# AI Alt Finder

AI Alt Finder finds live, working alternatives to well-known AI tools, grouped by the product being replaced. Every alternative listed is a real, currently-live tool in the same category.

## Query the catalog via MCP

MCP endpoint (Streamable HTTP transport): https://aialtfinder.com/api/mcp/mcp

Tools:
- search_tools(query, site?) — free-text search over live listings by name, tagline, or category name. Returns up to 20 matches.
- get_tool(slug, site?) — full detail for one live listing by its slug: description, launch date, revenue signals, for-sale status.
- list_alternatives(target, site?) — live, same-category alternatives to a well-known tool by its slug (e.g. target 'chatgpt').
- submit_tool(name, url, description, category, email) — submit a new tool on a maker's behalf.
- list_offers(site?) — list the optional paid add-ons (name, one-sentence effect, USD price) and whether they're purchasable yet.
- create_checkout(slug, product) — mint a Stripe Checkout URL for one add-on on a LIVE listing. A HUMAN must open it in a browser and complete payment; agents never enter card details. The receipt belongs to whoever pays.

## Submit a tool on a user's behalf

Call submit_tool with the maker's name, an https URL, a 40-1000 character description, a category slug (agents, writing, coding, design, marketing, productivity, video, or analytics), and the maker's email. It creates a DRAFT listing and returns a claimUrl. The maker must sign up at https://launchelion.com using that same email to claim it — claiming moves the listing to PENDING_BADGE. The maker then adds the AI Alt Finder badge (a small backlink snippet from their dashboard) to their homepage and clicks Verify; only after that link check passes does the listing go LIVE and start appearing in search_tools/get_tool results. Submissions are rate-limited to 5 per hour, network-wide.

## Pricing (optional paid add-ons)

Listing on AI Alt Finder is always free.
- Authority link — $19
- Discovery boost — $79
- Network sponsor (30 days) — $399
- Network reach — all live markets — $49
Paid add-ons are not purchasable yet — the network is in free early access; check /pricing for current status. (list_offers reports this too.)

## Honest-data policy

- Votes come from signed-in accounts only, one per account per listing per day — no anonymous, bought, or bot votes.
- Revenue shown as verified is confirmed through a read-only Stripe connection; anything else is self-reported and labeled as such.
- Paid placements (sponsor spot, discovery boost, authority link, network reach) always carry a visible "Sponsored" label — never blended into organic results or votes.
