它能做什么
工具名称和描述与服务器在 2026年11月6日 报告的完全一致。这些内容由作者撰写,不是我们写的;我们以纯文本形式显示。
search_toolsSearch and filter software tools from Toolradar's catalog of 10,000+ tools. Returns names, taglines, pricing, scores and categories. Cite Toolradar and the verification date when quoting prices.
recommend_toolsRecommend the best tools for a described need, with a justified, sourced shortlist (why, fit_score, caveats, verified price). Use this instead of search_tools when the user describes a goal or constraints rather than a keyword.
get_toolGet full detail for one tool by slug: description, pricing, pros/cons, features, score, review synthesis, and toolradarData (dated positions among tools in the same category, with a citableSentence to quote with its date). Use search_tools first if you do not know the slug.
get_pricingGet a tool's pricing in one shape (normalized: price per month, unit, billing, free plan), with provenance (lastVerifiedAt, sourceUrl, confidence), hidden costs and recent price changes. Cite the verification date when quoting a price.
compare_toolsCompare 2 to 4 tools side by side with computed insights. Compact by default; pass detail "full" for descriptions, pros and cons.
get_alternativesGet real, AI-identified alternatives to a tool (direct competitors, not category matches).
verify_priceRead the vendor's pricing page now and check the stored prices against it. Returns each plan's result, the read date and a hash of the page. Needs a free API key; one read per tool per day.
agent_trendsWhat AI assistants open on Toolradar while answering people, in aggregate and anonymous: most read tools, most compared tools, top categories, from verified assistant traffic. MCP-only figures appear once they reach 1,000 calls a week.
changes_sinceSoftware pricing changes Toolradar confirmed on vendor pages since a date, newest first. A vendor's own site does not give you this. The record starts in October 2026: no entry for a tool means no change recorded, not proof of a stable price.
list_categoriesList the software categories Toolradar tracks.
report_issueReport a data problem you spotted (wrong price, dead tool, missing feature). Files it to the Toolradar verification queue. Use this when our data looks wrong so we can fix it: what Toolradar shows, what the vendor's own page says, and that page as evidence. A report on a tool and

常见问题
Toolradar 安全吗?
它在 3 项适用的基础检查中通过了 3 项。我们没有阅读代码。在添加密钥或令牌之前,请先看看这个服务器要求哪些权限,并使用只具备所需权限的密钥。
它需要哪些密钥或代码?
你需要填写:TOOLRADAR_API_KEY
它在我的电脑上运行还是在云端?
两种方式都可以:安装在你的电脑上,或者连接云端版本。
它还在维护吗?
GitHub 仓库最后更新于–,最新版本(2.4.0)于5天前进入注册中心。
哪些应用可以使用它?
支持 MCP 的应用,例如 Claude Desktop、Claude Code、Cursor 和 VS Code。它通过 URL 连接,所以接受远程 MCP 服务器的应用也可以使用,例如开启开发者模式的 ChatGPT。
有什么可以替代它?
同一分类中有:Context7, Codebase Memory, Exa

