What your agent gets

• check_tools: verify up to 5 tools you found anywhere (GitHub URL, npm/PyPI package, remote MCP URL): made by the product's maker? archived or deprecated? last code change, adoption, does the server answer right now, where your data goes. Verdict ok / caution / avoid, with better alternatives.
• search_tools: find tools by product or task (postgres, slack post message), filter to verified, live or free-to-try.
• get_tool: details, install or connect line, and a remote server's actual tool list.
• list_categories: browse the catalog by category.

Try asking your agent

• "Before I install it, check https://github.com/owner/some-mcp-server with KitScout."
• "I want to turn YouTube videos into blog posts on WordPress. Find a tool for each step and verify them with KitScout."
• "Is there an official Notion MCP server? Is it up right now?"
