AI Tool Directory

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.

// inputSchema
{
  "type": "object",
  "required": [
    "tool"
  ],
  "properties": {
    "tool": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Tool name or directory slug to check, e.g. \"Jasper\" or \"jasper-ai\"."
    }
  }
}

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.

// inputSchema
{
  "type": "object",
  "required": [
    "slugA",
    "slugB"
  ],
  "properties": {
    "slugA": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Directory slug of the first tool."
    },
    "slugB": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Directory slug of the second tool."
    }
  }
}

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.

// inputSchema
{
  "type": "object",
  "required": [
    "slug"
  ],
  "properties": {
    "slug": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "The directory slug of the tool to find alternatives for."
    }
  }
}

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.

// inputSchema
{
  "type": "object",
  "required": [
    "slug"
  ],
  "properties": {
    "slug": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "The directory slug, e.g. \"gamma-app-ai-powered-presenting-ideas\" (from search_tools)."
    }
  }
}

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>".

// inputSchema
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "role": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Job-role slug, e.g. \"sales\", \"marketing\", \"customer-support\"."
    },
    "limit": {
      "type": "integer",
      "description": "Max results (1-20, default 8)."
    },
    "pricing": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Optional pricing filter: Free, Freemium, Free Trial, or Paid."
    },
    "category": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Category slug (from search_tools results), e.g. \"productivity\"."
    }
  }
}

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.

// inputSchema
{
  "type": "object",
  "required": [
    "query"
  ],
  "properties": {
    "limit": {
      "type": "integer",
      "description": "Max results (1-20, default 8)."
    },
    "query": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "What the user is looking for, e.g. \"AI video editing\" or \"alternatives to Jasper\"."
    }
  }
