OUR ASSESSMENT

Strengths
  • 4,763 GitHub stars.
  • 21 commits on main in the last 30 days.
  • Apache-2.0 license, fully open source.
  • 600+ tools in one MCP.
  • OAuth and API-key flows handled per-app.
  • Stdio and streamable-http transports.
Weaknesses
  • Platform-managed tool surface; updates depend on ACI catalog velocity.
  • invoke_tool side effects span 600+ apps; agent prompt path needs strict review.
  • ACI account required; free tier limits apply.
Security Notes

ACI_API_KEY plus per-app OAuth tokens carry whatever permissions the connected apps grant. Use a dedicated ACI workspace for agent flows. invoke_tool can call any registered tool; restrict the agent prompt path or pre-filter the tool surface for production agents.

Best For

Teams that need many integrations without building per-app MCPs; agent developers running multi-tenant agents; open-source-first organisations choosing ACI over Pipedream/Zapier on license grounds.

SOURCES & VERIFICATION

We don't take any single directory's word for it. Before scoring, we cross-reference 4 public MCP sources, install the server ourselves against the clients we cover, and record when we last re-verified.

// How other directories see it

The same server, 4 different lenses. We reconcile these signals into our editorial score, which is why our number sometimes diverges from a directory-aggregate star count.
