search_mcp_serversSearch the AllMCPs directory for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers by keyword or category.get_mcp_install_configGet setup for one MCP server by ID: the config for every major client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Cline, Zed, Codex, Gemini CLI, JetBrains, Roo Code, Continue, LM Studio) plus its documentation. Pass `client` for just one.get_mcp_alternativesList alternative MCP servers to a given server ID — same category, ranked by fit and evidence that they work.compare_mcp_serversCompare 2 to 4 MCP servers side by side: transport, install command, evidence they work, tool count and source, health, GitHub stars, last commit and quality score.recommend_mcp_stackRecommend a small stack of complementary MCP servers for a role or workflow (e.g. "fullstack web app", "data science", "devops on AWS"), drawn from a live directory search.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.- +1 more on the listing page
