Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified that this server's namespace belongs to appboard.pro, which also runs its endpoint. That identifies the publisher; it does not make the server's tools safe.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant search community-ranked software products, including trending launches, product details, and alternatives to a tool.

What you can do: This remote MCP server connects an assistant to AppBoard.pro product discovery. Based on the registry description, it supports searching community-ranked software products, browsing trending launches, looking up details about a product, and finding alternatives to a given tool. No individual tools are listed in the manifest, so the exact tool names and parameters are not documented here.
When to use it: Useful when you want an assistant to research software options, check what is currently trending, or suggest alternatives to a tool you already use. It fits product discovery and comparison questions rather than tasks that modify data or run code.
Requirements: It runs as a remote streamable HTTP endpoint at the provider's API host, so no local runtime or package install is needed. The manifest declares no authentication, no environment variables, and no headers, so no credentials appear to be required. Network access to the provider's endpoint is necessary.

Before you install

The manifest declares no authentication, environment variables, or headers, so no secrets are requested. Search queries are sent to the third-party provider, which may log them. Product rankings and details come from that provider and may be incomplete or promotional; verify important claims before relying on them.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open AppBoard.pro product discovery in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
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/pro.appboard%2Fappboard/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

appboard_alternatives_to

Find products offered as alternatives to a tool the user ALREADY USES — "what can I use instead of Notion / Product Hunt / Zapier". Pass the tool's target slug. This differs from appboard_find_alternatives, which starts from a product listed on AppBoard; use this one when the user names the tool they want to replace. Call appboard_list_alternative_targets when unsure which slug a tool has.

Parameterstoolrequired

appboard_browse_taxonomy

List the controlled vocabulary for a dimension — categories, use cases, platforms, audiences or pricing models. Call this to discover the exact filter values appboard_find_products accepts, and to answer "what categories exist". Each term carries the appboardUrl of its browse page.

Parameterskindrequired

appboard_find_alternatives

Find alternatives and competitors to a specific product. Use this for "what's a good alternative to X" or "what else is like X". Alternatives that are themselves on AppBoard include a slug you can pass to appboard_product_details and an appboardUrl. When the tool being replaced has an AppBoard collection, alternativesPage is the URL of that "alternatives to X" page — share it with the user.

Parametersslugrequired

appboard_find_products

Search AppBoard for software products by need, category, use case, platform, audience or pricing model. Use this whenever the user asks what tool to use for a job ("a free email API", "note-taking apps for teams"). Results are ranked by real community engagement, not by advertising. Filter values are the names returned by appboard_browse_taxonomy — an unknown name is an error, so list the vocabulary first if you are unsure. Each product carries an appboardUrl, and each of its categories, use cases and platforms carries the appboardUrl of its browse page.

Parameterslimitquerypricingaudiencecategoryplatformuse_case

appboard_list_alternative_targets

List the tools AppBoard has alternatives for, most-covered first, with the slug to pass to appboard_alternatives_to. Use it to resolve a tool name to a slug, or to answer "what tools do you cover alternatives for".

Parameterslimit

appboard_product_details

Get everything AppBoard knows about one product: what it does, its pricing model, platforms, use cases, target audiences, community metrics, any discount code, and its alternatives. Use after appboard_find_products when the user asks about a specific product. Taxonomy terms link to their browse pages; an alternative that has its own AppBoard collection carries alternativesPage — the URL to open for it.
