Awesome Tools MCP Server: Search Curated SaaS & AI Tools and Submit Your Product

Connect Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Codex, or any MCP client to Awesome Tools over Streamable HTTP. Search curated software and AI tools, browse categories and tags, submit your own product for a free dofollow backlink (DR 20+) or a Featured Launch, verify your backlink badge, and send feedback. No API key or sign-in is required.

claude mcp add --transport http awesome-tools https://awesome.tools/mcp

This repository contains the setup manifests and agent skill for the hosted Awesome Tools MCP server at https://awesome.tools/mcp.

Add it

The hosted server uses Streamable HTTP and requires no API key, no account, and no local installation.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http awesome-tools https://awesome.tools/mcp

Run /mcp inside Claude Code to verify the connection and inspect the available tools.

Cursor

Add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json or .cursor/mcp.json inside your project:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "awesome-tools": {
      "url": "https://awesome.tools/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop and claude.ai

Open Customize → Connectors → + Add → Add custom connector:

Name: Awesome Tools
URL: https://awesome.tools/mcp
Authentication: No sign in

VS Code

Add this to .vscode/mcp.json (VS Code uses servers, not mcpServers):

{
  "servers": {
    "awesome-tools": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://awesome.tools/mcp"
    }
  }
}

claude plugin marketplace add Illyism/awesome-tools-mcp
claude plugin install awesome-tools@awesome-tools-mcp

Or install the standalone agent skill in any compatible agent:

npx skills add Illyism/awesome-tools-mcp

Tools

Tool	What it does
`search_tools`	Search published SaaS and AI tools on Awesome Tools by `query`, `category`, `tag`, `isFeatured`, and `limit` (default 20, max 50).
`get_tool`	Get a tool by `slug`. Returns full public details for published tools, or submission status, DR eligibility, and next steps for unpublished submissions.
`list_categories`	List all directory categories with their `slug` and published tool count. Use these slugs when calling `submit_tool`.
`list_tags`	List all directory tags with their `slug` and published tool count.
`submit_tool`	Submit your own SaaS or AI tool (`free_backlink` for DR 20+ sites with a reciprocal badge, `featured_49` for $49 Featured Launch without a backlink, or `sponsor_149` for $149 Featured + Newsletter Sponsor). Paid plans always return a price preview first until `confirmPaymentSpend: true` is passed after requester approval, which returns a Stripe Checkout URL.
`verify_my_backlink`	Check that the Awesome Tools badge or link is live on your site (`slug` and optional `backlinkUrl`) for an unpublished free listing and schedule publication once verified.
`submit_feedback`	Send a `bug`, `missing_feature`, `question`, or `other` message to the Awesome Tools team (optionally referencing a tool `slug`).

How tool submission works

Discover categories: Call list_categories to pick 1 to 3 relevant category slugs.
Choose a plan:
- free_backlink: Free for custom domains with Domain Rating 20+ that place a visible Awesome Tools badge or link on their homepage (or a page linked from the homepage). Returns the HTML/SVG badge snippet and instructions.
- featured_49: $49 one-time Featured Launch. Skips the backlink requirement and includes a permanent listing, a dofollow link, and featured placement.
- sponsor_149: $149 one-time Featured + Newslet
