Vibe Shipped agent plugin & MCP server

Vibe Shipped is a daily, sourced directory of real apps people shipped with AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, Bolt, Replit, v0, Windsurf and more), plus AI build tools with dated official pricing, coding-agent harnesses and frameworks, revenue rankings (The Vibe Shipped 50) and a what's-new feed. Every entry links to its public source.

This repo holds the plugin, extension and config files so you can use Vibe Shipped from your coding agent. It does not contain the site source.

MCP endpoint: https://vibeshipped.io/api/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no auth, v1.8.0, 17 tools) Docs: https://vibeshipped.io/agents

Install

Inside Claude Code you can also run /plugin marketplace add sorindecu/vibeshipped-agent then /plugin install vibeshipped@vibeshipped.

Related MCP server: trackrival-mcp

Hermes Agent

Add this to ~/.hermes/config.yaml, then restart Hermes (tools show up as mcp_vibeshipped_<tool>):

mcp_servers:
  vibeshipped:
    url: "https://vibeshipped.io/api/mcp"
    supports_parallel_tool_calls: true
    tools:
      exclude: [submit_app, subscribe_newsletter]
      resources: false
      prompts: false

Drop the exclude line if you want the two write tools. Install the skill too:

hermes skills install well-known:https://vibeshipped.io/.well-known/skills/vibeshipped

Results come back as JSON: the text block is an exact copy of structuredContent, with a one-line summary first, so Hermes keeps one copy instead of two.

Tools (9 listed)

Start with find_tool_for_task {"task":"query a Postgres database"}: top 3 verified, installable MCP servers, agents or skills in about 3 KB.

Read-only: find_tool_for_task, recommend_stack, compare_tools, get_tool, get_tool_trends, search_apps, whats_new, get_app. Write (only on the user's request): submit_app. Older tool names (list_tools, top_tools, get_vibe50, list_agent_tools, list_harnesses, get_harness, latest_apps, subscribe_newsletter, get_sponsorship_info) still work but are no longer listed.

A2A agent card: https://vibeshipped.io/.well-known/agent-card.json

Writes: submit_app (adds an app to a review queue) and subscribe_newsletter (only with the user's own email).
