Available tools 6

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 it 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.
compare
compare_ai_tools
Side-by-side comparison of 2-5 AI tools: pricing, rating, features, pros and cons. Use it when the user is choosing between named products.
tools
search_ai_tools
Search the AISOTools catalog of AI tools by keyword, category slug, and pricing model. Returns ranked summaries with the canonical aisotools.com page for each result. Use it 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.
visibility
check_ai_visibility
Use this when the user wants to know whether AI assistants recommend their product, brand or app — for example 'does ChatGPT mention my product?' or 'which competitors does ChatGPT suggest instead of us?'. It reads the product's homepage, asks ChatGPT five buying questions a customer in that category would ask, and reports which questions named the product and which rival products were named instead, with a 0-100 score. Takes 10-30 seconds; a check of the same product from the last 24 hours is returned instead of re-running. Results come from one run of one assistant and can vary between runs. Do not use it for questions about AI tools in general, for private or login-only sites, or to rank websites in search engines.

AISOTools — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can AISOTools do?
It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_ai_visibility, 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 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 87 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 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 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 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
Is AISOTools open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, 3 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at aisotools.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
