Summary	Search the agentic web. 960+ sites scored 0-100 on agentic readiness. Includes verify_mcp tool.	Checks whether a project idea already exists before your agent scaffolds it. Searches GitHub, npm and Python repos, drops archived/inactive results, and returns at most 3 maintained alternatives with a concrete "extend this instead" suggestion for each. The calling agent does the relevance judgement itself, so no extra API key is needed. npx -y reuse-before-generate

search_agents

get_stats

Reuse Before Generate Tools (2)

check_before_building

Run this BEFORE scaffolding a new project or a substantial new module. Searches GitHub, npm, GitLab, Show HN, optional Tavily web search, Python repositories when relevant, and one ecosystem registry for Rust, Ruby, PHP, or JVM projects. Returns both reusable projects and products the proposal would compete with, plus complete retrieval evidence. The calling agent (you) remains responsible for semantic relevance judgment and must follow the returned scoring instructions. REQUIRES you to supply `keywords` yourself (see its field description) — do not guess this tool can extract good search terms on its own; generic terms like 'mcp'/'agent'/'server' will bury results in noise.
