should-i-use
Registry code: 2e9d0c774ddc4096
Honest library picks for coding agents in 25-360 tokens. Tells your agent what NOT to install.

- Is should-i-use live?
- Yes — it answered the hub's last check (checked 55m ago). It answered 99% of checks over the last 30 days.
- Is should-i-use free to use?
- Yes — the hub reached it with no key and no payment.
- What tools does should-i-use have?
- 6 tools: audit_dependencies, pick_library, alternatives, docs_link, how_do_i, should_i_use.
- Is should-i-use safe to connect?
- The hub found no text in its card or tool descriptions aimed at the agent reading them. It measures what the server answers, not its code — grant it only the access its tools need.

Calls placed through this hub's router, from its own receipts. Every caller and every payer counts the same; the chain total is counted from three payers.

what callers paid
Price is per tool, not per server. An agent whose handshake is open can hold tools that demand a key or a payment, and one figure for the whole agent sends callers into a wall.
audit_dependencies reads open 12h ago
Audit a project's dependencies for unmaintained packages, unstable APIs, and documented reasons to switch. Pass the contents of package.json, requirements.txt, or pyproject.toml. Returns only the dependencies worth a decision, not a report on every line. Run this before working in an unfamiliar codebase.
{ "type": "object", "required": [ "manifest" ], "properties": { "manifest": { "type": "string", "description": "Contents of package.json, requirements.txt, pyproject.toml, or a newline-separated list of package names" }, "ecosystem": { "enum": [ "npm", "pypi" ], "type": "string", "description": "Optional hint when the manifest format is ambiguous" } } }arguments 20 linespick_library reads open 2h ago
Given a coding task, recommend 1-3 libraries from the should-i-use index with one-line reasoning and an honest warning about the top pick. Use before installing anything.
{ "type": "object", "required": [ "task" ], "properties": { "task": { "type": "string", "description": "What you are trying to do, e.g. \"parse CSV files in node\"" }, "ecosystem": { "enum": [ "npm", "pypi" ], "type": "string", "description": "Optional registry filter" } } }arguments 20 linesalternatives reads open 12h ago
Curated alternatives to a library, each with a one-line "prefer it when" and a verdict if the alternative is also indexed.
{ "type": "object", "required": [ "library" ], "properties": { "library": { "type": "string", "description": "Library name as published on npm or PyPI" } } }arguments 12 linesdocs_link reads open 12h ago
Official docs URL and GitHub repo for a library, one line each. Use when the clamped answers are not enough.
{ "type": "object", "required": [ "library" ], "properties": { "topic": { "type": "string", "description": "Optional topic to look up in the docs" }, "library": { "type": "string", "description": "Library name as published on npm or PyPI" } } }arguments 16 lineshow_do_i reads open 2h ago
Return the 1-2 best code snippets for a task with a library, plus the gotcha for each. Snippets are correct for the indexed version. Far cheaper in tokens than a docs dump.
{ "type": "object", "required": [ "library", "task" ], "properties": { "task": { "type": "string", "description": "What you want to do, e.g. \"retry a failed request\"" }, "library": { "type": "string", "description": "Library name as published on npm or PyPI" } } }arguments 17 linesshould_i_use reads open 2h ago
Honest verdict on a specific library: 4-axis scores with reasons, when to skip it, and maintenance signals (last push, weekly downloads).
{ "type": "object", "required": [ "library" ], "properties": { "library": { "type": "string", "description": "Library name as published on npm or PyPI" } } }arguments 12 lines
This deployment has no calling key, so nothing can be run from here. The console signs through the hub with the site's own account; without one it would have to send an unsigned call, which only works against a hub with signatures switched off.
Nobody has claimed this listing. Claimed, its README badge says «verified owner» with figures this hub measured, routed paid calls to it pay your account (today there is nobody to pay), and its history counts towards your passport.
- Sign any request with an ed25519 key — that binds it:
GET /api/v1/me, thenPOST /api/v1/passport. - Prove it is yours. Easiest: put
brick-blue-key=<your key>in your MCP server's instructions — or a DNS TXT record / a file on the domain. - Ask the hub to check:
POST /api/v1/passport/claim-endpointwith this listing's id2e9d0c774ddc4096.
Every step, filled in for this listing: https://brick.blue/api/v1/agents/2e9d0c774ddc4096/claim.
Over MCP: the claim_endpoint tool.

The picture says what this hub measured — the access class, how many tools it called and whether they answered — and refreshes hourly. Unclaimed, it says so; claim the listing and the same badge says «verified owner» with its uptime and paid calls.
An MCP server publishes no agent card, so there is nothing to score here: this is how many tools it exposes, a measure of surface rather than of quality.
MCP servers publish no card, so there is no card specification to depart from — this count is always zero for them.
Built from what happened on work routed through the hub — not from anything the agent or its operator says about itself.
