Add the tools you already run. The checker sorts them into agent-ready (the directory recorded MCP support from public docs), developer-wired (a public API, but someone has to build the connection), and no connection (manual only).
MCP is Model Context Protocol: an open way for an AI assistant to use a product with your login. This is a read of the Work Insiders directory flags, not a live vendor probe. The value is mostly in the NOs — those are the dead ends, with up to three MCP-ready swaps in the same category.
MCP readiness checker
MCP is Model Context Protocol — an open way for an AI assistant to use a product with your login. Add the tools you already run. The checker splits them into agent-ready, developer-wired, and no connection. The NOs are the point.
Agent-ready share
0 of 0 tools in your stack are agent-ready
Agent-ready
An AI assistant can use these directly. The directory recorded MCP support from public docs.
Developer-wired
Connectable, but someone has to build it. Public API, no MCP on the listing.
No connection
Manual only. Swap suggestions are MCP-ready listings in the same category.
Flags are from each Work Insiders listing, not a live vendor probe. Browse every MCP listing in the directory → Building a $0 stack instead? $0 stack builder → Estimating cost? Stack cost estimator →
How the check is built
- Every published listing in the directory, recruiting and HR. AI-agent listings stay out.
- MCP and API flags are the ones on each tool page, taken from public vendor docs at last check.
- Agent-ready means the MCP flag is on. Developer-wired means the API flag is on and MCP is off. No connection means both are off.
- Dead-end rows suggest up to three MCP-ready listings that share the tool’s first category, A to Z, skipping tools you already picked.
What it does not include
A 0–100 score or a letter grade. Third-party MCP wrappers, Zapier, or Make recipes. Whether your tenant actually has MCP enabled. Whether a vendor’s MCP is official, supported, or production-ready. For a $0 stack, use the $0 stack builder. For starting prices, use the stack cost estimator. To browse every MCP listing, use the MCP-filtered directory.
Frequently asked questions
What is MCP?
MCP is Model Context Protocol. It is an open way for an AI assistant to talk to a product with your login. The directory records MCP support from public docs. That is not a claim the server is official, supported, or production-ready.
Is an API good enough?
An API is for a developer. An MCP is for an AI assistant. If the tool is developer-wired, someone still has to build the connection. That can be enough if you have engineering time. It is not the same as agent-ready.
Why does my tool say no when the vendor announced MCP?
The flag comes from public docs at last check. If a vendor has shipped an MCP since we last looked, tell us and we will re-check.
How do I share this?
Use Copy summary for a plain-text list, or Copy link to put the stack in the page URL as #tools=slug,slug. Anyone with the link sees the same tools. Nothing is stored on our servers. The link is hash-only so caches cannot mangle it.
