5 tools offered to AI assistants
search_recipes· Find how UGT gets a job done on the user's own computer with open-source software from GitHub, such as subtitles, CAD, video or web pages to Markdown. Search by what the user wants done or by a project's name, or omit the query to list theget_project· Get how UGT runs one GitHub project, by owner/repo or its link: the recipes people have shared for it, each verified for one job. Call it whenever the user names a GitHub project they want to use. Every GitHub project works with UGT, so theget_recipe· Get one recipe in full: what it takes and makes, what stays usable after a run, the settings it asks for, everything it can reach and why, where it was tested, and every file it runs. Use it to tell the user exactly what a recipe will do beread_recipe_file· Read one of a recipe's files, such as compose.yaml, its Dockerfile or recipe.json, to see exactly what it runs. get_recipe lists its files.get_install· Get the one line that installs UGT on the user's computer and connects it to their AI apps, UGT for Claude Desktop, and what each computer runs recipes in. Omit the computer to get every one.
What "online" means: the server answered an MCP connection at the time of the check. It is not a guarantee of security, quality or continuous uptime. How we test: we open an MCP session and ask for the tool list, as an AI assistant would. We never run a tool and never send a key. Checked every few days. Method
Is this your server? Monitoring Pro: a check every 30 minutes and an email within the hour when it stops answering. Launch offer: $39.99 once, for life.
