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.

  • check_tool_status

    Use this when the user asks whether a specific AI tool is alive, dead, shut down, still maintained, safe to adopt, or trustworthy — or asks for its current health, viability, or verification status. Returns a verified verdict (healthy / monitor / at-risk / shut down / delisted) w

  • compare_tools

    Use this when the user asks how two specific AI tools compare, which of two tools to choose, or "X vs Y". Returns live verification status for BOTH tools side by side (alive/at-risk/shut-down verdict, the vendor-link probe date AND the separate catalog-rebuild date, pricing reali

  • find_alternatives

    Use this when the user asks what to use instead of a specific AI tool, for its alternatives or competitors, or for a replacement because the tool shut down, got acquired, raised prices, or is unreliable. Returns up to 3 verified-alive alternatives from the same category, each wit

  • market_sentiment

    Use this when the user asks what people actually think of a specific AI tool, whether users like it, its reputation, reviews, community feedback, common complaints, or praised strengths. Returns a synthesized sentiment report from real user discussions (Reddit, Hacker News, GitHu

  • deadpool_digest

    Use this when the user asks how many AI tools die, AI startup failure or shutdown rates, which AI categories decay fastest, how risky the AI tool market is, or for data behind "most AI tools fail" claims. Returns two clearly separated datasets: (1) LIVE catalog decay — 8,000+ ver

  • viability_score

    Use this when the user asks whether a specific AI tool is safe to adopt or build on, likely to still exist next year, well-maintained, gaining or losing momentum — or asks about its long-term viability or abandonment risk. Returns a viability BAND (safe bet / moderate / at risk)

  • pricing_reality

    Use this when the user asks what a specific AI tool costs, its pricing model, plans and tiers, whether it has a free tier, hidden costs, or whether the vendor even publishes prices. Returns the recorded pricing model, per-plan prices exactly as the vendor lists them, and — unique

  • whats_changed

    Use this when the user asks what has changed recently in AI tools — whether a specific tool has changed its pricing, links, domain or health, or what has moved across the market since a given date. Returns dated, field-level changes we actually observed: vendor pricing-page edits

  • recommend_tools

    Use this when the user describes what they need an AI tool to DO rather than naming one — "something to transcribe interviews", "an image generator with an API", "a writing tool for a small team". Returns a verified shortlist matched on the described need, filtered by constraints

  • best_for

    Use this when the user asks for the best AI tools for a task, niche or category — "best AI meeting notes tools", "top AI video editors", "what should I use for logo design". Returns our ranked list for the topic: the same ranking our "Best AI tools for X" pages use — topic match,

  • category_landscape

    Use this when the user asks what a whole category of AI tools looks like — how crowded it is, how healthy or risky it is overall, which tools in it are strongest, or which are in trouble. Examples: "how risky is the AI video generation market", "what does the code assistant categ

  • stack_overlap

    Use this when the user asks whether the AI tools they pay for duplicate each other — "are we paying twice", "does our stack overlap", "can we consolidate these". Give it the tools they actually pay for. Returns the pairs we classify the same way, with the shared categories and sh

  • check_mcp_server

    Use this when the user asks about a specific Model Context Protocol server — whether it is listed in the official MCP registry, what endpoint it publishes, how current its listing is, or whether that endpoint responds. Returns the registry record (name, version, publish and updat

Common questions

Is RightAIChoice — verified AI tool data 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 5 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: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, TF Rooms

RightAIChoice MCP Server — Verified AI Tool Data for Every AI Assistant

The ground-truth layer for AI tool recommendations. A free, no-auth Model Context Protocol server that lets Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, and any MCP-capable agent verify an AI tool *before* recommending it — live status, real pricing, user sentiment, and alternatives, with a last-verified date on every answer.

Endpoint: https://rightaichoice.com/api/mcp · Setup guide: rightaichoice.com/mcp · Remote server — nothing to install, no API key, read-only.


