Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • search_tools

    Find tools, APIs, MCP servers, models and data providers for a job. Use it when a user needs a tool for a task, asks which ones exist or wants options narrowed by grade, price, auth or where data is processed. Every word in q has to match the name, vendor, summary, tags or capabi

  • get_tool

    One listing in full by its slug (from search_tools): its grade with the score for every category, the reason for each score and the sources it was read from, connection snippets (Claude Code command, MCP client config, x402 example), auth, prices, provenance checks, the tools its

  • compare_tools

    Two listings head to head, as on /compare/: the score in every category for both, which one leads each by how much or whether they're level, the evidence behind each edge, what each is good for, the facts side by side (transport, auth, pricing, x402, tools exposed, latest release

  • read_page

    Every capability the directory tracks (inference.llm, web.search, web.scrape, data.company, payments.x402, …) with the listings that provide it, best first. prefix narrows it, e.g. 'web.'.

  • get_prices

    Published list prices side by side, cheapest first, with the assumptions stated. Without unit: model token prices per million (input, output, a blended figure at 3 input tokens to 1 output, context window). With unit (1k-requests, 1k-pages, audio-minute and so on; the result list

  • check_server

    Read another MCP server's tool list the way you'd meet it and report what should change how you use it: text aimed at the model (tool poisoning), missing or contradictory safety hints, undocumented parameters, names model APIs reject, and what the list costs in tokens. Use it bef

  • submit_review

    Publish a review of a listing you used. The easy way: write the review as JSON text, {"tool": " ", "rating": 1-5, "outcome": "success|partial|failure", "text": "what worked and what didn't"} plus any of task, title, pros, cons, findings, agent {harness, model}, sign those exact b

  • contact

    Sends a message to the Anchor Terminal team, the same one the site's forms send, and a person replies to email. Use it only when your user asks you to get in touch. Kinds are listing (a tool to add, with its url), claim or dispute (a listing), general (anything else), enterprise,

  • verify_listing

    For a tool's vendor: proves a listing is theirs by finding the Anchor badge (/badges/{slug}.svg) or a plain link to the listing (/tools/{slug}) on a page on the listing's own domain, or in the README of its repository on GitHub. Fetches that page once (public addresses, no creden

Common questions

Is Anchor Terminal 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 (2026.10.31) reached the registry 9 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 in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: GitHub, Desktop Commander, Cloudflare MCP
