What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 12, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • search

    Find x402 / MCP services matching an intent or filter set. Two usage modes (agents pick whichever fits): A. Natural-language: `search(intent="fetch tweets for @user")` B. Pure browse: `search(has_mcp=True, category="defi", top_k=10)` At least one of `intent`, `category`, `chain`,

  • ask_services

    Ask for the best x402/MCP services for an agent intent. This is the high-level discovery tool: it retrieves candidates from the directory, asks the configured backend LLM to rank only those candidates, and returns service cards for the selected recommendations. If the LLM is unav

  • get

    Get full details + ready-to-paste call template for a service. Returns the service card with payment, call, quality, resource samples, and ready-to-use MCP/x402 call hints. Use this after `search` or `ask_services` before paying/calling an external service. Args: slug: Service sl

  • list_categories

    List all available service categories in the directory.

  • stats

    High-level stats about the directory: x402 total, healthy count and chains, plus `snapshot`, the daily digest across x402, MCP and A2A (see directory_stats).

  • get_methodology

    How every score and statistic on agent-tools.cloud is computed. Returns the quality-score components and grade bands per protocol, the nine readiness criteria with weights, payment-evidence grades, the probing schedule and the definitions behind the daily statistics.

  • list_articles

    List published Blog articles, newest first (metadata only). Args: query: Optional words to match in title, summary or body. tag: Optional tag to filter by. page: Page number, 20 articles per page. Use get_article(slug) for the full Markdown body.

  • get_article

    Read one published Blog article: metadata plus the full Markdown body. Args: slug: The article slug, as returned by list_articles.

  • directory_stats

    Daily statistics on the agent-tool ecosystem as seen by our probes. Args: view: "all", "mcp", "x402" or "a2a" to scope the figures to one protocol. Returns counts (indexed, reachable, protocol-verified, readiness A/B), one finding sentence per topic, key facts (x402 prices and ne

  • search_mcp_servers

    Find MCP servers in the directory. Searches the standalone MCP directory (PulseMCP / official MCP registry import) unioned with x402 services that also expose an MCP endpoint. Returns normalised entries with a ready-to-use streamable-http `call_hint.mcp.url`. Args: intent: Natura

  • get_mcp_server

    Get the full card for one MCP server by slug. Args: slug: MCP server slug as returned by `search_mcp_servers` items.

  • search_a2a_agents

    Find A2A agents you can delegate a task to. Args: intent: Natural-language description of the task to delegate. top_k: Max agents to return (1-20). x402_only: When true, only return agents that advertise x402 payment.

    Unified search across x402 services, MCP servers and A2A agents. Args: intent: Natural-language query. protocol: Optional filter: "x402", "mcp" or "a2a". top_k: Max resources to return (1-50).

  • register

    Self-register an x402 / MCP service in the agent-tools directory. Service owners and agents may submit new services here. Submissions are auto-reviewed instantly by x402 verification (no human gate): if the URL proves x402 payment support it is listed immediately and shows up in

  • scan_mcp_safety Looks like an instruction to the AI

    Check an MCP server for malware / prompt-injection lures by its endpoint URL. Give the server's streamable-http endpoint URL. Two paths: * **Already in the agent-tools directory** → returns our LATEST stored rule verdict. Every indexed server is re-scanned hourly, so you get a co

  • claim_service_url

    Issue a fresh ownership token for one exact public HTTPS URL. Authenticate in the MCP Authorization: Bearer header. Publishing and verifying the token is required before editing; URL input alone grants no rights. Args: url: Complete public HTTPS service URL, including its query w

  • verify_service_url

    Verify public ownership proof for your own exact service URL claim. This reads public proof only. It never calls business tools, requests private service credentials, or grants whole-platform permissions. Args: claim_id: Claim id returned by claim_service_url. token: The issued t

  • get_owned_listing

    Read editable metadata for a listing covered by your verified claim. Args: kind: Listing type: x402, mcp, or a2a. slug: Slug from the verified claim's listings or directory search.

