  • appboard_alternatives_toFind products offered as alternatives to a tool the user ALREADY USES — "what can I use instead of Notion / Product Hunt / Zapier".No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The description's first verb is "find": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Find products offered as alternatives to a tool the user ALREADY USES — "what can I use instead of Notion / Product Hunt / Zapier". Pass the tool's target slug. This differs from appboard_find_alternatives, which starts from a product listed on AppBoard; use this one when the user names the tool they want to replace. Call appboard_list_alternative_targets when unsure which slug a tool has.
  • appboard_browse_taxonomyList the controlled vocabulary for a dimension — categories, use cases, platforms, audiences or pricing models.Reads text others writeNo findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "appboard_browse_taxonomy" says "browse": a word for reading.

    What it can reach

    • untrusted-inputThe name "appboard_browse_taxonomy" says "browse": it reads web pages, which anyone can write.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    List the controlled vocabulary for a dimension — categories, use cases, platforms, audiences or pricing models. Call this to discover the exact filter values appboard_find_products accepts, and to answer "what categories exist". Each term carries the appboardUrl of its browse page.
  • appboard_find_alternativesFind alternatives and competitors to a specific product.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "appboard_find_alternatives" says "find": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Find alternatives and competitors to a specific product. Use this for "what's a good alternative to X" or "what else is like X". Alternatives that are themselves on AppBoard include a slug you can pass to appboard_product_details and an appboardUrl. When the tool being replaced has an AppBoard collection, alternativesPage is the URL of that "alternatives to X" page — share it with the user.
  • appboard_find_productsSearch AppBoard for software products by need, category, use case, platform, audience or pricing model.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "appboard_find_products" says "find": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Search AppBoard for software products by need, category, use case, platform, audience or pricing model. Use this whenever the user asks what tool to use for a job ("a free email API", "note-taking apps for teams"). Results are ranked by real community engagement, not by advertising. Filter values are the names returned by appboard_browse_taxonomy — an unknown name is an error, so list the vocabulary first if you are unsure. Each product carries an appboardUrl, and each of its categories, use cases and platforms carries the appboardUrl of its browse page.
  • appboard_list_alternative_targetsList the tools AppBoard has alternatives for, most-covered first, with the slug to pass to appboard_alternatives_to.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "appboard_list_alternative_targets" says "list": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    List the tools AppBoard has alternatives for, most-covered first, with the slug to pass to appboard_alternatives_to. Use it to resolve a tool name to a slug, or to answer "what tools do you cover alternatives for".
  • appboard_product_detailsGet everything AppBoard knows about one product: what it does, its pricing model, platforms, use cases, target audiences, community metrics, any discount code, and its alternatives…No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The description's first verb is "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Get everything AppBoard knows about one product: what it does, its pricing model, platforms, use cases, target audiences, community metrics, any discount code, and its alternatives. Use after appboard_find_products when the user asks about a specific product. Taxonomy terms link to their browse pages; an alternative that has its own AppBoard collection carries alternativesPage — the URL to open for it.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.

Exfil surface

Which tools read private data, which read text someone else can write, and which can send data out. One of each is a path a prompt injection can use.

No private-data, untrusted-input, outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged private-data or outbound.

Reads private data0
Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories.
Reads text others write1
Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments.
Can send data out0
Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL.

Other servers in the same agent add their own tools to these paths. Audit your whole setup to see them together.

Pinned to version 1.0.0. Values in angle brackets are yours to fill in.

claude mcp add --transport http appboard https://api.appboard.pro/api/mcp

Run in a terminal.

Claude Code permissions

Allow the reads, ask before a change or a way out, deny the deletes. Paste into .claude/settings.json.

.claude/settings.json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__appboard__appboard_alternatives_to",
      "mcp__appboard__appboard_browse_taxonomy",
      "mcp__appboard__appboard_find_alternatives",
      "mcp__appboard__appboard_find_products",
      "mcp__appboard__appboard_list_alternative_targets",
      "mcp__appboard__appboard_product_details",
      "mcp__appboard__appboard_trending"
    ],
    "ask": [],
    "deny": []
  }
}

Tools that only read are allowed, tools that change things ask first, tools that delete or cancel are denied. A read that can send data out (it takes a URL, say) asks first too. It assumes the server is installed as appboard. Review it before you use it.
