Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Search a curated directory of 800+ AI agents, MCP servers, and agentic tools.

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.

  • Connection: Runs in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Search & AI memory

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

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_agents

    Search the curated Agent Switchboard directory of AI agents, MCP servers, and agentic tools. Filter by task, category slug, access methods, official (first-party listings from major vendors), verified, and/or auth type; sort by relevance, newest, most skills, or name. Verified: w

  • get_agent

    Full detail for one agent by slug: skills, auth, streaming/push support, tags, provider links, and useItNow: how to start using it (MCP client config, install command, API base URL, setup links). Verified: we checked it works — its URLs load and its declared access (API, MCP, CLI

  • list_categories

    All directory categories with live agent counts. Slugs are valid inputs for search_agents.

  • compare_agents

    Put 2 or 3 listings side by side, as the site's /compare page does. For each listing: the facts that set it apart from the others ("Only one with a CLI", "No auth required", "Most skills (12)"). Then one row per field, with each listing's value by slug: what it is, provider, offi

  • alternatives_to

    Listings that could stand in for one listing, strongest first, as on its /agents/ /alternatives page. Each alternative is in the listing's main category, offers at least one of its access methods, and overlaps on what it does (shared skills and tags, rarer ones counting for more)

  • connect_bundle

    One MCP client config to paste ({"mcpServers": …}, as Cursor and other MCP clients read it) for up to 10 listings, and how each one connects. A listing is in the config when its own docs give a hosted server address or a local command. An MCP server whose docs give neither comes

  • submit_listing

    Suggest a new listing for the Agent Switchboard directory. This opens a PUBLIC GitHub issue that the maintainer reviews by hand; it does not publish anything. Use it only when the user asks to submit or list a product, after you show them the name, URL, and description you will s

Common questions

Is Agentswitchboard safe?

It passed 3 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 (1.2.0) reached the registry 7 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: Context7, Codebase Memory, Exa

Agent Switchboard

The curated directory for the agentic web — AI agents, MCP servers, and agentic tools with real API, MCP, CLI, or browser-extension access. Live at [agentswitchboard.dev](https://agentswitchboard.dev).

A listing marked Verified is one we checked works: its URLs load and its declared access (API, MCP, CLI or extension) responds. Re-checked monthly; the label drops if it stops working.

🔌 This directory is itself an MCP server

Point any MCP client at it and query the catalog with native tools:

{

"mcpServers": { "agentswitchboard": { "url": "https://agentswitchboard.dev/api/mcp" } } }

Tools: search_agents · get_agent · list_categories · compare_agents · alternatives_to · connect_bundle (one MCP client config for up to 10 listings) · submit_listing (files a public GitHub issue for review; publishes nothing). Streamable HTTP, no auth. Stdio-only clients: npx -y mcp-remote https://agentswitchboard.dev/api/mcp

Setup for Grok, Grok Bot, the xAI API, Claude, and ChatGPT: agentswitchboard.dev/connect.

Prefer plain HTTP? There's a REST search too:

curl "https://agentswitchboard.dev/api/agents?q=video&access=mcp&limit=5"

curl "https://agentswitchboard.dev/api/agents/agentmail" curl "https://agentswitchboard.dev/api/categories" curl "https://agentswitchboard.dev/api/compare?a=deepgram&b=assemblyai" curl "https://agentswitchboard.dev/api/bundle?items=linear,sentry-mcp,playwright-mcp"

OpenAPI: /openapi.json. Connector skill: /skill.md.

Also machine-readable: /agents.json (full catalog, CORS-open), in-browser tools via WebMCP (document.modelContext), and an agent-optimized view on every page (the "For Agents" toggle).

Full API reference: [docs/API.md](docs/API.md) — REST search/detail/categories, compare, alternatives and the connect bundle, MCP, WebMCP, and the catalog dump.

🗂 Git-as-CMS

The entire catalog lives in this repo:

content/

agents/ .json one file per agent — the source of truth categories.json category definitions changelog.json public audit log (rendered at /changelog)

There is no database and no CMS. Editing content = editing files. Merging to main = publishing. Every entry is schema-validated in CI (scripts/validate-content.ts) — a bad entry cannot merge. A weekly job link-checks every listing's agent and provider URLs.
