The creator of the ClaudeRules MCP directory hand-checked 46 backlogged submissions—rejecting duplicates, dead links, and fakes—and highlighted 9 worth trying: Webhound (budget-capped web research), BeachFinder (184,900-entry beach DB), FrameThrower (film stills by cinematography), Lians (bitemporal local agent memory), Base2026 (attributed expert-video search), Palisade (SPF/DKIM/DMARC checks), Lovie (LLC/C Corp formation inside Claude Code), Orbit (human+agent task manager), and astrology/tarot MCPs. The directory now lists 625 servers.
