AI Tool Directory is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server: Search 2,000+ AI tools: pricing, alternatives, comparisons, and live, dead or acquired status. As an MCP server it plugs straight into AI assistants, exposing its functionality as tools the model can invoke on your behalf.
It's a hosted (remote) server — point your client at https://tooldirectory.ai/api/mcp and you're connected, with nothing to install locally. The current release is v1.1.0, published under the MIT license, with source at AI-Directory-Partners/tooldirectory-mcp on GitHub.
You'll find AI Tool Directory in the AI & Agents category here on mcp.site; it connects to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, and any other MCP client — see the install snippets below.
