AI Tools MCP Server

What it is

The AI Tools MCP server gives your AI assistant direct, read-only access to the Automate & Tweak directory: search tools, read details with pricing, pros and cons and FAQs, browse categories, tags and pricing types, find the newest additions and compare two or three tools. It returns exactly what the public website shows, with links back to the tool pages, and it needs no account or API key.

MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to external tools and data sources.

Quick start

What happens behind the scenes

For the first prompt, your assistant calls the server like this:

1. search_tools

   {
       "query": "video",
       "pricing": "free",
       "limit": 5
   }

2. compare_tools

   {
       "slugs": [
           "ai-studios",
           "elai",
           "dreamina"
       ]
   }

The answer. The assistant combines both results into a short comparison: for each tool its pricing types, pros and cons and a link to its page on automateandtweak.com. It can then answer follow-up questions with get_tool.
