Server details

Identifier: tools.awesome/mcp
Transport: Streamable HTTP
Runtime: Web executable
Trust: Verified
Published: Nov 7, 2026

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 awesome.tools, 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

Search a curated directory of SaaS and AI tools, read categories and tags, submit your own product, and verify a backlink badge.

What you can do: Search published SaaS and AI tools by query, category, tag and featured status, with a result limit
Read a single tool's public details, or the status and next steps of an unpublished submission
List directory categories and tags with their slugs and published tool counts
Submit a SaaS or AI tool on a free backlink plan or a paid featured or sponsor plan
Verify that a badge or link is live on your site and schedule publication of a free listing
Send bug reports, feature requests, questions or other feedback to the directory team
When to use it: Useful when you want an assistant to find software or AI tools for a task, research what a listed product does, or publish your own product in the directory and track its listing status.
Requirements: A remote Streamable HTTP endpoint; no API key, account or local installation is needed. Paid plans require completing payment on Stripe outside the MCP session.

Before you install

Submitting a tool writes a listing and may send email to the submitter. Paid plans cost $49 or $149 and return a Stripe Checkout URL only after confirmPaymentSpend is set to true, so confirm the spend with the user first. The free plan requires placing a visible badge link on your site. Feedback and submissions are sent to the directory operator.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open Awesome Tools 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/tools.awesome%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.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Awesome Tools MCP Server: Search Curated SaaS & AI Tools and Submit Your Product

Connect Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Codex, or any MCP client to Awesome Tools over Streamable HTTP. Search curated software and AI tools, browse categories and tags, submit your own product for a free dofollow backlink (DR 20+) or a Featured Launch, verify your backlink badge, and send feedback. No API key or sign-in is required.

This repository contains the setup manifests and agent skill for the hosted Awesome Tools MCP server at https://awesome.tools/mcp.

Add it

The hosted server uses Streamable HTTP and requires no API key, no account, and no local installation.

Claude Code

Run /mcp inside Claude Code to verify the connection and inspect the available tools.

Cursor

Add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json or .cursor/mcp.json inside your project:

Claude Desktop and claude.ai

Open Customize → Connectors → + Add → Add custom connector:

Name: Awesome Tools
URL: https://awesome.tools/mcp
Authentication: No sign in

VS Code

Add this to .vscode/mcp.json (VS Code uses servers, not mcpServers):

json

{  "servers": {    "awesome-tools": {      "type": "http",      "url": "https://awesome.tools/mcp"    }  }}

{  "servers": {    "awesome-tools": {      "type": "http",      "url": "https://awesome.tools/mcp"    }  }}

Codex

Add this to ~/.codex/config.toml:

Claude Code plugin (server + skill together)

This repository is also a Claude Code plugin marketplace:

bash

claude plugin marketplace add Illyism/awesome-tools-mcpclaude plugin install awesome-tools@awesome-tools-mcp

claude plugin marketplace add Illyism/awesome-tools-mcpclaude plugin install awesome-tools@awesome-tools-mcp

Or install the standalone agent skill in any compatible agent:

Tools

Tool	What it does
`search_tools`	Search published SaaS and AI tools on Awesome Tools by `query`, `category`, `tag`, `isFeatured`, and `limit` (default 20, max 50).
`get_tool`	Get a tool by `slug`. Returns full public details for published tools, or submission status, DR eligibility, and next steps for unpublished submissions.
`list_categories`	List all directory categories with their `slug` and published tool count. Use these slugs when calling `submit_tool`.
`list_tags`	List all directory tags with their `slug` and published tool count.
`submit_tool`	Submit your own SaaS or AI tool (`free_backlink` for DR 20+ sites with a reciprocal badge, `featured_49` for $49 Featured Launch without a backlink, or `sponsor_149` for $149 Featured + Newsletter Sponsor). Paid plans always return a price preview first until `confirmPaymentSpend: true` is passed after requester approval, which returns a Stripe Checkout URL.
`verify_my_backlink`	Check that the Awesome Tools badge or link is live on your site (`slug` and optional `backlinkUrl`) for an unpublished free listing and schedule publication once verified.
`submit_feedback`	Send a `bug`, `missing_feature`, `question`, or `other` message to the Awesome Tools team (optionally referencing a tool `slug`).

How tool submission works

Discover categories: Call list_categories to pick 1 to 3 relevant category slugs.
Choose a plan:
- free_backlink: Free for custom domains with Domain Rating 20+ that place a visible Awesome Tools badge or link on their homepage (or a page linked from the homepage). Returns the HTML/SVG badge snippet and instructions.
- featured_49: $49 one-time Featured Launch. Skips the backlink requirement and includes a permanent listing, a dofollow link, and featured placement.
- sponsor_149: $149 one-time Featured + Newsletter Sponsor. Includes everything in Featured Launch plus a Sponsored Pick slot in the Awesome Tools Newsletter and 30 days pinned in category top picks.
Preview before spending: Calling submit_tool with a paid plan and confirmPaymentSpend: false (default) returns the price and benefits without saving a listing or sending any email. After the user approves the spend, call submit_tool again with confirmPaymentSpend: true to receive a Stripe Checkout URL. No payment ever happens inside MCP; the user completes payment on Stripe.
Verify free backlinks: After placing the badge HTML on your site for a free_backlink submission, call verify_my_backlink with your tool slug and backlinkUrl.

100% 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.
