Structured data (JSON-LD)

Public pages emit schema.org markup for crawlers and rich-result parsers. No auth required to read it — view page source or fetch HTML.

WebSite and Organization JSON-LD on every public page (publisher, search action).
SoftwareApplication JSON-LD on the homepage and /pricing — listing plan offers in USD.
FAQPage JSON-LD on /faq (full site FAQ) and on each live /tools/[slug] page.
SoftwareApplication JSON-LD on each live tool page (name, category, official URL).
BreadcrumbList and ItemList/CollectionPage JSON-LD on browse hubs and category/tag pages.
Alternatives pages: WebPage + SoftwareApplication subject + ItemList of SoftwareApplication comparisons.

Discovery model

Each tool has exactly one primary category (navigation shelf at /category/[slug]).
Optional tags (0–5 per tool) are cross-cutting filters on the homepage directory.
Listings go live only after someone on our side reads the submission.
Featured picks are highlights we chose by hand; verified means the owner proved domain control, not paid placement.
Workflow stages (ai/dev/design/ship) are not used; discovery is category + tags only.

Submitting a tool

Founders submit at /submit in the browser. Only /api/v1/* is a supported integration API. Other/api/* routes power the website and are not public integration endpoints.

MCP

Model Context Protocol support is available at /mcp. See the MCP guide for connection details and available tools.
