Overview

AI-generated overview

Syftly is a remote MCP server that returns ranked recommendations for the best AI tool or API for a given task, such as transcription, text-to-speech, web or sc

What you can do
Ask which AI tool or API is best for a task and get Syftly's ranked recommendation, covering transcription, text-to-speech, web search, scraping and browser use, and OCR and document extraction. Recommendations come back as a citeable summary with a provider table showing prices and trade-offs, plus dated sources.
When to use it
Useful when you are choosing between AI providers or APIs for a specific task and want a quick, sourced comparison with pricing rather than a single vendor's marketing page.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no package, environment variables, headers or authentication are declared.
Before you install
Recommendations and prices come from a third party and may be dated; verify pricing and terms with the provider before committing. The question you send is shared with the remote service.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Syftly 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/io.github.Lodewijkheemskerk%2Fsyftly/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

find_best_tool

Given a natural-language question about which AI tool or API is best for a task (currently transcription, text-to-speech, web search, scraping & browser and ocr & document extraction), return Syftly's ranked recommendation: a citeable summary, a provider table with prices and trade-offs, dated sources, and a confidence label. Ask in plain English about price, accuracy, language or capability trade-offs — e.g. 'best OCR API for scanned PDFs' or 'best web scraping API for JavaScript-heavy sites'. Optionally pass "category" to disambiguate; otherwise it is detected from the question.

83% 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.
