AgentScout / How it started

How it started

Founder-run, mostly automated with AI agents.

I'm @clampdown19 (m lk). I make the calls. AI agents do most of the daily work: tool checks, listings, link and status checks, and reports.

The starting catalog is 610 tools dated 2026-10-14 through 2026-10-16. As of Oct 30, 2026, this site lists 2,065 tools, including 276 MCP servers, and 190 templates. Combined followers of @clampdown19 and @AgentScoutHQ: 2,121. Those figures are read from api/metrics.json and the directory file when the page is built.

Listing prices are $0, $15, $49, and $99 per week. The Directory Launch Pack is a separate $49 add-on, not a listing tier.

MCP server links are checked at 7 AM and 7 PM Pacific. The status page shows up, down, and not-yet-checked counts from those checks. Updated twice daily, 7 AM & 7 PM PT. A server with no check on file stays not yet checked.
