Use VibeCodePicks with your AI

Last updated 2026-10-18 · Free · No sign-in · Optional daily feed · MCP v2.1.1

Connect our tool database to the assistant you already use. Ask “what should I use to build X?” and it answers from VibeCodePicks: which tools fit that goal according to recent community sentiment, who each is for (and not for), pricing, free tier and alternatives — with links to check for yourself. Rankings are never paid.

Setup

Claude (web, desktop & mobile)

Open Claude → Settings (Customize) → Connectors.
Click “Add custom connector”.
Name it VibeCodePicks and paste the URL below. No sign-in needed.
In a chat, enable VibeCodePicks from the tools menu and ask: “Which vibe coding tool should I use to build a SaaS without coding?”

Works on Claude Free (1 custom connector) and paid plans.

Claude Code

Run this in your terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http vibecodepicks https://vibecodepicks.com/api/mcp

Cursor

Settings → MCP → Add new MCP server, or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or .cursor/mcp.json in a project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vibecodepicks": {
      "url": "https://vibecodepicks.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot agent mode)

Add this to .vscode/mcp.json (or run “MCP: Add Server” → HTTP):

{
  "servers": {
    "vibecodepicks": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://vibecodepicks.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then refresh MCP servers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vibecodepicks": {
      "serverUrl": "https://vibecodepicks.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

ChatGPT

Requires Plus/Pro (or Business/Enterprise/Edu): Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced → turn on Developer mode.
Create a connector, paste the URL below, authentication: none.
Plus/Pro accounts get the read-only search & fetch tools; the free plan can’t add custom connectors yet.

Daily “what’s new” feed (optional)

Let your AI check once a day for new tools that fit any of your projects. Max 3 items a day, one line each, tagged with the project it fits, never repeated. Nothing new = {"new":0} (about 5 tokens). Your saved interests only affect this feed — search, fetch, recommend, compare and scenario answers never use them. If we ever add sponsored items, they appear only in this feed, labeled “sponsored”, at most 1 a day.

Ask your AI: “Call VibeCodePicks subscribe, then save_preferences with all my projects and their interests.” You get an anonymous key like k_ABCD… (no email, no account).
Keep the same key across chats so the feed doesn’t reset:
- ChatGPT: say “Remember my VibeCodePicks feed key is k_… — once a day, call whats_new with it.” (saved to Memory; or create a daily Scheduled Task with that prompt).
- Claude: put “VibeCodePicks feed key: k_… — at the start of a session, if 24h passed, call whats_new with this key” in your Project instructions (or CLAUDE.md for Claude Code).
- Cursor: add the same line to a rule file, e.g. .cursor/rules/vibecodepicks.mdc, or AGENTS.md.
- Most reliable: put the key in the connector URL — https://vibecodepicks.com/api/mcp?k=k_… — then your AI never has to remember it.
No AI? Open /api/feed?k=k_… (personal) or /api/feed (everything new, stateless, supports ?since=v1&interests=agent,video) from a script or cron.

We store only the random key, your project names + interest tags, ids of items already shown, and tools you mark picked/rejected. No chat content, no IP. Call forget_me to delete it all instantly. Privacy

No MCP support?

Point any AI or script at /llms-full.txt (plain text) or /api/tools.json (JSON). Grok, Perplexity and others can read these directly.
