## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-09-20.

- **Endpoint Security**: 57/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not yet verified: we couldn't confirm whether this endpoint requires it.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - HSTS not yet verified: we couldn't read the response headers to check for it.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 0/100
  - Transport check failed: declared streamable-http, but we couldn't connect to verify it.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 0/100
  - Schema not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's schema.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **Tool Coverage**: 0/100
  - Tool coverage not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's tools.
- **Tool Safety**: 0/100
  - Tool safety not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's tools.
- **Capabilities**: 0/100
  - Capabilities not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's capabilities.

**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.

## MCP tools (6)

### `search_tools` (~108 tokens)

Search AI tools

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.

Input parameters:

- `query` (string, required): Free-text search term, e.g. a tool name, use-case, or category.

Output parameters:

- `results` (array): Matching live listings, newest first, capped at 20.

### `get_tool` (~106 tokens)

Get AI tool detail

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.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required): The tool's listing slug.

Output parameters:

- `tool`: null when the slug does not resolve to a live listing on this site.

### `list_alternatives` (~107 tokens)

List alternatives to a tool

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.

Input parameters:

- `target` (string, required): Slug of the well-known target tool, e.g. 'chatgpt'.

Output parameters:

- `alternatives` (array)
- `target`: null when the target slug is not a known product.

### `submit_tool` (~399 tokens)

Submit a new AI tool

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.

Input parameters:

- `category` (string, required): Category slug, e.g. 'agents', 'writing', 'coding', 'design', 'marketing', 'productivity', 'video', 'analytics'.
- `description` (string, required): A description of the tool (40-1000 chars).
- `email` (string, required): 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, required): 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, required): 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.

Output parameters:

- `claimUrl` (string): Where the maker signs up to claim the DRAFT. Present only when ok is true.
- `error` (string)
- `ok` (boolean)

### `list_offers` (~90 tokens)

List paid add-ons (offers)

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).

Output parameters:

- `note` (string)
- `offers` (array)
- `purchasable` (boolean): False during free early access — nothing can be bought.
- `site` (string)

### `create_checkout` (~153 tokens)

Create a checkout link for a paid add-on

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.

Input parameters:

- `product` (string, required): Add-on key: premium_launch, review_one, review_monthly, network_all, network_three. See list_offers for names, effects, and prices.
- `slug` (string, required): The listing's slug (as in a toolUrl, e.g. '/tools/acme-writer' -> 'acme-writer').

Output parameters:

- `checkoutUrl` (string): A URL a HUMAN must open. Nothing is charged until a person completes it.
- `error` (string)
- `instruction` (string)
- `ok` (boolean)

## Common questions

### What is the Alternativas IA MCP server?

Alternativas IA is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.alternativasia/alternativasia. Alternativas a las herramientas de IA más conocidas, con ingresos verificados con Stripe. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://alternativasia.com/api/mcp/mcp).

### Is the Alternativas IA MCP server safe to use?

Alternativas IA scores 31 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the Alternativas IA MCP server expose?

Alternativas IA exposes 6 tools: search_tools, get_tool, list_alternatives, submit_tool, list_offers, create_checkout. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 963 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the Alternativas IA MCP server require authentication?

Its publisher declares no required credentials for Alternativas IA. We have not been able to confirm that against the live endpoint, and a server can require authorisation without declaring it here.

### Is the Alternativas IA MCP server still maintained?

Alternativas IA is still listed in the MCP registry, but we have not been able to reach this channel for several days and its score is decaying. We last reached this channel on 14 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
