What it can do

buy_listing
Buy a Hokai listing for an AI tool, model, agent, MCP server, skill or AI service. Returns checkout_url, a Stripe card payment page for the one-time fee: a person, or an agent that can pay, completes it. Nothing is charged by this call. A person then researches the product and wr
submit_listing

buy_guide_spot
Buy a labelled Sponsored spot for a product in one Hokai guide. Returns checkout_url, a Stripe card payment page. The dates are held for 30 minutes while it is open; the first payment wins. Rule to pass on to the vendor: guide spots are pay first. The entry is written by hand and

Common questions

Is HokAI safe?

It passed 2 of 3 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?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.1) reached the registry 35 days ago.

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?
