# Syftly

> Ranks the best AI tool or API per task — transcription, text-to-speech, web search, scraping and OCR. Every answer is computed from aggregated public benchmarks and comes with a provider table, prices, dated sources and an honest confidence label. Free, no signup.

Syftly is also an MCP server: connect at https://syftly.vercel.app/api/mcp (streamable HTTP, no auth). One tool: `find_best_tool` — ask it "what's the best/cheapest API for [task]" and get the same ranked answer machine-readable.