Why this exists

AI assistants recommend tools from training data that is months or years stale — and sometimes invent tools that never existed:

  • 24.4% of the 2,066 top Product Hunt launches (2023–2025) with a determinable outcome are already dead — our survival study, updated methodology public, dataset CC BY 4.0 with DOI.
  • 19.7% of packages recommended by code LLMs don't exist (the "slopsquatting" research — 205,000+ phantom names).
  • The RightAIChoice verification engine re-probes every vendor link of 8,000+ AI tools on a rolling weekly cycle — website, docs, changelog, repository — and keeps mortality statistics daily.

One tool call before a recommendation prevents your assistant from suggesting a dead product, quoting retired pricing, or hallucinating a tool into existence.

Connect in under a minute

Works with every MCP-capable client over streamable HTTP. Pick yours:

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http rightaichoice https://rightaichoice.com/api/mcp

Claude Desktop & claude.ai

Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste https://rightaichoice.com/api/mcp

ChatGPT

Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced → enable Developer mode → add https://rightaichoice.com/api/mcp

Gemini CLI

Add to ~/.gemini/settings.json:

{ "mcpServers": { "rightaichoice": { "httpUrl": "https://rightaichoice.com/api/mcp" } } }

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global):

{ "mcpServers": { "rightaichoice": { "url": "https://rightaichoice.com/api/mcp" } } }

Windsurf

Add the same block as Cursor to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.

VS Code (Copilot agent mode)

Add to .vscode/mcp.json:

{ "servers": { "rightaichoice": { "type": "http", "url": "https://rightaichoice.com/api/mcp" } } }

Agent frameworks (OpenAI Agents SDK, Vercel AI SDK, LangChain, custom)

Point your framework's MCP client at https://rightaichoice.com/api/mcp — streamable HTTP, stateless, no auth, CORS enabled. Tool schemas load via a standard tools/list.

What it looks like in practice

You: "Should I use Tome for my pitch deck?"

Your assistant *(after calling check_tool_status)*: "Careful — Tome's main website failed RightAIChoice's last weekly probe (verified Aug 15, 2026); it's flagged at risk. Verified-alive alternatives in the same category: …"

That answer carries a date, a method, and a source link. Without the server, the same assistant would recommend Tome from its training data.

The 13 tools

All read-only. Exact names and titles as served by tools/list:

NameTitle
check_tool_statusCheck if an AI tool is alive
compare_toolsCompare two AI tools head-to-head
find_alternativesFind verified-alive alternatives to an AI tool
market_sentimentReal-user market sentiment for an AI tool
deadpool_digestAI tool mortality statistics
viability_scoreHow likely an AI tool is to survive
pricing_realityWhat an AI tool really costs
whats_changedWhat changed in the AI tool market
recommend_toolsFind an AI tool for a job — that will still exist next year
best_forThe best AI tools for a topic, ranked
category_landscapeThe risk landscape of an AI tool category
stack_overlapWhere an AI tool stack overlaps with itself
check_mcp_serverWhat the official registry says about an MCP server

The honesty contract

What makes this data citable rather than confident-sounding:

  1. Every answer carries a last-verified date and the method behind it — never an undated claim.
  2. Unknown tools return "not in the catalog" with an explicit note that this is *not evidence the tool is dead* — no guessing, ever.
  3. Fuzzy name matches are disclosed ("closest match is X") so your assistant can reject a wrong match instead of answering about the wrong product.
  4. "The vendor publishes no prices" ≠ "we haven't recorded prices" — two different answers, never merged.
  5. Viability is a band with named drivers, never a leaderboard number.
  6. Live statistics and dated snapshots are never mixed in a single figure.

Data & methodology

All answers come from the RightAIChoice verification engine: weekly automated probes of every vendor-published link, a 5-signal viability model, community-sentiment synthesis from 10+ sources, and daily mortality statistics. Full methodology: rightaichoice.com/methodology. Machine-readable index: llms.txt. Mortality dataset: JSON/CSV, CC BY 4.0, permanently archived with DOI.

Limits, privacy, and what this server can never do

  • Rate limit: 30 requests/min per IP (generous for conversational use).
  • Read-only by construction — no tool can write, scrape, trigger paid work, or touch anything outside the verified catalog.
  • Request logging uses salted IP hashes only — see the privacy policy.
  • Answers are never for sale: no vendor can pay to change a verdict, a ranking, or an alternatives list.
