Data quality — please read
- The directory is reliable. Name, URL, department, pricing tier, description and tags are human-maintained and reviewed.
freeTieris NOT verified. It is regex-extracted from vendor pages and has known failure modes: some tools return a login wall instead of a pricing page, and the extractor can't always tell "free tier needs no card" from "paid plans need a card".- The server drops contradictory signals rather than guessing.
- The server's
instructionsrequire any assistant usingfreeTierto tell the user it is auto-detected and may be outdated. - Coverage is ~87% of tools reachable; of those, about half yielded a usable signal.
- A missing
freeTierfield means "no data", not "no free tier."
If you find wrong free-tier data, please open an issue — that's exactly the feedback needed to improve the extractor.
Self-host
The server is a single Cloudflare Worker with no dependencies.
npm install
node build-dataset.mjs # regenerate dataset.json (edit it, or point it at your own data)
npx wrangler deploy
Requires CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID and CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN in the environment — do not commit them.
node test.mjs https://ai-tools-mcp.toolboxes.top # 36 end-to-end assertions
To run locally:
npx wrangler dev --port 8791
node test.mjs http://127.0.0.1:8791
Notes on the deployment
workers.devhostnames are blocked by the GFW, so the canonical hostname isai-tools-mcp.toolboxes.top(a Cloudflare custom domain on the Worker).- The endpoint is served directly from a Worker; there is no origin server.
