case, or category (e.g. 'agents', 'writing assistants'). Returns up to 20 results.

Parametersqueryrequired

get_tool

Get AI tool detail

Fetch the full public detail for one AI tool by its listing slug (as returned by search_tools' toolUrl, e.g. '/tools/acme-writer' -> slug 'acme-writer'). Call this after search_tools to get a tool's full description, launch date, revenue signals (verified or self-reported), and for-sale status. Returns null if the slug doesn't resolve to a live AI Alt Finder listing.

Parametersslugrequired

list_alternatives

List alternatives to a tool

List live, same-category alternatives to a well-known AI tool (e.g. 'chatgpt', 'notion-ai', 'figma'). Call this when a user asks 'what are the alternatives to X' or wants competitors/substitutes for a named product. `target` is the well-known tool's slug, not a listing slug from this catalog.

Parameterstargetrequired

submit_tool

Submit a new AI tool

Submit a new AI tool to AI Alt Finder on behalf of its maker. Creates a draft listing (not yet public) and returns a claimUrl the maker must visit to sign up and claim/publish it. Call this only when a user explicitly wants to list their own tool — never to submit a tool on someone else's behalf without their email. Rate-limited globally to 5 submissions per hour. Supply tagline, problemSolved, logoUrl and imageUrls whenever you can: they are what make the published listing look like a real product page rather than a stub.

list_offers

List paid add-ons (offers)

List the optional paid add-ons a maker can buy to promote their listing (name, one-sentence effect, price in USD). Listing is always free; these only ADD reach and are always labeled 'Sponsored'. Call this to see what's purchasable before create_checkout. During free early access (early-bird), offers are not yet purchasable and this says so (purchasable=false).

Takes no parameters.

create_checkout

Create a checkout link for a paid add-on

Create a Stripe checkout URL for one paid add-on on one listing, and return it for a HUMAN to open. Never present this as a completed purchase: nothing is charged until a person completes checkout in a browser. Returns an error when the listing doesn't exist, the add-on isn't purchasable yet (free early access), or payments aren't configured in this environment.

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.
