AI Tool Directory

ai.tooldirectory由 tooldirectory.ai 发布官方发布者v1.1.0更新于 Oct 24, 2026

Search 2,000+ AI tools: pricing, alternatives, comparisons, and live, dead or acquired status.

已验证Streamable HTTP可网页运行效率与工作流网页搜索与抓取

概览

AI 生成的概览

查询一个由人工编辑、收录 2000 多款 AI 工具的目录,获取定价、对比、替代品,以及工具是否仍在运营、已停运或被收购。

可以做什么
  • 按关键词、用途或分类搜索目录,并按分类、岗位角色或定价列出评分最高的在运营工具
  • 读取单个工具的完整资料:定价、功能、编辑评价、评分与最后人工核验日期
  • 查询工具处于在运营、已停运还是被收购状态,含停运日期、原因及仍在运营的替代品
  • 查找某工具的精选替代品,工具已停运时给出仍在运营的替代方案
  • 并排比较两款工具,若存在编辑的对比结论则一并返回
适用场景
适合在助手推荐或比较 AI 产品时需要当前事实、而非依赖过时的训练数据时使用,尤其可避免推荐已停运的工具,或回答“X 该换成什么”这类问题。
运行要求
可使用托管远程端点(Streamable HTTP),或通过 npx 运行本地 npm 包,后者会代理到托管端点。无需 API 密钥或注册。可选环境变量 TOOLDIRECTORY_MCP_ENDPOINT 可覆盖上游端点。
安装前请注意
只读且无需凭据,但所有查询都会代理到提供方的托管端点,搜索词与工具标识会发送给该第三方。推荐结果反映目录自身的编辑评价与评分,属第三方观点。

安装

在 SourceWeft 中

  1. 打开 控制台中的 AI Tool Directory,将其添加到工作区。
  2. 为需要使用其工具的对话启用该服务。

Web executable,通过 Streamable HTTP。 远程服务在工作区中配置后即可从网页运行时运行。

交给智能体安装

把这段提示词粘贴到 Claude Code、Codex、Cursor 等智能体,或 SourceWeft 对话中。智能体会读取该服务器的安装指南,先向你展示发布者、端点和登录方式,经你同意后再把它添加到你的客户端。密钥不会写进任何命令。

阅读 https://sourceweft.com/mcp/ai.tooldirectory%2Fcatalog/install.md,并按其中说明把这个 MCP 服务器接入我的客户端。修改任何配置之前,先告诉我它的发布者、端点和登录方式,等我确认。不要把 API 密钥写进命令或我会提交的文件;问我密钥应从哪里获取。

README

Tool Directory MCP Server

[npm version] [license]

MCP server for the AI Tool Directory — a live, human-edited catalog of 2,000+ AI tools. Lets any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, agent frameworks) query the catalog mid-task instead of guessing from a frozen training cut.

The headline tool is check_tool_status: whether an AI tool is still alive. It's the one fact LLMs reliably get wrong — models keep recommending products that shut down months ago. This server answers it from the directory's AI Graveyard, a maintained dataset of 150+ defunct and acquired AI tools, and suggests live alternatives when a tool is dead.

Tools

ToolWhat it does
search_toolsHybrid semantic search across the catalog — by keyword, use case, or category.
get_toolFull profile of one tool: pricing, features, editorial verdict, last human-verified date.
check_tool_statusIs this tool active, deceased, or acquired? Date + cause if it shut down, plus live alternatives.
find_alternativesCurated alternatives to a tool; live replacements if it's defunct.
compare_toolsSide-by-side comparison of two tools, with the editor's head-to-head verdict when one exists.
list_toolsTop-rated active tools for a category or job role, optionally filtered by pricing.

Read-only, no API key, no signup.

Install

Hosted endpoint (no install)

The server is also available as a remote MCP (Streamable HTTP) — point your client at:

https://tooldirectory.ai/api/mcp

Claude Desktop / Claude Code

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "tooldirectory": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "tooldirectory-mcp"]    }  }}

Or with Claude Code:

bash
claude mcp add tooldirectory -- npx -y tooldirectory-mcp

Cursor / Windsurf / other MCP clients

Use the same stdio command: npx -y tooldirectory-mcp.

Docker

bash
docker build -t tooldirectory-mcp .docker run -i tooldirectory-mcp

Example prompts

  • "Is Jasper still operating? What happened to Inflection Pi?"
  • "Find me alternatives to Midjourney with a free tier."
  • "Compare Gamma and Beautiful.ai for making decks."
  • "What are the best AI tools for sales teams?"

How it works

This package is a thin stdio front-end over the canonical hosted endpoint at tooldirectory.ai/api/mcp, where the search (Meilisearch hybrid semantic) and catalog logic live. Tool schemas are declared locally, so initialize and tools/list respond instantly with no network call; tools/call proxies to the hosted endpoint. Zero runtime dependencies.

Set TOOLDIRECTORY_MCP_ENDPOINT to override the upstream endpoint (e.g. for testing).

About the data

The catalog is maintained by Tool Directory — an AI tool company run by humans that use AI. Every listed tool has a lifecycle status; editorial reviews carry a named editor and a last-verified date. Related machine-readable surfaces:

工具

search_tools

Search AI tools

Search the AI Tool Directory catalog (2,000+ AI tools) by keyword, use case, or category using hybrid semantic search. Returns ranked tools with slug, one-line description, pricing model, and rating. Use this to discover tools, then get_tool for full detail.

输入参数limitquery必填

get_tool

Get tool details

Get the full profile of one AI tool by its directory slug: description, pricing, key features, editorial verdict and rating, the date it was last human-verified, lifecycle status, and the official site URL.

输入参数slug必填

check_tool_status

Check if a tool is still active

Check whether an AI tool is still alive. Returns active, deceased, or acquired — with the date and cause if it shut down, and live alternatives if it did. Use this before recommending a tool to avoid suggesting one that no longer exists.

输入参数tool必填

find_alternatives

Find tool alternatives

Find curated alternatives to a given AI tool by its directory slug. If the tool has shut down, returns live replacements. Good for "what should I use instead of X" questions.

输入参数slug必填

compare_tools

Compare two tools

Compare two AI tools side by side by their directory slugs. Returns each tool’s profile (pricing, rating, editorial verdict, lifecycle) plus the editor’s head-to-head verdict and bottom line when one exists for the pair.

输入参数slugA必填slugB必填

list_tools

List tools by category or role

List the top-rated active AI tools in a category or for a job role, optionally filtered by pricing. Good for "what are the best AI tools for sales" or "free tools in <category>".
