Tool Discovery FAQs

Question 1

How do I use Tool Discovery once it's installed?

Accepted Answer

After adding Tool Discovery to your Cursor or other MCP-compatible AI tool's configuration, you can simply ask naturally in agent mode. For instance, 'Is there a tool for pomodoro/focus timers?' or 'I need a better way to manage git branches,' and the AI will automatically utilize Tool Discovery to provide relevant results.

Question 2

How does Tool Discovery ensure the quality of recommended tools?

Accepted Answer

It filters search results to include only tools with a minimum of 500 GitHub stars and those that have been recently updated (within the last 2 years). This approach prevents recommendations of abandoned, obscure, non-existent, or low-quality projects.

Question 3

Why should I use Tool Discovery instead of just asking my AI assistant for tools?

Accepted Answer

Tool Discovery provides significant advantages over general AI recommendations. It guarantees that tools are real, exist on GitHub, and are actively maintained and validated by community adoption (star count). This avoids 'hallucinated' or outdated suggestions often given by AI alone, providing actual URLs and quality signals.

Question 4

What kind of workflow problems can Tool Discovery help me solve?

Accepted Answer

Tool Discovery can help you find solutions for a wide range of workflow issues. Examples include finding tools for pomodoro/focus timers, CSS animation libraries, better Git branch management, API testing, or any other specific developer pain point within your AI development environment.

Question 5

What is Tool Discovery and how does it help developers?

Accepted Answer

Tool Discovery is an MCP server that performs real-time searches on GitHub to find validated, actively-maintained developer tools with 500+ stars. It helps developers in AI environments overcome workflow pain points by recommending quality, relevant solutions and providing actual GitHub URLs.
