Yes. The Free plan includes every tool, recipe and recommendation, 200 tool calls a day and 30 requests a minute. You only need a free account, made with Google or GitHub.

Which AI tools does Cuely work with?

Any client that supports remote MCP servers over Streamable HTTP: the Claude app, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code and others. The Claude app signs you in with OAuth; the rest send a free API key.

Do vendors pay to be recommended?

No. Picks come from published rules in an open catalog. No vendor can pay for placement, and there are no affiliate links.

What does my agent get back?

A pick per category with the reason, the free plan's real limits, the monthly cost at 1,000 users, the catches that change the plan, and step-by-step setup recipes when one fits.

Does Cuely see my code?

No. Your agent sends a short description of what you're building. Cuely's tools are read-only and never touch your files.

Ask your first question

Start a new chat so your tool loads Cuely, then paste one of these, or describe your own project:

Use Cuely to choose the stack for a B2B SaaS with team accounts and monthly billing.

Ask Cuely for the setup recipe for a marketplace where customers pay providers and I keep 15%.

Use Cuely to compare Clerk and WorkOS AuthKit for an app that sells to enterprises.

I already use Supabase and Vercel. Ask Cuely what else this AI docs app needs, and what it costs at 1,000 users.

Your agent gets back a pick per category with the reason, real free-plan limits, the monthly cost at 1,000 users and the catches to plan for. Browse the same answers on the recipes and tools pages.

If Cuely doesn't show up

Start a new chat or restart your tool after adding the server; most tools load MCP servers at start.
A 401 error means the key is missing or wrong. Check the Authorization: Bearer header, or make a new key on your account page.
A 429 error means you hit the day's limit. It resets at 00:00 UTC.
Opening https://cuely.dev/api/mcp in a browser shows the setup page; that's expected.
