Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 8, 2026
At CurateTools, accessible from curatetools.com, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that is collected and recorded by CurateTools and how we use it.
1. Information We Collect
CurateTools does not require user registration or account creation for general visitors. We do not collect, request, or store any personal data when you browse our catalog of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.
However, standard logging is performed by our hosting providers. This includes:
- Internet Protocol (IP) addresses
- Browser type and version
- Internet Service Provider (ISP)
- Date and time stamp
- Referring/exit pages
These logs are used solely for monitoring website performance, ensuring security, diagnosing technical issues, and preventing abuse.
2. Cookies
We do not use tracking cookies or marketing cookies on our website. We may use essential, technical cookies or local storage solely to support session security (such as for the administrator login dashboard) and to store user preferences (e.g. search settings).
3. Third-Party Services
CurateTools operates as an aggregator. We fetch metadata, statistics, and documentation from external repositories. The primary third-party services we interact with include:
- GitHub API / npm / PyPI: Used to discover and query public MCP server packages and repository details.
- OpenRouter (DeepSeek V4): Used by our background pipeline to analyze, summarize, and enrich descriptions of tools. This happens entirely in the backend; visitor query data is not sent to the LLM.
- Supabase: Our database provider, used to host catalog data.
4. Admin Dashboard Security
The administrative section of our website is restricted using password-based basic authentication. Login credentials and pipeline API keys are securely kept in server environment variables and are never transmitted to general users.
5. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We advise you to review this page periodically for any changes. Changes are effective immediately after they are posted on this page.
