概覽

AI 產生的概覽

查詢一個由人工編輯、收錄 2000 多款 AI 工具的目錄,取得定價、比較、替代方案,以及工具是否仍在營運、已停運或被收購。

可以做什麼
  • 依關鍵字、用途或分類搜尋目錄,並依分類、職務角色或定價列出評價最高的營運中工具
  • 讀取單一工具的完整資料:定價、功能、編輯評價、評分與最後人工查核日期
  • 查詢工具是營運中、已停運還是被收購,含停運日期、原因及仍在營運的替代方案
  • 尋找某工具的精選替代方案,工具已停運時提供仍在營運的替代選擇
  • 並排比較兩款工具,若有編輯的對比結論會一併回傳
適用情境
適合在助理推薦或比較 AI 產品時需要最新事實、而非依賴過時訓練資料的情況,尤其能避免推薦已停運的工具,或回答「X 該換成什麼」這類問題。
執行需求
可使用託管的遠端端點(Streamable HTTP),或透過 npx 執行本機 npm 套件,後者會代理至託管端點。無需 API 金鑰或註冊。選用環境變數 TOOLDIRECTORY_MCP_ENDPOINT 可覆寫上游端點。
安裝前請注意
僅供讀取且無需憑證,但所有查詢都會代理至提供方的託管端點,搜尋詞與工具代稱會傳送給該第三方。推薦結果反映目錄自身的編輯評價與評分,屬第三方觀點。

安裝

在 SourceWeft 中

  1. 開啟 儀表板中的 AI Tool Directory,將其新增到工作區。
  2. 為需要使用其工具的對話啟用該服務。

Web executable,透過 Streamable HTTP。 遠端服務在工作區中設定後即可從網頁執行環境執行。

交給代理程式安裝

把這段提示詞貼上到 Claude Code、Codex、Cursor 等代理程式,或 SourceWeft 對話中。代理程式會讀取該伺服器的安裝指南,先向你展示發布者、端點和登入方式,經你同意後再把它新增到你的客戶端。金鑰不會寫進任何命令。

閱讀 https://sourceweft.com/mcp/ai.tooldirectory%2Fcatalog/install.md,並按其中說明把這個 MCP 伺服器接入我的客戶端。修改任何設定之前,先告訴我它的發布者、端點和登入方式,等我確認。不要把 API 金鑰寫進命令或我會提交的檔案;問我金鑰應從哪裡取得。

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.

輸入參數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.

輸入參數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.

輸入參數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.

輸入參數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.

輸入參數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>".
