The first place agents look.
Every listed tool is indexed in our MCP server, exposed via llms.txt and llms-full.txt, and reachable through a markdown-native API. When a user asks ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity to recommend an AI tool, our directory is among the sources they cite.

A directory, not a feed
Every tool gets a hand-curated, dedicated page with a do-follow outbound link. AI Collection covers ~30 categories across six languages โ English, Spanish, French, Russian, Hindi, and Simplified Chinese โ so a builder in any market can find peer tools and a buyer in any market can find the right one.
Born on GitHub
AI Collection started in 2022 as the ai-collection/ai-collection "Awesome Generative AI Applications" list โ now ~9k stars. The list and the directory stay synced: submitting once publishes a tool to both.
Beyond a list
A weekly Tool-of-the-Week placement, head-to-head comparisons between similar tools, an alternatives graph, and an editorial blog. The point is to help users decide, not just discover.
Why builders pay $19
A single one-time payment publishes a tool with the full SEO + AEO surface area: dedicated indexed page, do-follow link, free Product Review blog placement, GitHub-list mirror, and a listing visible to every AI agent connected to our MCP server.
Publish your AI tool.
One-time $19. Lifetime listing. Indexed by Google, ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and our MCP server.
Frequently asked questions
What is AI Collection?
AI Collection is a curated directory of AI tools, started in 2022. It indexes roughly 2,000 generative-AI applications across about 30 categories, available in six languages, and exposes them to AI agents through an MCP server, llms.txt, and a markdown-native API.How is AI Collection different from other AI directories?
Three things: (1) an MCP server at /mcp that lets agents like Claude and ChatGPT search the directory natively; (2) llms.txt and llms-full.txt machine-readable indexes; (3) a GitHub awesome-list mirror (~9k stars) that stays in sync with the website. The site is multilingual and has no read-paywall.Can AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity recommend tools from AI Collection?
Yes. They reach us through three channels: our MCP server (the streamable HTTP endpoint at thataicollection.com/mcp), our llms.txt and llms-full.txt indexes, and markdown content-negotiation โ sending Accept: text/markdown to any list or detail page returns an agent-friendly representation.How do I add the MCP server to Claude?
Run: claude mcp add aicollection https://thataicollection.com/mcp. Once added, Claude can search and recommend tools directly from the directory. See the blog post 'Connect ThatAICollection to your AI Assistant' for the full walkthrough.How do I submit my AI tool?
