Which MCP Server Should You Choose?
Choose Tulimoa when:
You need dedicated capabilities in the Developer Tools domain.
You prefer remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport architecture.
Your security boundary fits: No auth required (Free / Open Source).
Find tools by free-text `query`, `category`, `pricing_model` (free / freemium / paid / lifetime), `mcp` (tool has its own MCP server), `eu_only`, `sort` (new / popular / viewed), `limit`. Returns approved, published listings.
get_listing
Full detail for one tool by its `slug`.
list_categories
The category ids and labels used by `search_listings`.
submit_listing
Create a new directory listing on behalf of the logged-in user (`name`, `url`, `short_description`, `country`, `category`, `mcp`, `pricing_model`, `logo_url`, optional `tags`). `logo_url` is required: a public https image URL (PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF or AVIF, at least 64 px), scaled to max 512 px and…
edit_listing
Update fields of a listing you own (by `slug`), including a new `logo_url`. A listing without a logo needs one with the next edit. Any edit sends it back to review (status `pending`) before it is public again.
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Tulimoa is categorized under Developer Tools and uses a remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport. In contrast, AON — Agent Offer Network belongs to Developer Tools using local stdio subprocess. Select Tulimoa when you need capabilities focused on developer tools and AON — Agent Offer Network when you require tools for developer tools.
Search offers by natural-language intent. Arguments are an [AgentOffer Query](https://github.com/agentoffernetwork/protocol) request object — the same shape as the REST API. Returns offers with pricing, a tracking link each, and an `engagement` block of pre-validated follow-up suggestions the agent…
aon_resolve_category
Turn free text ("hiking boots", "team chat software") into AON Taxonomy v1 category ids — the model never has to memorize or invent them.
aon_get_category_schema
Optional Hosted extension: return decision factors for an already resolved category id, to ask the right clarifying question before searching. Its standalone result does not add `decision_factors` to the Query request or response.
aon_submit_feedback
Record an explicit "dismissed" / "not interested" from the user on an offer — never inferred from silence. *Early scaffold: the call is acknowledged with success, but feedback is not persisted yet; the workflow behind it is rolling out.*
aon_manage_watch
Restore (`watch`) or cancel (`unwatch`) the default watch on an offer or category when the user explicitly asks. *Early scaffold: acknowledged with success, watch state not persisted yet.*
