What Can Your Agent Do?

List your project — Tell your agent "list my project on AiList" and it reads your repo, fills in the details, and submits. Your project goes live in minutes after auto-review.

Discover tools — Your agent searches the directory to find the right MCP server, library, or CLI tool for the job. No more browsing — just ask.
