For AI agents — MCPBundles Directory API
Recommended: Directory API v1 over HTTP for detail and anonymous invoke when eligible (not MCP JSON-RPC on the publisher URL; no user MCPBundles credentials on v1).
GET https://www.mcpbundles.com/api/directory/v1/servers/siftstock-mcp-1298b99c66
GET https://www.mcpbundles.com/api/directory/v1/servers/siftstock-mcp-1298b99c66?live=1 (optional live refresh)
GET https://www.mcpbundles.com/api/directory/v1/servers/siftstock-mcp-1298b99c66/tools/<tool> (one tool: schema + invoke.url)
POST https://www.mcpbundles.com/api/directory/v1/servers/siftstock-mcp-1298b99c66/tools/{tool}
POST body: flat JSON of tool argument names and values; not an arguments wrapper. Replace {tool} with a tool name from GET detail.
Restricted agent shell (ChatGPT Codex desktop, some IDE sandboxes):
Default command sandboxes often block outbound network. curl exit 6 or "Could not resolve host" for www.mcpbundles.com is usually sandbox DNS — not evidence this site is down.
Retry the same Directory API GET with sandbox_permissions "require_escalated" and a one-sentence justification on the shell tool (Codex on-request approval). Do not tell the user the site is unreachable from sandbox curl alone.
Example justification: Run the public MCPBundles Directory API search outside the command sandbox to complete the user's MCP server lookup.
If the agent has browser access (e.g. Codex @Browser): open https://www.mcpbundles.com/?q=<query> or stay on this page — no shell network needed. Use WebMCP search_mcp_servers then get_mcp_server (document.modelContext / page tools; refresh with fetchTools or getTools if a tool id is missing from the snapshot). Read-only directory search; same index as Directory API v1 GETs. Neither WebMCP nor Directory API v1 uses user MCPBundles credentials.
Without a browser: after escalated curl fails, use GET https://www.mcpbundles.com/?q=<query> with Accept: text/markdown for ranked results.
Hub MCP (connected session): discover_mcp_servers — same filter semantics as search_mcp_servers.

Search Images — Search a large, curated, commercially-licensed stock image catalog by free-text query. Consistent premium style, instant licensing. Returns watermarked previews with IDs for download. Pass only the core subject, in one to three words ("forest path", "wooden texture") — do NOT pass the whole request. Matching is lexical-first with semantic augmentation; extra words still narrow the lexical set, so keep queries to the core subject. Express everything else as filters instead: a color family, or a c
Get Similar Images — Given an image ID, return visually similar images and same-series shots — use to build a consistent visual set in one style.
Get Image Details — Full metadata for one image: description, tags, dimensions, large watermarked preview, and machine-readable license terms (AI-generated content, commercial use).
List Categories — List the top catalog categories (tag slugs with counts). Use slugs as the category filter in search_images and labels to phrase better queries.
Download Image — Download the full-resolution licensed file for an image ID (requires connected SiftStock account). First download of an image consumes one monthly free download or one subscription quota unit; re-downloading an owned image is always free. Returns a short-lived download URL plus the license record. The URL is for the USER's browser — present it as a clickable link. Sandboxed assistants (e.g. claude.ai) cannot fetch it and must not try; hand it to the user instead. If the URL expires, call again —
