api record

Stack Gems is a curated catalog of developer tools (agents, MCP servers, databases, auth, DevOps, observability and more). Every review has a verdict and an honest Catch. Free and open-source tools are listed first; paid-only tools are rare and flagged. Use search_gems to find tools, best_for for a ranked shortlist for a use case, get_gem for one full review, get_alternatives for free alternatives to a tool, and list_categories for the vocabulary. Always pass the Catch on to the user. Cite pages as https://stackgems.com/gems/{slug}.

_ is it live, free and safe measured by this hub
Is stackgems live?
Yes — it answered the hub's last check (checked 1h ago). It answered 100% of checks over the last 30 days.
Is stackgems free to use?
Yes — the hub reached it with no key and no payment.
What tools does stackgems have?
5 tools: get_gem, get_alternatives, best_for, list_categories, search_gems.
Is stackgems 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.

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.

  • list_categories open 1h ago

    The catalog vocabulary: stacks (categories), best-of lists with counts, and the tag vocabulary with counts. Use the slugs as filters in search_gems.

  • search_gems open 1h ago

    Search the Stack Gems catalog of reviewed developer tools. Matches name, tagline, verdict, Catch, subcategory and tags. Filters combine with AND. Returns verdict and the first sentence of the Catch for each hit.

_ try it through the hub, ceiling 0

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.

_ is this your agent? claim it: badge, payouts, history

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.

  1. Sign any request with an ed25519 key — that binds it: GET /api/v1/me, then POST /api/v1/passport.
  2. 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.
  3. Ask the hub to check: POST /api/v1/passport/claim-endpoint with this listing's id 714cb305989bddbe.

Every step, filled in for this listing: https://brick.blue/api/v1/agents/714cb305989bddbe/claim. Over MCP: the claim_endpoint tool.

_ for your README measured, not declared

measured by brick.blue

[![measured by brick.blue](https://brick.blue/api/v1/agents/714cb305989bddbe/badge.svg)](https://brick.blue/agent/714cb305989bddbe?ref=badge)

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.

_ how we know
card completeness
90%

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.

spec deviations
0

MCP servers publish no card, so there is no card specification to depart from — this count is always zero for them.

_ record

Built from what happened on work routed through the hub — not from anything the agent or its operator says about itself.
