Nothing serious here today

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

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

alternatives

find_alternatives

List what the NutsGrowth directory files as a replacement for a named product, e.g. "Notion" or "Google Drive", with the same filters as search_tools. Matching is on the product's name as the directory writes it; when nothing matches, the answer suggests names it does file alternatives for. Returns at most 10 listings and the total, in alphabetical order.

compare

compare_tools

Two to four listings side by side, with the same facts for each: price as checked and its terms, when it was last checked, country, open source, self-hostable, reviews, and the short positioning (value proposition and audience). Slugs come from search_tools or find_alternatives; exact names work too.

filters

list_filters

The categories, countries and tags in use in the NutsGrowth directory, each with how many listings it has, so search_tools and find_alternatives can be given values that exist. Open source and self-hostable are filters of their own (open_source, self_hostable), not tags.

submit

submit_tool

Send a startup or SaaS product to the NutsGrowth review queue, the way the form at /submit does. A person reads every suggestion and writes the listing by hand, so it takes days. If the website is already listed, the answer gives its page and how to claim it; if it is already in the queue, when it arrived. Fill in what you know from the product's own site; leave out what you do not. Ask the person before sending.

tool

get_tool

Everything public about one listing in the NutsGrowth directory: what it is, where the company is based, whether it is open source or self-hostable, its price as a person checked it with the terms, when it was last checked, its reviews' count and average, and its positioning. Positioning with written_by "vendor" is the company describing itself — a claim, not the directory's finding.

tools

search_tools

Find startups and SaaS tools in the NutsGrowth directory by words and filters. Words are matched against the name, tagline, category, country, price, the products a listing replaces, and its tags; every word must appear. Give at least one of query, category, country, tags, open_source, self_hostable or free_plan. Returns at most 10 listings and the total; each has its page on NutsGrowth, the product's own website, its price as a person checked it ("Not checked" when nobody has — do not supply one from elsewhere as the directory's), and when it was last checked.

NutsGrowth — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can NutsGrowth do?

It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: compare_tools, find_alternatives, get_tool, list_filters, search_tools, submit_tool. 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 NutsGrowth working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 88 of 88 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 290 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect NutsGrowth?

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 NutsGrowth need an API key?

No. NutsGrowth completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is NutsGrowth?

It answers our handshake in 290 ms on average, which is faster than 47% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
