AI Tool Directory MCP server

This is a helper that connects your AI assistant to a live catalog of over 2,000 AI tools. It is handy when you want to know what a tool costs, what it does, or whether it still exists. If you have ever been told to try a tool that turned out to be dead, this fixes that.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI a question about AI tools, like whether one is still running or which one is better. Your AI passes that question to this helper. The helper talks to the Tool Directory website, which keeps the catalog and the list of dead tools. The answer comes back into your chat as a short list, a comparison, or a plain yes or no. Nothing is changed anywhere, it only reads.

What it gives back to you

You get answers right in the chat. Sometimes it is a short list of tools with a line about each one. Sometimes it is a side-by-side comparison or a single tool profile with pricing and features. For the status check, you get a clear answer like active, shut down, or acquired, plus the date and reason if it closed, and live alternatives when it is gone.
