How do I install the ailist mcp server?

Use a recorded configuration for your client, replace example credential values and paths, and verify the documented runtime. Restart or reconnect the client, then inspect the available tools.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `AILIST_API_KEY`, `AILIST_API_URL` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.

What is the Ailist MCP Server?

MCP server for AiList — search and discover Ai projects from Claude Code

What the server does

AiList MCP connects Claude Code to a curated directory of Ai projects. Search MCP servers, CLI tools, libraries, and APIs — or submit your own project without leaving your terminal.

AiList is a curated directory of Ai projects. Every listing gets its own SEO-indexed page, and the REST API is 100% public — making your project discoverable by both humans and AI agents.
