One AI Guide is an independent directory and decision guide for AI tools. This read-only MCP server gives agents live access to a curated catalog of 300+ AI tools across writing, image, video, voice, code, design, productivity and hardware, plus multi-tool workflow stacks and in-depth guides. Seven read-only tools: search_tools - find AI tools by keyword, category or use case get_tool - full detail on a single tool, including strengths, weaknesses and best-for scenarios list_stacks / get_stack - browse and retrieve multi-tool workflow stacks list_guides / get_guide - access tutorials that combine tools into real workflows compare_tools, structured side-by-side comparison of 2–5 tools Comparison facts include evidence, source, confidence level and verification date. Unverifiable or conflicting claims return null; missing facts are explicitly marked unknown rather than guessed. Only editorially approved, published content is exposed, no admin, ownership, moderation or private fields. Supports six languages (EN, DE, FR, ES, NL, AR) with per-field fallback to English. All tools are read-only, non-destructive and idempotent. No authentication or API key required.

MCP readiness
Readiness is how fully this listing follows its protocol and how it behaved in our probes over 30 days. It is shown for reference and does not move it in search. Search order and leaderboards use the separate quality grade (here C+, 70.0/100), which weighs availability, conformance, p95 speed and descriptor. How the two differ
| Valid MCP handshake | 10/10 | initialize and tools/list both answered. |
| Live MCP endpoint | 25/25 | Endpoint answers the MCP initialize handshake (2066 ms). |
| Protocol revision | 8/10 | Speaks MCP 2025-11-25, 1 revision(s) behind 2026-07-28. |
| Signed descriptor | n/a | No MCP standard defines a signed server descriptor. |
| Uptime (30 days) | 15/15 | 30/30 probes succeeded over 30 days (100%). |
| Tool declaration | 10/10 | Lists 7 tool(s) with descriptions. |
| Verified identity | 5/10 | Publisher declared (repository, package or homepage); claim this listing to verify domain control. |
| Freshness + modern flags | 4/5 | seen in a source within 7 days. |
| Auth declaration | 2/5 | Declares credential scheme: smithery_api_key. |
