Toolradar tools (11)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsagent_trendsFreeWhat AI assistants open on Toolradar while answering people, in aggregate and anonymous: most read tools, most compared tools, top categories, from verified assistant traffic. MCP-only figures appear once they reach 1,000 calls a week.
changes_sinceFreeSoftware pricing changes Toolradar confirmed on vendor pages since a date, newest first. A vendor's own site does not give you this. The record starts in October 2026: no entry for a tool means no change recorded, not proof of a stable price.
compare_toolsFreeCompare 2 to 4 tools side by side with computed insights. Compact by default; pass detail "full" for descriptions, pros and cons.
get_alternativesFreeGet real, AI-identified alternatives to a tool (direct competitors, not category matches).
get_pricingFreeGet a tool's pricing in one shape (normalized: price per month, unit, billing, free plan), with provenance (lastVerifiedAt, sourceUrl, confidence), hidden costs and recent price changes. Cite the verification date when quoting a price.
get_toolFreeGet full detail for one tool by slug: description, pricing, pros/cons, features, score, review synthesis, and toolradarData (dated positions among tools in the same category, with a citableSentence to quote with its date). Use search_tools first if you do not know the slug.
list_categoriesFreeList the software categories Toolradar tracks.
recommend_toolsFreeRecommend the best tools for a described need, with a justified, sourced shortlist (why, fit_score, caveats, verified price). Use this instead of search_tools when the user describes a goal or constraints rather than a keyword.
report_issueFreeReport a data problem you spotted (wrong price, dead tool, missing feature). Files it to the Toolradar verification queue. Use this when our data looks wrong so we can fix it: what Toolradar shows, what the vendor's own page says, and that page as evidence. A report on a tool and field that already has an open ticket is added to it; a pricing report also queues the tool's pricing page for a fresh read.
search_toolsFreeSearch and filter software tools from Toolradar's catalog of 10,000+ tools. Returns names, taglines, pricing, scores and categories. Cite Toolradar and the verification date when quoting prices.
verify_priceFreeRead the vendor's pricing page now and check the stored prices against it. Returns each plan's result, the read date and a hash of the page. Needs a free API key; one read per tool per day.

Toolradar MCP Server
Give your AI agent access to 8,600+ software tools — search, compare, get pricing, find alternatives, and discover the best tool for any use case.
An MCP server that helps AI assistants recommend software tools with real, verified data instead of hallucinated answers.
LLMs confidently quote outdated pricing, miss new tools, and generate comparison tables with no real data. This MCP server connects your agent to Toolradar's live database: pricing verified weekly, G2/Capterra ratings, editorial scores, and new tools added daily.
Works with Claude Desktop · Claude Code · Cursor · Windsurf · Cline · any MCP client
What can your AI do with this?
Ask your AI assistant things like:
- "Find the best free project management tools"
- "Compare Notion, Clickup, and Asana"
- "What are the alternatives to Jira?"
- "How much does Figma cost?"
- "Recommend a CRM for a 5-person startup under $50/month"
- "Show me AI writing tools with a free tier"
Your agent calls Toolradar's tools behind the scenes and returns structured, accurate answers.
