AgentoolRank MCP server

Search and compare open-source AI agent tools from your AI assistant, ranked by live GitHub activity.

AgentoolRank tracks hundreds of open-source AI agent tools (frameworks, coding agents, memory, RAG, evals, MCP servers) and ranks them by GitHub activity: stars, star pace, commits, releases and package downloads, refreshed daily. This repository documents how to connect to its hosted MCP server and JSON API. The server runs on agentoolrank.com; there is nothing to install or self-host.

MCP endpoint: https://agentoolrank.com/api/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no auth required)
Official MCP Registry: com.agentoolrank/agent-tools
Optional API key: one click, no signup, at agentoolrank.com/api-key. Send it as Authorization: Bearer <key> to identify your agent.

Tools

Tool	What it does
`search_tools(query, limit?)`	Find tools for a job, ranked by relevance then GitHub activity.
`get_tool(slug)`	Stars, 30-day star growth, capabilities, limitations and who it is best for.
`get_alternatives(slug)`	Open-source alternatives to a tool, with their GitHub stats.
`submit_tool(url, name, tagline, email, …)`	List a tool. The response shows every pricing option up front, including the free one.
`get_submission_status(submission_id, status_token)`	Review status of a submission.
`recommend_directories(product_type)`	Launch directories our own products went through, with free-tier conditions and the steps only a person can do. The top 5 for each product type are free.
`next_directory(key, product_type?)`	Submit Kit key (9): hands your agent the next directory that fits the product, one at a time (up to 50, at most 3 unreported).
`report_result(key, domain, status, listing_url?)`	Submit Kit key: report what happened at a directory. Reports are leads; listing rates count only listings our own daily check verifies.
`my_progress(key)`	Submit Kit key: every directory handed out so far and its reported status (also at agentoolrank.com/submit-kit/progress).

Prompts

Ready-made prompts your MCP client can offer (prompts/list, prompts/get):

Prompt	Arguments	What it does
`compare_tools`	`tool_a`, `tool_b`	Compares two tools side by side: GitHub stars, 30-day star growth, last release, downloads, best for, limitations
`find_alternatives`	`tool`	Lists open-source alternatives to a tool, ranked by live GitHub activity
`launch_plan`	`product_type` (`ai_tool`, `mcp_server`, `dev_tool`, `saas`, `other`), optional `product_url`	Plans where to list a new product: which launch directories fit it and which to skip
