Trueai does not always answer

Over the last week it answered 49.9% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

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.

categories
list_categories
List every category in the TrueAI catalog. Each entry has ``slug``, ``name``, optional ``icon``, ``sort_order``, ``parent_id`` and ``tool_count``. Use the returned slugs to filter ``list_ai_tools(category=...)``.
recommend
recommend_ai_tools
Find AI tools that match a natural-language user need. Parameters ---------- description : str The user's need in their own words. Be specific about the scenario, audience, platform, language and budget when known. Examples: '我是新手想学编程，要免费的 AI 工具'; 'I need an AI to generate a 10-page PPT from an outline'. top_k : int (1-10, default 5) Maximum number of candidates to return. Returns ------- JSON: {intents, candidates, external}. ``candidates`` is already ranked by relevance & score. ``external`` lists fallback nav sites only when no in-catalog candidate matches.
tool
get_ai_tool
Resolve and return the full structured record of one AI app. Parameters ---------- name_or_url : str The AI app's display name (e.g. 'Cursor', '通义千问'), its TrueAI slug, a numeric id, or its official URL (e.g. 'https://cursor.com'). include_reviews : bool (default false) If true, attach up to ``max_reviews`` real user reviews (sourced from watcha.cn). Useful for social proof / real-world usage tips. max_reviews : int (1-20, default 5) Cap on attached reviews. Resolution order: numeric id → exact slug → official_url substring → brand keyword from URL → fuzzy name/tagline match.
tools
list_ai_tools
Browse the catalog with structured filters and sorting. Parameters ---------- category : str | None Optional category slug to filter by, e.g. 'coding', 'image-gen', 'writing'. Use list_categories() to discover slugs. free_only : bool | None If true, only return tools with a free tier. form_factor : str | None Filter by product form: 'saas' | 'mobile' | 'cli' | 'windows_app' | 'web' | 'browser_extension' | 'api'. sort : str (default 'overall') Sort key: 'overall' | 'usability' | 'effect' | 'price' | 'speed' | 'reviews' | 'new'. page : int (>=1, default 1) page_size : int (1-100, default 20) Returns ``{items, total, page, page_size}``. Each item is a brief record; call ``get_ai_tool`` to drill in.

Trueai — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Trueai do?
It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_ai_tool, list_ai_tools, list_categories, recommend_ai_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 Trueai working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 182 checks got a reply (50.0%), average response time 1866 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Trueai?
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 Trueai need an API key?
No. Trueai 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.
Is Trueai open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at shiflowai.cloud, which runs on its operator's own terms.
