9 lists · free and open on GitHub

Awesome lists
for AI you run yourself

Curated lists of AI tools: local and private AI, MCP servers, coding agents, llms.txt, Linux distros and the licence fine print. Every list is an open GitHub repo, and every page here is built from it.

Pick a list

awesome-local-ai

Curated list of AI tools that run 100% on your machine — no cloud, no telemetry, no "local-ish" setups that secretly phone home.

84 entries

awesome-private-ai

AI tools that treat your data as yours. Privacy by architecture, not by policy page.

37 entries

awesome-mcp-servers

Working MCP servers for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, the Claude Agent SDK, and other MCP-compatible clients in 2026, each labelled with who publishes it, where it runs, and what it can change.

90 entries

awesome-ai-coding-agents

Honest comparison of AI coding assistants in October 2026. What each one does well, what it does badly, which to pick for your situation. No sponsored placements, no affiliate links, no paid rankings.

23 entries

awesome-llms-txt

A curated list of AI tools, platforms, and services that publish llms.txt — making them discoverable to AI agents doing research on behalf of human users.

128 entries

awesome-linux-for-ai

Curated tier list of Linux distros, ranked specifically for running local AI on your own hardware in 2026 — NVIDIA driver currency, CUDA / ROCm ergonomics, kernel cadence, btrfs / snapshot safety. Not a general-purpose desktop list.

14 entries

awesome-ai-minefield

The AI Minefield — AI model and tool licences read end-to-end, with the clause that matters quoted on each card. The ones we can recommend, and the ones with caveats you should know about before you ship.

24 entries

anti-dev-tier-list

S–F tier list of platforms, APIs, licenses, and policies ranked by how hostile they are to developers — with receipts.

comfyui-workflows

Reproducible ComfyUI workflows, pinned to specific ComfyUI commits + custom-node versions. No workflows are published yet.

Open door, honest labels, weekly checks

The catalogs take anything real. Local AI, private AI, MCP servers, coding agents and llms.txt list every tool that works and is in scope, new and small projects included. Instead of gatekeeping, every entry is labelled: who publishes it, where it runs, what it costs, its licence, and whether it was listed in the last 60 days.

Two lists are editorial. Linux for AI ranks distributions for running AI on your own GPU, and the AI Minefield quotes the licence clause that decides whether you can use a model commercially. Those are our judgement, with the reasons on every card.

Every week, a routine checks every link and every upstream repository. What stops working, gets archived or goes quiet is reviewed and, if it is gone, removed.

Missing something? Open an issue on the list's GitHub repo with a link and a sentence on what it does.
