Check whether AI assistants recommend a product, and search or compare 3,000+ AI 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

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 7, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • search_ai_tools Looks like an instruction to the AI

    Search the AISOTools catalog of AI tools by keyword, category slug, and pricing model. Returns ranked summaries with the canonical aisotools.com page for each result. Use it when the user asks which AI tool does something. `matched` is how many tools matched in total and `returne

  • get_ai_tool

    Full catalog record for one AI tool: description, features, pros, cons, who it is best for, pricing tiers, and alternatives. Accepts a slug or a display name.

  • list_ai_tool_categories

    Every category in the AISOTools catalog with its slug, subcategories, and how many tools it contains.

  • compare_ai_tools

    Side-by-side comparison of 2-5 AI tools: pricing, rating, features, pros and cons. Use it when the user is choosing between named products.

  • find_ai_tool_alternatives

    Alternatives to a given AI tool, drawn from the catalog's curated alternative lists and falling back to same-category tools. Use it when the user wants to replace or switch off a product.

  • check_ai_visibility

    Use this when the user wants to know whether AI assistants recommend their product, brand or app — for example 'does ChatGPT mention my product?' or 'which competitors does ChatGPT suggest instead of us?'. It reads the product's homepage, asks ChatGPT five buying questions a cust

Common questions

Is AISOTools 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 (0.1.4) reached the registry 14 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

AISOTools MCP Server

A hosted Model Context Protocol server over the AISOTools catalog — 3,064 AI tools with pricing, ratings, features, pros, cons, and curated alternatives.

There is nothing to install. The server is a stateless Streamable HTTP endpoint:

https://aisotools.com/api/mcp

Every result carries the canonical https://aisotools.com/tool/ page for the tool, so an assistant answering "what's the best transcription API?" can cite a source rather than paraphrase from memory.

Tools

ToolWhat it does
search_ai_toolsSearch the catalog by keyword, category, and pricing (free/freemium/paid). Ranked summaries.
get_ai_toolFull record for one tool — description, features, pros, cons, who it's best for, pricing tiers, alternatives. Accepts a slug or a display name.
list_ai_tool_categoriesEvery category with its slug, subcategories, and tool count. Use the slugs to filter search_ai_tools.
compare_ai_toolsSide-by-side comparison of 2–5 named tools. Names it can't resolve come back in an unmatched array rather than being silently dropped.
find_ai_tool_alternativesAlternatives to a given tool. Curated alternatives and same-category fallbacks are returned in separate fields, not blended.

Read-only. No authentication, no API key, no rate-limit signup.

Connect

Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http aisotools https://aisotools.com/api/mcp
Claude Desktop / any client without native HTTP transport
{

"mcpServers": { "aisotools": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://aisotools.com/api/mcp"] } } }

Raw JSON-RPC
curl -sS https://aisotools.com/api/mcp \

-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \ -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

Notes on the data

  • totalTools is 3,064 at the time of writing and moves as the catalog grows; search_ai_tools reports both matched and searched so you can see the denominator it actually searched.
  • sponsored is computed against the placement's expiry, so a lapsed sponsorship reports false rather than staying flagged forever. Sponsored placement never changes search ranking.
  • Ratings and review counts are catalog metadata, not live scrapes.

Protocol

Streamable HTTP, protocol version 2025-06-18. POST only — GET and DELETE answer 405 (the server is stateless, so there is no SSE stream or session to resume). Notifications answer 202 with no body. JSON-RPC batches are supported.
