About ToolShelf

ToolShelf is a hand-curated directory of AI integration tools. We started with MCP servers because the ecosystem is flooded with options and nobody is doing honest reviews.

What makes this different

Every server listed here was installed and tested by a human developer. Not scraped from GitHub. Not summarized from READMEs. Not generated by AI. We test in real clients, write honest pros and cons, and provide config you can actually paste and use.

Who curates this

ToolShelf is maintained by J-Dub, a developer who builds with MCP servers daily. The reviews come from actual experience — not research, not theory, not marketing.

How we make money

ToolShelf uses contextual ads and affiliate links to tools we genuinely recommend. Affiliate relationships never influence our verdicts. If a server earns a "Skip" rating, it stays "Skip" regardless of any partnership.
