Look up what bookkeeping software costs a small business a month, ledger included.
Tick Mark Books lets an assistant search, read and compare researched small-business software listings, with pricing, API details and sourced answers.
Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.
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.tickmarkbooks%2Fmcp/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.Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

limitqueryrequiredGet one listing
One tool in full, as answer-first markdown: the summary, then every question on the sheet with its answer, the vendor's own words for it and the URL that proves it. Identical to /{slug}.md and to the HTML page.
slugrequiredList categories
Tick Mark Books's categories with their live listing counts, 0 for one with none yet.
Takes no parameters.
Compare two listings
Two tools side by side, as markdown: taglines, pricing, API availability, tags — the researched compare facts, honest about unknowns.
arequiredbrequiredBest of a category
The Published tools in one category, in the order its category page prints (ranked by what we can confirm: a public price, an API and docs, independent sources, stated limits), as a markdown answer sheet. Payment never moves a row.
categoryrequiredSubmit a listing
Submit a tool to Tick Mark Books: the url alone; we write its name and description from its own pages. Requires an existing signed-in account with verified email; send its session Cookie header on the MCP request, or an agent key the account made at https://tickmarkbooks.com/dashboard/agents as Authorization: Bearer. Identity and email come only from that session or key. Sign in or explicitly create an account at https://tickmarkbooks.com/login?next=%2Fsubmit and verify its email before retrying. This tool creates no account and sends no verification email. Returns {httpStatus:201, id, slug, status:'Draft'}; research + the quality gate decide publication. Your own (url, session email) replay within 24h returns httpStatus:200. The fit check starts at once and usually answers within a minute: poll GET https://tickmarkbooks.com/api/submissions/{id} and wait the Retry-After seconds it sends while fit is "checking". fit then reads "accepted" (it goes live, and the account is mailed), "rejected" (mailed with the reason) or "undecided" (a person looks within 2 days). No session: {httpStatus:401, error:'sign_in_required', message, loginUrl}. Unverified session: {httpStatus:403, error:'email_unverified', message, email, remediation}. The owner must prove the site before anything is listed: the account's address, or an address it proved with a code, must be on the submitted website's domain. Otherwise the answer is the pending state {httpStatus:403, error:'domain_unverified', status:'awaiting_owner_proof', listed:false, message, domain, proveWith, ownerUrl, ownerStep, remediation}: nothing is listed or queued. proveWith names who can receive the 6-digit code (any address at the domain; for a GitHub or other shared-host project, its listed addresses or a one-line file). Submitting for someone else? Give the owner ownerUrl (the submit page with the site filled in): they enter the code there and the listing goes in once proven. With a mailbox at the domain yourself: POST /api/do

What the Tick Mark Books owner dashboard shows about the listings an account owns: each one's status (`status.kind`: review with the expected date, accepted with `liveOn` and `paid` ('express' | 'featured' | null: the paid way that releases it, Featured including VIP listing), live, refused with the reason, or archived), the listing as it shows, 30 days of real numbers with the 30 before, where AI answers named the product or cited its page, and what it can buy here at this site's prices. Only for the account itself: send its session Cookie header, or its agent key with "Read your listings" as Authorization: Bearer. Same answer as GET https://tickmarkbooks.com/api/owner/listings. Read-only: corrections go through the dashboard's request form.

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.
Declare a GitHub repository with a README, or serve resource_documentation in the OAuth protected-resource metadata.
A hosted service is used under its provider's terms, so no license is expected here. This check is left out of the percentage.
