# directree MCP Server
[](https://mcpvault.io/servers/directree-mcp)
Query **[directree](https://www.directree.io)** — the honest software directory — from any AI assistant that supports the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io).
Search 5,000+ software tools, get structured facts with clear provenance labels (observed / AI-inferred / founder-edited), and compare products side by side.
## Tools
| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `search_tools` | Search by name, tagline, or description. Filter by category or free plan. |
| `get_tool` | Get full structured facts for one tool by slug. |
| `compare_tools` | Compare 2-4 tools side by side. |
| `list_categories` | List all software categories with tool counts. |
## Usage
### Option A: Remote HTTP endpoint (no install)
Any MCP-compatible client can connect to the hosted endpoint directly:
```
https://www.directree.io/api/mcp
```
**Claude Desktop config** (`~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"directree": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://www.directree.io/api/mcp"]
}
}
}
```
Restart Claude Desktop after saving. The directree tools will appear in the tools panel.
### Option B: Run locally (stdio)
```bash
# Clone and install
git clone https://github.com/coburn2716/directree-mcp.git
cd directree-mcp
npm install
# Run
node mcp-server.mjs
```
No API key required. Reads directly from the directree public catalog.
**Claude Desktop config for local:**
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"directree": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/directree-mcp/mcp-server.mjs"]
}
}
}
```
## REST API
Prefer plain REST? Use the agent-ready endpoints directly:
```bash
# Search tools
curl "https://www.directree.io/api/agent/tools?q=project+management&has_free_plan=true"
# Get one tool
curl "https://www.directree.io/api/agent/tools/notion"
# List categories
curl "https://www.directree.io/api/agent/categories"
```

## Why directree?
Every fact in the directory is labelled with its source:
- **Observed** - crawled directly from the tool's own website
- **AI-inferred** - generated by a model, clearly marked as such
- **Founder-edited** - verified and corrected by the tool's owner
No fake scores. No pay-to-rank. Clean, structured data agents can actually trust.
