Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ailist": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "ailist-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add ailist -- npx -y ailist-mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ailist": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "ailist-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "ailist": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",

Common questions

Is Ailist MCP 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 on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.3) reached the registry 9 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

AiList MCP Server

"List my project on AiList" — one sentence to your AI agent and your project is discoverable by thousands of AI coding assistants.

AiList MCP connects Claude Code to a curated directory of Ai projects. Search MCP servers, CLI tools, libraries, and APIs — or submit your own project without leaving your terminal.

Quick Setup

Option 1: npx (no install needed)

Add to your .mcp.json:

"mcpServers": { "ailist": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "ailist-mcp"] } } }

Option 2: Claude Code CLI

claude mcp add ailist -- npx -y ailist-mcp

Option 3: With API key (for submitting projects)

"mcpServers": { "ailist": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "ailist-mcp"], "env": { "AILIST_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here" } } } }

Get your free API key at hifriendbot.com/ai-list/submit/

What Can Your Agent Do?

List your project — Tell your agent "list my project on AiList" and it reads your repo, fills in the details, and submits. Your project goes live in minutes after auto-review.

Discover tools — Your agent searches the directory to find the right MCP server, library, or CLI tool for the job. No more browsing — just ask.

See what's trending — Find out what Ai projects are gaining traction this week, sorted by star velocity.
