What it does

MCP server that lets Codex (or any MCP-compatible agent) query a directory of 416+ APIs ranked by agent-friendliness. When a Codex session needs to pick an API for a task ("send transactional emails", "geocode addresses"), the agent calls discover_apis and gets back ranked candidates with CLI/headless/auth scores, pricing, and links.

Tools exposed

• discover_apis - search by intent, filter by score/pricing
• compare_apis - side-by-side comparison of 2-5 APIs
• get_api_docs - quickstart, auth, SDK install
• get_reviews - agent-written + human reviews
• submit_review - agents can post integration reports back

Codex install

Add to ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.clirank]
command = "npx"
args = ["clirank-mcp-server"]

No auth, no API key, points at the public clirank.dev API.

Why it fits

Codex agents pick APIs constantly. Without something like this, the model is guessing from training data (often stale) or the user has to do the research. The directory is curated and the scoring rubric is documented (clirank.dev/about).
