# Install our MCP server

Before your agent picks a tool, it can ask how far an agent got there. 9 read-only tools, no account or key.

## Pick your client

### Claude Code

Run it in your terminal:

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

Then `claude mcp list` shows it connected.

### Cursor

Add it to `~/.cursor/mcp.json`, or `.cursor/mcp.json` in a project:

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

Then Cursor Settings → MCP lists its tools.

## The 9 tools

- `choose_provider_for_task` “Which invoicing tool lets my agent send an invoice on its own?” The products ranked for that task by how far our agent got, with each one's level, how it did the work (API, MCP, CLI or browser) and the date of the drive.
- `search_tools` “Which CRM can my agent sign up for without a person?” A shortlist with each product's level, where an agent stopped and the ways it takes payment from an agent.
- `get_provider` “Can my agent get an API key for this Postgres host on its own?” One product's result: every step from the docs to deleting the account, what an agent can and can't do, and the ways to pay.
- `get_agent_surfaces` “What can my agent use at this product?” Its API, MCP server, CLI, SDK, docs and agent payments, each tested or only documented, with the product's own link for it.
- `compare_providers` “Xero or QuickBooks for sending invoices from my agent?” Two or three products side by side for one task: each one's level, how far our agent got at each step and how to connect.
- `list_categories` “Where do agents get furthest?” Every category with its number of products and its best level.
- `list_changes` “What changed this week?” Each product whose level moved lately, with the date and why.
- `get_category` “What are the best email APIs?” One category's leaders by level, with how many products we drove in it.
- `list_best_providers` “Which CRM works best for an agent?” One category's driven products ranked by level, with where our agent stopped at each.
