About
centaur.tools is a community registry for AI tools. Builders register their tools here so others can find them, compare approaches, and connect with people solving similar problems.
The name comes from Garry Kasparov's invention of advanced chess — a format where human and machine play together as partners. The best team wasn't the best human or the best machine. It was the best partnership.
The registry exists because discovery in the AI tools ecosystem is scattered. centaur.tools is where builders find each other.
FAQ
Why MIT license only?
Everything here is forkable, buildable-upon, and reusable. MIT keeps the ecosystem open. The social contract is simple: cite your parents.
What do stars mean?
"I used this and it was useful." Stars are a signal from builders to other builders. They don't create rankings — the default view is chronological.
How does proximity work?
When you register a tool, the registry matches your problem statement against existing tools. If someone else is solving a similar problem, you both get introduced. Two builders working on adjacent problems should know about each other.
How do I register a tool?
Sign in with GitHub and go to Submit. You'll need a name, description, problem statement, and repository URL. The problem statement is the key field — that's what the proximity engine matches on.
Can I edit my tool after registering?
Yes. Go to your tool's page and click Edit. You can update the description, problem statement, tags, and repository URL.
