Endpoint Security57
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation not yet verified: we couldn't confirm whether this endpoint requires it. View diagnostics → Unverified
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- HSTS not yet verified: we couldn't read the response headers to check for it. View diagnostics → Unverified
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability0
- Transport check failed: declared streamable-http, but we couldn't connect to verify it. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Schema Quality & AI Usability0
- Schema not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's schema.Unverified
Stability & Change Management0
- Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).Unverified
Tool Coverage0

Unverified: 5 categories
Categories scored 0 because we could not verify them: authentication we do not have, an unreachable endpoint, or not enough scan history. We only credit what we can confirm.
How do I install the Alternativas IA MCP server?
Alternativas IA is a hosted endpoint at https://alternativasia.com/api/mcp/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
create_checkout Create a checkout link for a paid add-on ~153
Create a Stripe checkout URL for one paid add-on on one listing, and return it for a HUMAN to open. Never present this as a completed purchase: nothing is charged until a person completes checkout in a browser. Returns an error when the listing doesn't exist, the add-on isn't purchasable yet (free early access), or payments aren't configured in this environment.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| product | string | yes | Add-on key: premium_launch, review_one, review_monthly, network_all, network_three. See list_offers for names, effects, and prices. |
| slug | string | yes | The listing's slug (as in a toolUrl, e.g. '/tools/acme-writer' -> 'acme-writer'). |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| checkoutUrl | string | – | A URL a HUMAN must open. Nothing is charged until a person completes it. |
| error | string | – | – |
| instruction | string | – | – |
| ok | boolean | yes | – |
No examples provided.
get_tool Get AI tool detail ~106
Fetch the full public detail for one AI tool by its listing slug (as returned by search_tools' toolUrl, e.g. '/tools/acme-writer' -> slug 'acme-writer'). Call this after search_tools to get a tool's full description, launch date, revenue signals (verified or self-reported), and for-sale status. Returns null if the slug doesn't resolve to a live Alternativas IA listing.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| slug | string | yes | The tool's listing slug. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| tool | – | yes | null when the slug does not resolve to a live listing on this site. |
No examples provided.
list_alternatives List alternatives to a tool ~107
List live, same-category alternatives to a well-known AI tool (e.g. 'chatgpt', 'notion-ai', 'figma'). Call this when a user asks 'what are the alternatives to X' or wants competitors/substitutes for a named product. `target` is the well-known tool's slug, not a listing slug from this catalog.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| target | string | yes | Slug of the well-known target tool, e.g. 'chatgpt'. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| alternatives | array | yes | – |
| target | – | yes | null when the target slug is not a known product. |
No examples provided.
list_offers List paid add-ons (offers) ~90
List the optional paid add-ons a maker can buy to promote their listing (name, one-sentence effect, price in USD). Listing is always free; these only ADD reach and are always labeled 'Sponsored'. Call this to see what's purchasable before create_checkout. During free early access (early-bird), offers are not yet purchasable and this says so (purchasable=false).
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| note | string | yes | – |
| offers | array | yes | – |
| purchasable | boolean | yes | False during free early access — nothing can be bought. |
| site | string | yes | – |
No examples provided.
search_tools Search AI tools ~108
Search the Alternativas IA catalog of live, published AI tools by a free-text query. Matches on tool name, tagline, or category name (case-insensitive substring). Call this first when a user asks to find, discover, or compare AI tools by keyword, use-case, or category (e.g. 'agents', 'writing assistants'). Returns up to 20 results.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | string | yes | Free-text search term, e.g. a tool name, use-case, or category. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| results | array | yes | Matching live listings, newest first, capped at 20. |
No examples provided.
submit_tool Submit a new AI tool ~399
Submit a new AI tool to Alternativas IA on behalf of its maker. Creates a draft listing (not yet public) and returns a claimUrl the maker must visit to sign up and claim/publish it. Call this only when a user explicitly wants to list their own tool — never to submit a tool on someone else's behalf without their email. Rate-limited globally to 5 submissions per hour. Supply tagline, problemSolved, logoUrl and imageUrls whenever you can: they are what make the published listing look like a real product page rather than a stub.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| category | string | yes | Category slug, e.g. 'agents', 'writing', 'coding', 'design', 'marketing', 'productivity', 'video', 'analytics'. |
| description | string | yes | A description of the tool (40-1000 chars). |
| string | yes | The maker's email — used to claim the listing on signup. | |
| imageUrls | array | – | Up to 5 https screenshot URLs, best first. Copied to our own storage. Without any, the listing shows a generated placeholder card instead of a real screenshot. |
| logoUrl | string | – | https URL of the tool's logo. We copy it to our own storage — we never hotlink the maker's host. |
| name | string | yes | The tool's name. |
| problemSolved | string | – | What problem the tool solves, in the maker's words (max 160 chars). Rendered as its own block on the listing page. |
| tagline | string | – | One line shown on every card (max 60 chars). Supply it — without one we fall back to a truncated description. |
| url | string | yes | The tool's https homepage URL. |
| xHandle | string | – | X/Twitter handle, without the @. |
| xHandleIsFounder | boolean | – | True when the handle is the founder's personal account rather than the product's. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| claimUrl | string | – | Where the maker signs up to claim the DRAFT. Present only when ok is true. |
| error | string | – | – |
| ok | boolean | yes | – |
No examples provided.
