Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant search and compare a catalog of over 3,000 checked AI tools, including pricing, liveness, and Effect and Trust scores.

What you can do
EffectHub exposes a remote MCP endpoint for querying a directory of more than 3,000 checked AI tools. According to the registry description, it supports searching and comparing those tools and returns attributes such as pricing, liveness, and Effect and Trust scores. No individual tool names or parameters are listed in the supplied material.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs to look up or compare AI tools and their pricing, status, or scoring before recommending or selecting one. Less relevant if you only need general web search or your own internal tool inventory.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP MCP endpoint at effecthub.net; no packages, environment variables, or headers are declared. The manifest declares no authentication, and no account or API key is mentioned. Network access to the endpoint is required.
Before you install
The manifest declares no authentication, so requests may be unauthenticated and the provider can see the queries sent. No write, payment, or credential-handling behavior is described, but the catalog content and scores come from a third party and should be verified before relying on them.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open EffectHub 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/net.effecthub%2Fcatalog/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

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

get_tool

Get an AI tool's card

Everything public on one EffectHub tool card: what it does, category, pricing model and entry price, Effect score, Trust score, platforms, whether it is still alive and when that was last checked, and the card URL. Takes the tool's slug (from search_tools, or the last part of https://effecthub.net/ai/{slug}).

Parametersslugrequired

list_alternatives

List alternatives to an AI tool

Tools that do the same job as the given one. Alternatives our research named for this tool come first (basis "researched"), then live tools from the same category (basis "category"). Discontinued tools are left out.

Parametersslugrequiredlimit

compare_tools

Compare two AI tools

Two EffectHub tool cards side by side — pricing, scores, platforms, API, liveness — plus the differences in plain sentences. When EffectHub has a researched head-to-head page for the pair, comparison_url links to it.

Score

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.
