About Live Directory

Live Directory is an automated, continuously verified directory of FREE-ACCESS MCP servers and APIs. We help developers discover and integrate tools quickly with confidence.

How It Works

Discovery

We automatically discover MCP servers and APIs from GitHub, awesome lists, and other sources.

Verification

Every entry is verified regularly (every 6 hours) to ensure it's still accessible and working.

Metadata

We extract and track provenance for all metadata, so you know where information comes from.

Free Access Classification

We use explicit, strict classification for free access to help you find truly accessible tools:

  • FREE_NO_AUTHNo authentication required at all
  • FREE_KEY_REQUIREDFree tier but requires API key registration
  • FREE_TRIALLimited time trial or temporary access
  • FREE_OSS_EDUFree for open source or educational use

Takedown Policy

We respect intellectual property and privacy. If you are the owner of an API or MCP server listed in our directory and would like it removed:

  • Contact us with proof of ownership
  • Specify which entry you want removed
  • We will process requests within 48 hours

We also respect robots.txt directives and do not bypass paywalls or login walls.

Privacy

We take privacy seriously:

  • We never store user API keys or secrets
  • We do not proxy user requests
  • Submitter emails are optional and only used for notifications
  • We only collect publicly available information

API Access

Our directory data is available via a public REST API:

GET /api/v1/entries         # List all entries
GET /api/v1/entries/:slug   # Get entry details
POST /api/v1/submissions    # Submit new entry

See /api/v1 for full API documentation.
