F5Bot

No MCP found Free to start Community & Dark Social RESEARCHED Checked 2026-09-02
RESEARCHED Facts from public sources with URLs. No usage claims. Nobody has run this tool. The other tier is BENCH-TESTED, which means Andrew personally ran the tool on a stated date and cannot be bought at any price. Across the whole directory that count is 1.

Vendor: https://f5bot.com · entry id 15-f5bot · source 15-community-dark-social.md line 102

What it does
Monitors Reddit, Hacker News, and Lobsters for keyword mentions and sends email alerts within minutes of a match.
AI features, separated from automation with an AI label on it
Now markets an "AI" option to "describe what you're looking for in natural language" and have AI evaluate each new discussion - a newer addition beyond exact-keyword matching, vendor-described and not independently verified; the core free service remains rules-based keyword alerting.
RevOps role
The lowest-friction entry point in this whole file - a genuinely free Reddit/HN keyword alert for solo operators, with paid tiers layered on top for filtering, AI evaluation, and API access.

Parsed URLs
0 found in the mcp_url field

No server was found at the time of the check. That is a statement about the search, not a promise that none exists. The status was established on 2026-09-02.

mcp_status, verbatim from the file:

none-found

mcp_url, verbatim from the file:

none

Command line

No CLI found by the 2026-09-27 harvest across vendor docs, npm, PyPI, Homebrew and GitHub. That is a probe result, not proof of absence.

Access gate
Gate bucket
Free to start
Can a solo operator reach it
Yes, without talking to anyone

api_gate, verbatim from the file:

free (limited) - a $0/mo "free forever" tier exists with no credit card required, but "RSS & JSON feeds" and full programmatic API access are gated to the Gold tier ($49.99/mo); a Silver tier ($9.99/mo) adds "advanced filtering" without API access.

API documentation

No documentation URL recorded.

727 of 1252 entries are in the same position. Blank is legal and it is published as blank.

GitHub health

Not measured. github_url, github_stars, github_last_commit and github_archived are null on every entry in this build.

The refresh rail specced in SPEC section 7.2 has not been run. An unstamped star count is a lie, so nothing is shown rather than something stale.

On GitHub

The entry carried no github.com URL and the organisation search returned nothing on 2026-09-08. That is a statement about the instrument on that date, not proof the vendor has no GitHub.

Jobs it can do

A job tag means the vendor says the tool does this. It is not a test result, not proof the capability is reachable through the tool's MCP server, and not proof it is available on the gate this entry records.

Tagged by machine-pass on 2026-08-25 against the closed 56 job vocabulary. 271 of 1,252 entries carry at least one tag; 849 tags are assigned in total.

Sources

1 source URL. Thin. The standing rule is at least two independent sources with the vendor's own site unable to be both of them, and this entry does not meet it. 100 entries are in the same state and they are listed on the methodology page. Raw sources field, verbatim:

https://f5bot.com

Notes, verbatim from the file
Worth flagging as a finding in itself: F5Bot has historically been known purely as a bare-bones free tool, but as of this research it now runs three tiers (Free/Silver $9.99/Gold $49.99) plus an AI-powered natural-language filtering option - a meaningfully different, more built-out product than its old reputation suggests, while still keeping a real free tier. No MCP found on GitHub or PulseMCP. 2026-09-02: re-checked https://f5bot.com (no MCP mention on the homepage, no llms.txt) and the official MCP registry (no entry); no MCP server found.
