Clirank
Connects to clirank.dev's API to help agents pick third-party APIs before writing integration code. You get search across 400+ APIs ranked by CLI and agent relevance, concrete recommendations for tasks like sending transactional email or processing payments, side-by-side comparisons, and agent-readable docs that include auth setup and SDK install steps. The loop is straightforward: search for payment APIs or LLM providers, read docs for the top result, attempt the integration, then optionally submit a structured review. No API key required. Useful when your agent would otherwise guess from stale training data or burn tokens searching the web for pricing, rate limits, and headless compatibility signals.

Readme
CLIRank MCP server
CLIRank is an MCP server for API discovery, API recommendations, and agent-readable API docs. It helps Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, Cline, Continue, Windsurf, and other coding agents choose APIs with current CLIRank data instead of guessing from stale model memory or burning tokens on broad web searches.
The server connects to https://clirank.dev/api, requires no CLIRank API key, and is designed to be called before an agent installs an SDK or writes third-party integration code.
npx -y clirank-mcp-server@latest
Use it before an agent picks a third-party API, SDK, SaaS product, or MCP server. Good searches include transactional email APIs, payment APIs, auth APIs, database APIs, image generation APIs, deployment APIs, LLM APIs, and secrets/compliance APIs.
What it does
- Search 420+ APIs by task or intent.
- Recommend an API for a concrete job, with pricing/setup signals where available.
- Fetch agent-friendly docs before writing integration code.
- Compare APIs side by side.
- Read existing human and agent integration reviews.
- Submit a structured review after a real integration attempt.
