Search, rank and compare open-source AI projects with Archestack's open data
Call this server's tools from your browser. Nothing to install.
Requests go through mcptry because browsers can't call most MCP servers directly. Header values are sent to the server for that request only and are never stored or logged.

Open-source projects that replace a paid or closed product (e.g. Cursor, ChatGPT, Notion), highest score first. own_claim is true when the project says so in its own README.

Open-source projects that replace a paid or closed product (e.g. Cursor, ChatGPT, Notion), highest score first. own_claim is true when the project says so in its own README.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| product* | string | Product name, e.g. "Cursor" |
{
"type": "object",
"$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema",

}
}Check a GitHub repo before installing it, most useful for an MCP server, skill or plugin: whether Archestack lists it, its license in plain words, upkeep, the safety checks it passed (with the failed ones and their evidence) and up to 3 higher-ranked projects in its category. "Checks passed" means those checks passed, not that the code is safe. A repo Archestack does not list returns listed: false and a link to suggest it.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| repo* | string | GitHub link or owner/repo, e.g. "https://github.com/ruvnet/ruflo" |
{
"type": "object",
"$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema",
"required": [
"repo"
],
"properties": {

}
}Put 2 to 4 projects side by side: score and its parts, place, stars, license, last commit, Docker, arm64, GPU, RAM, external services, strengths and weaknesses.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| projects* | array |
{
"type": "object",
"$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema",
"required": [
"projects"
],
"properties": {
"projects": {
"type": "array",
"items": {
"type": "string",
"maxLength": 200,
"minLength": 1,
"description": "Project id like \"best-of-ai/qdrant\", a GitHub repo like \"qdrant/qdrant\", or a name like \"Qdrant\""
},
"maxItems": 4,
"minItems": 2
}
}
}The facts an agent needs before installing or deploying one project: Docker files, arm64 build, GPU need, minimum RAM, outside services it needs, web port, what its README says it needs, docs and demo links, and upkeep (latest release, releases in 12 months, security advisories, its package). null means Archestack does not know. Archestack does not track hosting cost or deploy templates.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| project* | string | Project id like "best-of-ai/qdrant", a GitHub repo like "qdrant/qdrant", or a name like "Qdrant" |
{
"type": "object",
"$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema",

"maxLength": 200,
"minLength": 1,
"description": "Project id like \"best-of-ai/qdrant\", a GitHub repo like \"qdrant/qdrant\", or a name like \"Qdrant\""
}
}
}Everything Archestack has on one project: score and the parts it is made of, place in its category, GitHub facts (stars, license, last commit and release, language, Docker, arm64, GPU, RAM, external services, port), project health, demo and docs links, and the review (summary, audience, strengths, weaknesses).
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| project* | string | Project id like "best-of-ai/qdrant", a GitHub repo like "qdrant/qdrant", or a name like "Qdrant" |
{
"type": "object",
"$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema",

"maxLength": 200,
"minLength": 1,
"description": "Project id like \"best-of-ai/qdrant\", a GitHub repo like \"qdrant/qdrant\", or a name like \"Qdrant\""
}
}
}Find open-source AI projects across both Archestack lists by words and filters. Words match names, repos, taglines, categories and the products a project replaces; results rank by how many words match, then exact names, then projects whose name or category holds the words, then by score. Put hard needs in the filters, not the words (no_gpu instead of "without a GPU").
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| list | string | Only this list: "best-of-ai" or "best-of-vibe-coding" |
| arm64 | boolean | true: only projects with an arm64 build (Apple Silicon, Raspberry Pi, Graviton) |
| limit | integer | |
| query | string | Words to look for, e.g. "vector database" or "chat ui ollama". Leave out to rank by score. |
| no_gpu | boolean | true: only projects that run without a GPU |
| license | string | License family. permissive: MIT, Apache-2.0, BSD and similar. copyleft: GPL, AGPL, LGPL, MPL. custom: anything else, including no license |
| category | string | Only this category: id or title, e.g. "vector-db" or "Vector databases" |
| has_demo |
The ranking of one category, best first, with score and tagline. An unknown category returns the list of categories.

| list | string | Only this list: "best-of-ai" or "best-of-vibe-coding" |