  • edit_owned_listing

  • prepare_paid_verification

    Quote a sponsored paid verification of an x402 service. You pay the service once from your own wallet (Base USDC, <= $1; funds go to its payTo). Sign the returned `typed_data` (EIP-712), then call `execute_paid_verification` before `valid_before`. We never sign or hold funds. Aut

  • execute_paid_verification

    Send the signed payment to the service once and score the result. Aborts without paying if price or recipient changed. Never retried; a timeout returns `indeterminate`. status: succeeded | delivery_failed | payment_rejected | indeterminate. Args: id: `id` returned by `prepare_pai

  • get_paid_verification

    Read one of your own paid verifications. Args: id: Verification id. api_key: Optional if the Authorization header is sent.

Common questions

Is agent-tools (x402 + MCP + A2A directory) safe?

It passed 3 of 5 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed yesterday, and the latest version (0.5.1) reached the registry yesterday.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT on the web (full MCP on Business and above; Pro read-only).

What can I use instead?

mcpserver — agent-tools.cloud directory + MCP discovery

The server that powers agent-tools.cloud — an open directory of x402 paid services with a free MCP discovery endpoint. Also listed on Smithery.

Note (2026-05-25): the previously hosted paid Qwen3.6 relay and the paid

vertical endpoints (signal / onchain / defi / portfolio) were retired after

30 days of zero external conversions. This repository now serves the

directory site and the free MCP discovery server only.

The MCP discovery server is also published as a standalone PyPI package: agent-tools-mcp (repo).

MCP discovery tools

search(intent, top_k=5, category=None, max_price_usd=None, has_mcp=None)

ask_services(intent, top_k=5, category=None, max_price_usd=None, use_llm=True) get(slug) list_categories() stats() search_mcp_servers(intent, top_k=5, chain=None, require_healthy=False) get_mcp_server(slug) search_a2a_agents(intent, top_k=5, x402_only=False) search_resources(intent, protocol=None, top_k=10) scan_mcp_safety(endpoint_url, name="", description="", tools_text="") register(url, name=None, description=None, mcp_url=None, category=None)

search accepts natural-language intent and ranks by FTS5 + popularity + health. Each result carries a match_reason and a confidence score. ask_services uses the same retrieval-first / LLM-rerank flow as /api/v1/ask.

scan_mcp_safety vets an MCP server (by endpoint URL) for malware / prompt-injection lures before you connect: an already-indexed server returns our latest stored verdict, an unknown one is probed live, scanned, and added to the directory. The verdict comes from deterministic static rules (no code execution) over the server's advertised name + description + tool docs. Rules cover pipe-to-shell / base64-eval / PowerShell install cradles, bare-IP payload hosts, prompt-injection phrasing, and MCP tool-poisoning coercion — "always call this tool first", "before using any other tool you must…", hidden instructions, "list all API keys / include secrets in your response", and coercion to read & forward .key/.pem/.ssh/.env files. Source-code-oriented rules (SQL/command/code injection) are intentionally not applied to natural-language descriptions to avoid false positives. Each live call also runs a frontier-LLM second opinion as an advisory dimension. It is also exposed as an A2A skill on POST /a2a. The hosted server carries the full tool set above; the stdio agent-tools-mcp PyPI package ships the core search tools only.

Deploy

Production runs behind nginx (vhost: agent-tools.cloud).

cd <install-dir>

sudo git pull sudo systemctl restart mcpserver

systemd units live in deploy/:

  • mcpserver.service — the ASGI app (uvicorn, 127.0.0.1:9100)
  • agent-tools-crawl.{service,timer} — 6h directory crawler
  • agent-tools-health.{service,timer} — endpoint health checks

Config

See .env.example. Required:

  • UPSTREAM_BASE_URL / UPSTREAM_API_KEY — used by /v1/models
  • AGENT_TOOLS_ASK_BASE_URL / AGENT_TOOLS_ASK_API_KEY / AGENT_TOOLS_ASK_MODEL — LLM backend for /api/v1/ask
  • AGENT_TOOLS_SAFETY_BASE_URL / AGENT_TOOLS_SAFETY_API_KEY / AGENT_TOOLS_SAFETY_MODEL — optional override for the scan_mcp_safety advisory LLM (falls back to the AGENT_TOOLS_ASK_* backend)
  • AGENT_TOOLS_DB_PATH — SQLite path for the directory
  • AGENT_TOOLS_ASK_RATE_LIMIT_PER_MINUTE / AGENT_TOOLS_ASK_RATE_LIMIT_PER_DAY — public ask abuse limits
  • METRICS_BEARER_TOKEN — optional remote access token for /metrics; without it metrics are local-only
