MCP support
Provides a remote MCP server over Streamable HTTP with search, recommendation, comparison, and detail tools. It can be connected from supported MCP clients, and a plugin and configuration files are also provided for several agents and clients.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details
From the project READMEVibe Shipped agent plugin & MCP server
Vibe Shipped is a daily, sourced directory of real apps people shipped with AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, Bolt, Replit, v0, Windsurf and more), plus AI build tools with dated official pricing, coding-agent harnesses and frameworks, revenue rankings (The Vibe Shipped 50) and a what's-new feed. Every entry links to its public source.
This repo holds the plugin, extension and config files so you can use Vibe Shipped from your coding agent. It does not contain the site source.
MCP endpoint: https://vibeshipped.io/api/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no auth, v1.8.0, 17 tools)

Install
| Client | One line |
|---|---|
| Claude Code (plugin: MCP + skill) | claude plugin marketplace add sorindecu/vibeshipped-agent && claude plugin install vibeshipped@vibeshipped |
| Claude Code (MCP only) | claude mcp add --transport http vibeshipped https://vibeshipped.io/api/mcp |
| Cursor | Install in Cursor or add { "mcpServers": { "vibeshipped": { "url": "https://vibeshipped.io/api/mcp" } } } to .cursor/mcp.json |
| Codex CLI | codex mcp add vibeshipped --url https://vibeshipped.io/api/mcp |
| Gemini CLI | gemini extensions install https://github.com/sorindecu/vibeshipped-agent |
| goose | goose session --with-streamable-http-extension https://vibeshipped.io/api/mcp (persistent config: goose/goose-extension.yaml) |
| Hermes Agent | add the mcp_servers.vibeshipped block below to ~/.hermes/config.yaml |
| VS Code | code --add-mcp '{"name":"vibeshipped","type":"http","url":"https://vibeshipped.io/api/mcp"}' (workspace config: vscode/mcp.json) |
| Windsurf | add { "mcpServers": { "vibeshipped": { "serverUrl": "https://vibeshipped.io/api/mcp" } } } to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json |
| Cline | add { "mcpServers": { "vibeshipped": { "type": "streamableHttp", "url": "https://vibeshipped.io/api/mcp" } } } to cline_mcp_settings.json |
Inside Claude Code you can also run /plugin marketplace add sorindecu/vibeshipped-agent then /plugin install vibeshipped@vibeshipped.
Hermes Agent
Add this to ~/.hermes/config.yaml, then restart Hermes (tools show up as mcp_vibeshipped_<tool>):
mcp_servers:
vibeshipped:
url: "https://vibeshipped.io/api/mcp"
supports_parallel_tool_calls: true
tools:
exclude: [submit_app, subscribe_newsletter]
resources: false
prompts: false
Drop the exclude line if you want the two write tools. Install the skill too:
hermes skills install well-known:https://vibeshipped.io/.well-known/skills/vibeshipped
Results come back as JSON: the text block is an exact copy of structuredContent, with a one-line summary first, so Hermes keeps one copy instead of two.
Tools (9 listed)
Start with find_tool_for_task {"task":"query a Postgres database"}: top 3 verified, installable MCP servers, agents or skills in about 3 KB.
Read-only: find_tool_for_task, recommend_stack, compare_tools, get_tool, get_tool_trends, search_apps, whats_new, get_app. Write (only on the user's request): submit_app. Older tool names (list_tools, top_tools, get_vibe50, list_agent_tools, list_harnesses, get_harness, latest_apps, subscribe_newsletter, get_sponsorship_info) still work but are no longer listed.
A2A agent card: https://vibeshipped.io/.well-known/agent-card.json
Writes: submit_app (adds an app to a review queue) and subscribe_newsletter (only with the user's own email).

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
