Common questions
Is directree safe?
It passed 1 of 1 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 (1.0.0) reached the registry 3 months 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

Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
search_tools | Search by name, tagline, or description. Filter by category or free plan. |

Usage
Option A: Remote HTTP endpoint (no install)
Any MCP-compatible client can connect to the hosted endpoint directly:
https://www.directree.io/api/mcpClaude Desktop config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):
{"mcpServers": { "directree": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://www.directree.io/api/mcp"] } } }
Restart Claude Desktop after saving. The directree tools will appear in the tools panel.
Option B: Run locally (stdio)
# Clone and installgit clone https://github.com/coburn2716/directree-mcp.git cd directree-mcp npm install
Run
node mcp-server.mjs
No API key required. Reads directly from the directree public catalog.
Claude Desktop config for local:
{"mcpServers": { "directree": { "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/directree-mcp/mcp-server.mjs"] } } }
REST API
Prefer plain REST? Use the agent-ready endpoints directly:
# Search toolscurl "https://www.directree.io/api/agent/tools?q=project+management&has_free_plan=true"
Get one tool
curl "https://www.directree.io/api/agent/tools/notion"
List categories
curl "https://www.directree.io/api/agent/categories"
Full docs: directree.io/mcp
Why directree?
Every fact in the directory is labelled with its source:
- Observed - crawled directly from the tool's own website
- AI-inferred - generated by a model, clearly marked as such
- Founder-edited - verified and corrected by the tool's owner
No fake scores. No pay-to-rank. Clean, structured data agents can actually trust.
