BUY-2700: AI Tool Directory Submission Sprint Board and Retry Plan

Owner: Reach Prepared: 2026-04-16 Sprint window: 2026-04-17 to 2026-04-19

Objective

Turn the current AI-tool directory backlog into an executable board that:

keeps only live, high-fit destinations
captures the submission mechanics or blocker for each destination
separates agent-executable work from manual or board-dependent work
routes follow-up work into the right growth lane without more rediscovery

Current State

Completed and should not be retried in this sprint:

Glama.ai
Smithery.ai
Anthropic MCP Registry

Live validation completed on 2026-04-16:

mcp.directors no longer resolves and should be removed from active plans
superagent.sh currently resolves to an AI security company, not a public registry destination for this workflow
agentops.ai is live, but the public site does not expose a clear self-serve listing flow; its footer points to the Agency marketplace at marketplace.agen.cy
OpenInterpreter/open-interpreter is an active GitHub project, but the repo does not expose a registry submission path; treat this as ecosystem integration or outreach, not a directory submission
punkpeye/awesome-mcp-servers is active and has a clear contribution path via GitHub PR; the README states the web directory is synced with Glama

Sprint Board

Priority	Destination	Current status	Submission path	Requirements	Execution mode	Next action	Owner lane
1	`punkpeye/awesome-mcp-servers`	Live, high-fit, executable	GitHub PR editing `README.md` under the right category	Repo URL, one-line description, category placement, contribution-format compliance	Agent-executable	Prepare PR packet using existing MCP metadata and submit first	Distribution
2	Glama sync check	Already listed; no new submission needed	Verify the existing `glama.json` metadata still matches the current product story	Metadata review only	Agent-executable	Use as canonical source for all other directory copy	Distribution
3	Smithery sync check	Already listed; no new submission needed	Verify `smithery.yaml` metadata still matches the current product story	Metadata review only	Agent-executable	Use as canonical source for install steps and env var wording	Distribution
4	Agency marketplace (`marketplace.agen.cy`)	Live but unclear listing mechanics	No visible self-serve submit route found from public pages	Human-visible browser and/or direct contact path	Manual	Route to manual-outreach lane with a ready listing packet instead of attempting blind automation	Growth ops
5	AgentOps / Agency contact	Live company site, but not a confirmed directory	Public contact path only	Human follow-up, likely intro note or partnership-style ask	Manual	Treat as outreach, not directory automation	Growth ops
6	OpenInterpreter ecosystem	Active project, but not a registry	GitHub/community integration path still needs a specific ask	Decide whether the follow-up is docs, example, issue, or integration PR	Mixed	Reframe from "registry submission" to "ecosystem integration brief"	DevRel
7	`mcp.directors`	Dead	None	DNS failure	Remove	Delete from active queue and execution logs	Archive
8	`superagent.sh`	Stale for this use case	None for directory listing	Domain now represents a different product category	Remove	Delete from active queue and execution logs	Archive

Three-Day Plan

2026-04-17

Primary goal: execute the one clean GitHub-native listing path and lock canonical metadata.

Normalize canonical listing copy from:
- glama.json
- smithery.yaml
- claude-mcp-registry-submission.md
Prepare the awesome-mcp-servers entry:
- category recommendation: E-Commerce
- short description: BuyWhere as an agent-native product search and price-comparison MCP server
- repository URL: https://github.com/buywhere/buywhere-api
Submit or stage the PR packet.
Mark mcp.directors and superagent.sh as invalid in all active sprint references.

2026-04-18

Primary goal: hand off manual-only targets with zero rediscovery required.

Package the Agency marketplace / AgentOps listing brief:
- product name
- one-line description
- long description
- install steps
- MCP use case
- links and UTM targets
Route that packet to the manual growth lane for browser-visible submission or contact outreach.
Reframe OpenInterpreter from registry submission to one of:
- ecosystem issue
- example integration
- docs mention
- partner outreach

2026-04-19

Primary goal: clean the backlog and prevent stale retries.

Update the standing target lists so stale entries are not re-queued.
Leave the next operator with:
- one completed or in-flight GitHub-native submission
- one manual packet for Agency marketplace / AgentOps
- one reframed follow-up brief for OpenInterpreter

Retry Rules

Retry only when the destination still has a confirmed route.

Retry now:

awesome-mcp-servers if the first PR needs formatting or category changes
manual Agency marketplace / AgentOps outreach once a human-visible path is available

Do not retry until a new route is discovered:

mcp.directors
superagent.sh

Do not classify as "directory submission" without a new proof point:

OpenInterpreter

Canonical Listing Packet

Use this copy across GitHub-native and manual destinations unless the target forces shorter fields.

Product name:

BuyWhere

Short description:

Agent-native product catalog API for shopping agents. Search products, compare prices, and retrieve structured commerce data through one MCP-ready API.

Long description:

BuyWhere is the retrieval layer for AI commerce workflows. It gives developers and agent builders structured product search, price comparison, deal discovery, and category browsing instead of retailer-by-retailer scraping. The MCP server and API are designed for agent workflows, with installable tools for search, product lookup, comparison, deals, and category navigation.

Primary MCP command:

python mcp_server.py

Required environment variables:

BUYWHERE_API_KEY
BUYWHERE_API_URL defaulting to https://api.buywhere.ai

Lane Routing

Distribution lane:

awesome-mcp-servers PR
metadata parity check for Glama and Smithery

Growth ops lane:

Agency marketplace submission attempt
AgentOps / Agency contact follow-up

DevRel lane:

OpenInterpreter ecosystem integration brief

Archive lane:

remove mcp.directors
remove superagent.sh
update legacy docs that still describe both as active targets
