Available components
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. How we score →
Endpoint Security63
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 4 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Unverified
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability68
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1359 tokens (~226/item across 6 items; 6 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management3
- Stability observed for 1 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

create_checkout Create a checkout link for a paid add-on ~188
Mint a Stripe Checkout URL to buy one paid add-on for a live listing. A HUMAN must open the returned URL in a browser and complete payment — agents never enter card details. The checkout email and receipt belong to whoever pays; no listing-owner data is exposed. These add-ons only benefit the listing, so no session auth is required, but a purchase can NEVER bypass badge verification: only LIVE listings are eligible. Returns an error if the slug is unknown, the listing isn't LIVE, monetization isn't live 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. See list_offers for names, effects, and prices. |
| slug | string | yes | The listing's slug (as in a toolUrl, e.g. '/tools/skillselion' -> 'skillselion'). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_tool Get AI tool detail ~128
Fetch the full public detail for one AI tool by its listing slug (as returned by search_tools' toolUrl, e.g. '/tools/skillselion' -> slug 'skillselion'). 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 listing.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| site | string | – | Which network site's wording/locale to render the tool through. Defaults to the tool's origin site. |
| slug | string | yes | The tool's listing slug. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_alternatives List alternatives to a tool ~124
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 launchelion listing slug.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| site | string | – | Defaults to the aialtfinder alternatives site. |
| target | string | yes | Slug of the well-known target tool, e.g. 'chatgpt'. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_offers List paid add-ons (offers) ~118
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/backlinks and are always labeled 'Sponsored'. Call this to see what's purchasable before create_checkout. While the network is in free early access (early-bird), offers are not yet purchasable and this says so (purchasable=false).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| site | string | – | Which network site to price the offers for. Defaults to launchelion. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_tools Search AI tools ~177
Search the launchelion network 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. |
| site | string | – | Restrict to one launchelion-network site id (launchelion, aitoolsindex, aialtfinder, lanzamientosia, iaselecta, alternativasia, kitoolsheute, bestekitools, kialternativen). Omit to search across the… |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
submit_tool Submit a new AI tool ~402
Submit a new AI tool to the launchelion network 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. |
