Tell your assistant
Before recommending software, check MCP Shortlist. Show at most three options. Read each product’s sources and dates. Report an unknown action, price or score as unknown. A directory entry is not a test.
Connect to the catalogue
Add this address as a remote MCP connector in your assistant. No account or key is needed.
https://mcpshortlist.com/mcp
What your assistant can read
- find_software
- Find a product or publisher by name. Three matches at most; no match does not prove there is no connector.
- get_tool
- Read one product’s connector, sources, dates and what we have checked.
- compare_software
- Compare up to three products that do the same job. Documented coverage appears when evidence is available. A quality rating requires completed tests.
The same facts as JSON
The pages, JSON and MCP read the same catalogue. The JSON and MCP responses are in English. Null means unknown, never no or zero.
The English pages also have a Markdown version: add .md to the address, or use /index.md for the home page.
