Tools & capabilities
AllMCPs Server tools 11
search_mcp_serversSearch the AllMCPs directory for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers by keyword or category.get_mcp_install_configGet the exact claude_desktop_config.json setup snippet and documentation for a specific MCP server by ID.recommend_mcp_stackRecommend a curated multi-tool MCP server stack for a specific developer role or workflow (e.g. "fullstack", "data science", "devops").list_mcp_categoriesList all categories available in the AllMCPs directory along with server counts.get_boost_pricingGet pricing and features for boosting / featuring an MCP server on AllMCPs.com.boost_mcp_serverInitiate a sponsorship / boost order for an MCP server by ID, returning a Stripe checkout session URL and x402 invoice.get_boost_statusCheck current boost status, verified badge level, and sponsorship expiration for an MCP server by ID.submit_mcp_serverProgrammatically submit a new MCP server repository to AllMCPs.com for indexing and review. Supports the same optional enrichment fields as the human submission form — fill in whichever you can confidently determine from the repository (README, package.json, code) to produce a fully flushed-out listing. Omit anything you are not confident about rather than guessing; all enrichment fields are optional and unrecognized enum values are simply dropped, not rejected.verify_mcp_claimVerify ownership and claim an MCP server listing by checking GitHub README badge, website badge, or DNS TXT record. Works two ways: (1) fully unattended — pass `agentToken` from confirm_mcp_agent (or set an `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header if your client supports it), no human sign-in needed; or (2) if called with neither, requires the caller to already have an active AllMCPs browser session. Unattended agents should use register_mcp_agent + confirm_mcp_agent first.register_mcp_agentStart unattended-agent registration: emails a 6-digit confirmation code to the given address. Follow up with confirm_mcp_agent to exchange the code for a bearer token, which unlocks verify_mcp_claim (and future privileged tools) without ever needing a human to sign in via browser.confirm_mcp_agentExchange the 6-digit code emailed by register_mcp_agent for a durable bearer token (90-day TTL). Pass the returned token as `agentToken` on verify_mcp_claim, or set it as an `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header on subsequent MCP requests if your client supports that.
Charlotte tools 23
charlotte_navigateLoad a URL in the active page. Returns page representation after navigation. Default minimal detail includes landmarks, headings, and interactive element counts — use charlotte_find to locate specific elements, or pass detail: 'summary' to get the full element list.charlotte_backNavigate back in browser history. Returns page representation after navigation.charlotte_forwardNavigate forward in browser history. Returns page representation after navigation.charlotte_reloadReload the current page. Returns page representation after reload.charlotte_observeGet current page state without performing any action. Use detail levels to control verbosity: "minimal" for landmarks, headings, and interactive element counts by landmark (use charlotte_find to get specific elements with actionable IDs, or observe({ detail: "summary" }) to see all elements), "summary" (default) for content summaries and full element list, "full" for all text content. Use view: "tree" for a compact structural outline (cheapest orientation tool), or view: "tree-labeled" to include labels on interactive elements (still much cheaper than minimal JSON, and shows which button/link/input is which).charlotte_findSearch for elements matching criteria. Filters interactive elements by text, role, type, or spatial proximity. Use the selector parameter to find DOM elements by CSS selector — this reaches elements not in the accessibility tree (custom widgets, non-semantic divs). Selector results return Charlotte element IDs usable with click, hover, drag, etc.charlotte_screenshotCapture a visual screenshot. Fallback for when structured representation isn't sufficient (complex visualizations, canvas elements, images). Use save: true to persist as a file artifact that can be referenced later.charlotte_screenshotsList all saved screenshot artifacts. Returns metadata for each saved screenshot including ID, filename, page URL, and timestamp.charlotte_screenshot_getRetrieve a previously saved screenshot artifact by its ID. Returns the image data and metadata.charlotte_screenshot_deleteDelete a saved screenshot artifact by its ID. Removes the file from disk.charlotte_diffCompare current page state to a previous snapshot. Returns structural diff showing added, removed, moved, and changed elements.charlotte_clickClick an interactive element on the page. Returns full page representation after the click.- +11 more on the listing page
