24 alternatives to AgentWeb

I built AgentWeb - a free, structured business directory API designed specifically for AI agents. The problem: AI agents that need real-world business data (phone numbers, emails, hours, addresses) have to either scrape Google (which blocks them) or parse random websites (unreliable). There's no clean data layer for agents to query. What AgentWeb does: 11M+ businesses across 195 countries Full-text + geo search (PostGIS-powered, <50ms) Clean JSON with trust scores and confidence ratings MCP server for Claude Desktop (npx agentweb-mcp) Works with OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain function calling…

    Agent 37▲401

    Hey HN, I noticed there are 1,000+ MCP skills on GitHub with zero way for creators to charge for them. So I built Agent37. Selling Claude skills today means asking customers to download your skill, set up Claude Code on their laptops, configure MCP servers, and pray it works. No trial, no updates, often you're just handing over the source. Agent37 lets creators upload a skill, share a link, and anyone can try it instantly (no Claude account needed). Built-in Stripe, creators keep 80%. Looking for feedback on the approach. Would you use something like this?

    While building mendable - we found that feeding LLMs well-structured markdown improved accuracy. We also found it surprisingly hard. We found some great tools online, but none reliably handled the entire process. We wanted an API that took a URL, crawled the pages in the URL, and gave us an easy-to-use, up-to-date markdown we could feed into our index. So, we released an open-source repo and an API that crawls and turns entire websites into a markdown with just a few lines of code The API handles: - Crawling without consistent sitemaps - Infra to handle running many crawling jobs - Proxying,…

    Web Speed▲118

    Hey everyone, I've been working on a tool called Web Speed. It takes web pages full of HTML and parses them into an easily readable sitemap for an AI agent. By ensuring the AI doesn't have to analyze the full HTML from the page or screenshots of the page, it makes the agent a lot cheaper and faster. It's MCP-native, so any AI that supports MCP can run it and take control of your browser for you. There are both “normal” and post-auth versions live on GitHub. What I think is the coolest thing about the project is the global cache of sitemaps. When a user visits a site, it takes the sitemap and…

    Creator here. I built Agent Arena to answer a question that kept bugging me: when AI agents browse the web autonomously, how easily can they be manipulated by hidden instructions? How it works: 1. Send your AI agent to ref.jock.pl&#x2F;modern-web (looks like a harmless web dev cheat sheet) 2. Ask it to summarize the page 3. Paste its response into the scorecard at wiz.jock.pl&#x2F;experiments&#x2F;agent-arena&#x2F; The page is loaded with 10 hidden prompt injection attacks -- HTML comments, white-on-white text, zero-width Unicode, data attributes, etc. Most agents fall for at least a few.…

    Hey HN, We’ve been building browser agents for a while. In production, we kept converging on the same pattern: deterministic scripts for the happy path, agents only for edge cases. So we built Demonstrate Mode. The idea is simple: You perform your workflow once in a remote browser. Notte records the interactions and generates deterministic automation code. How it works: - Record clicks, inputs, navigations in a cloud browser - Compile them into deterministic code (no LLM at runtime) - Run and deploy on managed browser infrastructure Closest analog is Playwright codegen but: - Infrastructure…

    Hey HN! We’ve been building an MCP server to help AI-assisted web app developers by using browser agents to test whether changes made by an AI inside an editor actually work. We've been testing it on scenarios like verifying new flows in a UI, or checking that sending a chat request triggers a response. The idea is to let your coding agent both code and evaluate if what it did was correct. Here’s a short demo with Cursor: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=_AoQK-bwR0w When building apps, we found the hardest part of AI-assisted coding isn’t the coding—it’s tedious point-and-click…

    This project (Agents Observe) started as an exploration into building automation harnesses around claude code. I needed a way to see exactly what teams of agents were doing in realtime and to filter and search their output. A few interesting learnings from building and using this: - Claude code hooks are blocking - performance degrades rapidly if you have a lot of plugins that use hooks - Hooks provide a lot more useful info than OTEL data - Claude's jsonl files provide the full picture - Lifecycle management of MCP processes started by plugins is a bit kludgy at best The biggest takeaway is…

    Title: Show HN: PageAgent, A GUI agent that lives inside your web app Hi HN, I'm building PageAgent, an open-source (MIT) library that embeds an AI agent directly into your frontend. I built this because I believe there's a massive design space for deploying general agents natively inside the web apps we already use, rather than treating the web merely as a dumb target for isolated bots. Currently, most AI agents operate from external clients or server-side programs, effectively leaving web development out of the AI ecosystem. I'm experimenting with an "inside-out" paradigm instead. By…

    MCP360▲61

    Hey HN Community, I built MCP360 after spending weeks integrating APIs for an AI agent project. Each tool needed its own setup, auth, billing, and maintenance. When any APIs changed, my integrations broke. I got tired of it. MCP360 is a single gateway giving AI agents access to 100+ tools through one config block. Search engines, web scraping, SEO, e-commerce data, maps, domain tools, and more. Real example: Instead of managing Google Search, web scraping, SERP tracking, and keyword research as 4 separate subscriptions (4 bills, 4 auth systems, 4 points of failure), you connect once. Works…
