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

tool
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 when the user wants to replace or switch off a product.
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. Use the slugs to filter search_ai_tools.
compare
compare_ai_tools
Side-by-side comparison of 2-5 AI tools: pricing, rating, features, pros and cons. Use when the user is choosing between named products.
tools
search_ai_tools
Search the AISOTools catalog of AI tools by keyword, category, and pricing model. Returns ranked summaries with the canonical aisotools.com page for each result. Use this first when the user asks which AI tool does something. `matched` is how many tools matched in total and `returned` is how many came back — when `truncated` is true there are more, so do not tell the user the catalog only contains what this page returned; raise `limit` (max 50) instead.

AISOTools — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can AISOTools do?
It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: compare_ai_tools, find_ai_tool_alternatives, get_ai_tool, list_ai_tool_categories, search_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 AISOTools working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 1 of 91 checks got a reply (1.1%), average response time 361 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists AISOTools 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 AISOTools?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does AISOTools need an API key?
No. AISOTools completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is AISOTools?
It answers our handshake in 361 ms on average, which is faster than 45% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is AISOTools open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence and 3 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
