Free2AITools
Provides access to academic papers from arXiv, enabling search, ranking, and comparison using FNI scores.
Integrates AI models, datasets, and tools from GitHub, allowing discovery and ranking via the Free2AITools registry.
Enables selection and comparison of AI models from Ollama, with hardware-aware recommendations and FNI scoring.
Provides access to models and tools from Replicate, with search, ranking, and comparison capabilities.
This server does not currently have a deployable release on Glama. Follow the repository's setup instructions to install and configure it for your MCP client, including any required credentials and local dependencies.
Free2AITools — The Open-Source AI Registry
Discover, rank, and compare AI models, datasets, papers, tools, and benchmarks. Updated daily, scored by the Free2AITools Nexus Index (FNI).
Website: free2aitools.com
What It Does
Cross-source catalog — Models, datasets, papers, tools, and benchmarks from HuggingFace, GitHub, ArXiv, Ollama, Replicate, Civitai, and more
FNI Ranking — 5-factor composite score (Semantic, Authority, Popularity, Recency, Quality) with full breakdown in every API response
Hardware-aware filtering — filter models by VRAM, license, and task-category metadata (heuristic filters, not verified compatibility)
Daily Updates — Automated pipeline refreshes all data daily

For Developers & AI Agents
Model Selection API
curl -s https://free2aitools.com/api/v1/select \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"task":"text-generation","constraints":{"max_vram_gb":8}}'Returns FNI-ranked catalog entries with params, VRAM estimates, license, and a factual FNI factor summary (fni_summary) — not a fit verdict; the caller decides.
Model Comparison API
# <ID_1>,<ID_2> are id values taken from /api/v1/search results — substitute your own.
curl "https://free2aitools.com/api/v1/compare?ids=<ID_1>,<ID_2>"Side-by-side comparison with FNI factor decomposition. Obtain ids from the Search API first; see the Developer Docs for a runnable search-first flow.
Search API
curl "https://free2aitools.com/api/v1/search?q=code+generation&limit=5"MCP Server