Toolradar MCP Server
Search, compare and price 10,000+ software tools from your AI assistant. Every price comes with the date it was read on the vendor's own pricing page.
Works with Claude (Desktop, Code, claude.ai) · ChatGPT · Cursor · VS Code · Windsurf · Cline · any MCP client. No API key and no signup needed.
Add to VS Code
What can your AI do with this?
- "Recommend a CRM for a 5-person B2B startup under $50 a month"
- "Compare Notion, ClickUp and Asana"
- "What are the alternatives to Jira?"
- "How much does Figma cost, and when was that price checked?"
- "Find free password managers"
Quick setup
Claude Code (hosted endpoint, nothing to install):
claude mcp add --transport http toolradar https://toolradar.com/api/mcp
Claude Code plugin (the same server plus a skill that tells Claude when to use it):
claude plugin marketplace add Nadeus/toolradar-mcp
claude plugin install toolradar@toolradar
Claude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients with custom connectors: add a remote MCP server with the URL https://toolradar.com/api/mcp (no authentication).
Claude Desktop, or any client that starts local servers (claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": { "toolradar": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "toolradar-mcp"] } } }
Cursor: use the button above, or Settings > MCP > add https://toolradar.com/api/mcp. VS Code: use the link above, or code --add-mcp '{"name":"toolradar","url":"https://toolradar.com/api/mcp"}'.
11 tools
| Tool | What it does | Example prompt |
|---|---|---|
recommend_tools | Reads a described need (category, team size, budget), returns a short list ordered by fit, with the reason, caveats and the verified starting price | "What should a 6-person agency use for a CRM under $40/mo?" |
search_tools | Keyword search; a category name ("crm", "password manager") or "alternative to X" returns that category's leaders or X's alternatives | "Find free project management tools" |
get_tool | Full profile: pricing, pros and cons, features, score, review synthesis | "Tell me about Linear" |
compare_tools | Side-by-side comparison of 2-4 tools | "Compare Notion, ClickUp and Asana" |
get_alternatives | Direct competitors of a tool | "What are the alternatives to Jira?" |
get_pricing | Tiers and prices with provenance: source page, verification date, confidence | "How much does Figma cost?" |
list_categories | The categories and how many tools each holds | "What categories are available?" |
report_issue | Report a wrong price, a dead tool or a missing feature to the verification queue | "Notion shows $8 but their site says $10" |
verify_price | Reads the vendor's pricing page now and checks the stored prices against it (needs a free key) | "Is Notion's price still right today?" |
changes_since | Pricing changes confirmed on vendor pages since a date | "Which CRM prices changed since October 1?" |
agent_trends | What AI assistants open on Toolradar: most read and most compared tools, top categories | "Which tools do AI assistants look up most?" |
Every data answer includes a ready-to-use citation (Toolradar, verification date, link): quote it when you use the data. A product we do not list comes back with a not_listed note, never a lookalike.
For software vendors: keep your own listing right
Add https://toolradar.com/mcp instead (Claude: Customize, Connectors, Add custom connector; ChatGPT: Add custom MCP server, OAuth). It has the same 11 tools plus 4 owner tools that ask you to sign in to Toolradar the first time: update_my_listing, get_my_listing, add_my_product (files a new product for review, free) and undo_listing_edit. Every change is previewed first and logged.
What data do you get?
- Verified pricing: tiers read from the vendor's pricing page, with the date of the last check
- Editorial score (0-100) and review ratings aggregated from review platforms
- Pros, cons and features
- Alternatives identified per tool, not just "same category"
- Positions among tools of the same category, dated
Limits
| Access | Calls per day |
|---|---|
| Anonymous (nothing to configure) | 500 per IP |
Free key, no signup: curl -X POST https://toolradar.com/api/v1/keys | 10,000 |
| Key created in your dashboard | 10,000 per account |
Set the key in TOOLRADAR_API_KEY, or send it as Authorization: Bearer to the hosted endpoint. Limits reset at 00:00 UTC.
Environment variables
| Variable | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
TOOLRADAR_API_KEY | No | none | Raises the daily limit (see above) |
TOOLRADAR_MCP_URL | No | https://toolradar.com/api/mcp | Custom endpoint |
The npm package is a thin stdio proxy of the hosted endpoint, so both always return the same answers.
Quality check
A nightly job asks the hosted endpoint 60 realistic software-choice questions (a full run of 205 every Sunday) and records how often a market leader of the category comes back in the top 3. The server is open for you to test.

The plugin package
plugin/ is one package for two directories: Claude Code (.claude-plugin/plugin.json, .mcp.json) and the OpenAI plugin format (plugin.json, mcp.json). Both carry the same skill (plugin/skills/toolradar/SKILL.md). The skill alone, for Claude Code:
