Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check AgentScout every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 4

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

best
best_for_task
Suggest AgentScout tools for a task described in plain words (e.g. 'scrape websites with an agent'), ranked by relevance with listed GitHub stars as a tiebreak. Optional pricing, open-source and runs_locally filters; use runs_locally when data must stay on the user's machine or servers (e.g. 'no-code automation that runs locally').
categories
list_categories
List every AgentScout category with its tool count and page URL.
tool
get_tool
Get the full AgentScout listing for one tool by its slug (from search_tools results), including key features, platforms, GitHub repo and stars, and data_locality with the evidence phrase.
tools
search_tools
Search the AgentScout directory of AI agent tools and MCP servers by keyword, with optional category, pricing, open-source and data-locality (runs_locally) filters. Each result has data_locality (offline, self_hosted, cloud or unknown) with a plain note. Returns up to 25 matches with pricing as the maker states it and the AgentScout listing URL.

AgentScout — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can AgentScout do?
It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: best_for_task, get_tool, list_categories, search_tools. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is AgentScout working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 208 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect AgentScout?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does AgentScout need an API key?
No. AgentScout completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is AgentScout?
It answers our handshake in 208 ms on average, which is faster than 76% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
