a2asearch-mcp
The A2ASearch MCP server provides unified search and discovery across a directory of 10,000+ AI tools, agents, and servers. It offers three core capabilities:
Search agents (
search_agents): Query the directory by keyword to find AI agents, MCP servers, CLI tools, agent skills, and A2A agents — with optional filtering by type and configurable result limits (1–20).Get agent details (
get_agent): Retrieve full information for a specific agent by its slug (e.g.playwright,ollama), including its README, capabilities, stars, forks, programming languages, and GitHub URL.List/browse agents (
list_agents): Browse agents by category with optional type filtering, sortable by popularity (stars) or recency (newest additions).
It requires no authentication or API keys, works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and other MCP clients, and is free to use.
Provides search capabilities for AI agents, MCP servers, CLI tools, and agent skills within Windsurf (Codeium's IDE), enabling developers to discover and integrate AI tools into their coding workflow.
Provides access to GitHub-hosted AI agents and tools, including star ratings, forks, and repository information, enabling users to discover and evaluate open-source AI projects.
Enables searching for MCP servers and AI tools that integrate with Notion, allowing users to find agents and tools that can work with Notion's API and functionality.
Enables discovery and installation of AI agents and MCP servers available through npm, providing access to thousands of tools in the JavaScript/Node.js ecosystem for AI workflows.
Provides detailed information about the Ollama agent including its capabilities, README, and technical specifications, enabling users to understand and potentially integrate with Ollama's local LLM management system.
