Nothing serious here today

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

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.

categories
list_categories
List every Swarmnest directory category with its slug, name, short description, entry count and group (e.g. Agent Building, AI Models, Data & Search). Use the slugs as the category filter in search_directory. Optionally limit to one group.
directory
search_directory
Search the Swarmnest directory of AI agent tools: MCP servers, LLM APIs, agent frameworks, coding agents, browser automation, vector databases, web scraping, search, speech and text-to-speech APIs, data sources and more (thousands of hand-checked entries in 160+ categories). Keyword search over name, category and description with typo correction; all keywords must match. Filter by category slug (see list_categories), pricing, auth type or operating system. Returns name, description, category, pricing, auth, the vendor URL, docs URL and the canonical swarmnest.ai listing URL. Use it to find or compare tools for a job, e.g. "pdf parsing", "web search api", "postgres mcp server".
entry
get_entry
Get the full Swarmnest directory record for one tool by its slug (from search_directory results): name, description, category, vendor URL, docs URL, auth, pricing, operating systems, open-source flag, last link check and the canonical swarmnest.ai URL. Unknown slugs return close matches.
marketplace
list_marketplace_products
List the agent skill packs, workflows and bundles sold in the Swarmnest Marketplace (US only), with name, type, summary, price in USD, what each bundle includes, the product page URL and the checkout URL.
skill
get_skill
Get one Agent Skill by slug (from search_skills): summary, format, declared platforms, install steps per platform, scripts/network/credentials labels, license, author, source URL and canonical swarmnest.ai URL. Third-party: review the source before installing.
skills
search_skills
Search the Swarmnest catalog of Agent Skills: SKILL.md skills, plugin bundles, Cursor rules, AGENTS.md templates and prompt packs for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and other agents. Keyword search over title, summary and category; filter by skill category, format, platform or operating system. Each result says whether the skill includes scripts, uses the network or needs credentials, plus its license, author, source URL and canonical swarmnest.ai URL. All skills are third-party: review the source before installing.

Swarmnest — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Swarmnest do?
It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_entry, get_skill, list_categories, list_marketplace_products, search_directory, search_skills. 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 Swarmnest working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 206 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Swarmnest?
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 Swarmnest need an API key?
No. Swarmnest 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 Swarmnest?
It answers our handshake in 206 ms on average, which is faster than 77% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Swarmnest open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at swarmnest.ai, which runs on its operator's own terms.
