Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Builds a file path from a variable lib/drops.ts:232
  const full = path.join(CONTENT_DIR, file);

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Available tools 7

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

agent
get_agent
Full detail for one agent by slug: skills, auth, streaming/push support, tags, provider links, and useItNow: how to start using it (MCP client config, install command, API base URL, setup links). Verified: we checked it works — its URLs load and its declared access (API, MCP, CLI or extension) responds. Re-checked monthly; the label drops if it stops working. Official: a first-party listing, published by the company behind the product under its own domain or GitHub org (e.g. Notion's own Notion MCP, not a community build), where that company is a major vendor (publicly traded, a frontier AI lab, or valued around $1B+). It records who publishes the product, not a paid placement, and is separate from Verified.
agents
search_agents
Search the curated Agent Switchboard directory of AI agents, MCP servers, and agentic tools. Filter by task, category slug, access methods, official (first-party listings from major vendors), verified, and/or auth type; sort by relevance, newest, most skills, or name. Verified: we checked it works — its URLs load and its declared access (API, MCP, CLI or extension) responds. Re-checked monthly; the label drops if it stops working. Official: a first-party listing, published by the company behind the product under its own domain or GitHub org (e.g. Notion's own Notion MCP, not a community build), where that company is a major vendor (publicly traded, a frontier AI lab, or valued around $1B+). It records who publishes the product, not a paid placement, and is separate from Verified.
alternatives
alternatives_to
Listings that could stand in for one listing, strongest first, as on its /agents/<slug>/alternatives page. Each alternative is in the listing's main category, offers at least one of its access methods, and overlaps on what it does (shared skills and tags, rarer ones counting for more). Each comes with why: the access methods both offer and what they have in common. Up to 8. Fewer, or none, rather than a weak match. Also returns a link comparing the listing with its top two alternatives.
categories
list_categories
All directory categories with live agent counts. Slugs are valid inputs for search_agents.
compare
compare_agents
Put 2 or 3 listings side by side, as the site's /compare page does. For each listing: the facts that set it apart from the others ("Only one with a CLI", "No auth required", "Most skills (12)"). Then one row per field, with each listing's value by slug: what it is, provider, official vendor, verified, access, auth, MCP server, CLI install, API base URL, skills, streaming, push, categories, tags, listed since. A row where every listing agrees has same: true. Facts from the listings' own data, never a verdict. A curated comparison of the same listings adds its intro line. Unknown or repeated slugs, and any past 3, are left out with a note.
connect
connect_bundle
One MCP client config to paste ({"mcpServers": …}, as Cursor and other MCP clients read it) for up to 10 listings, and how each one connects. A listing is in the config when its own docs give a hosted server address or a local command. An MCP server whose docs give neither comes with its setup guide, and setupPrompt asks a coding agent to set all of those up. A listing without an MCP server comes with its CLI install command, API address or docs. Also returns a claude mcp add command for each server in the config, for Claude Code, and the /stack link for the listings. Nothing is guessed: every address and command is copied from the vendor's docs, as on the listing's page.
submit
submit_listing
Suggest a new listing for the Agent Switchboard directory. This opens a PUBLIC GitHub issue that the maintainer reviews by hand; it does not publish anything. Use it only when the user asks to submit or list a product, after you show them the name, URL, and description you will send and they agree. Call search_agents first: if the product is already listed, tell the user instead. Limited to 5 submissions per hour per caller and one per URL per day. Not safe to retry blindly: each call that returns status "filed" opens a new issue.

Agentswitchboard — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Agentswitchboard do?
It exposes 7 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: alternatives_to, compare_agents, connect_bundle, get_agent, list_categories, search_agents and 1 more. 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 Agentswitchboard working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 92 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 90 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Agentswitchboard as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Agentswitchboard?
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 Agentswitchboard need an API key?
No. Agentswitchboard completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 7 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
Is Agentswitchboard open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 1 stars on GitHub and 75 open issues. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at agentswitchboard.dev, which runs on its operator's own terms.
