Common questions

About these free tools

Are Guagua Tools free?

Yes. Every listed tool can be opened and used without creating an account or starting a trial.

Do the tools upload my configuration or files?

Most checks and conversions run locally in the browser. Each tool states its processing and privacy boundaries on its own page.

Which MCP clients are supported?

MCP Config Lab covers common formats used by Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, and Gemini, while the other MCP tools focus on security, OAuth, and Registry metadata.

Can I use these tools on mobile?

Yes. The directory and individual utilities are responsive, although large configuration files are generally easier to review on a desktop screen.

PURPOSE & METHODOLOGY

A focused tool, with the context to use it well

Guagua Tools was created to publish a curated collection of free MCP, AI agent, and web-development utilities. It is intended for developers and technical creators who need small, focused browser utilities. The tool is free, requires no account, and is paired with original explanations so you can understand the result rather than copy an unexplained output.

How to use the result

Start with a sample or a non-sensitive copy of your data, run the check, and review every finding before changing a production project. Tools are selected for a specific, documented problem. The directory includes original descriptions, topical collections, and direct links to the source repositories so readers can evaluate each utility. Specifications and software evolve, so confirm high-impact decisions against the linked primary documentation.

Privacy and limitations

text or files submitted to individual tools is processed in your browser wherever the tool page states that local processing is used. Avoid entering passwords, access tokens, personal data, or confidential material. Automated output may be incomplete because it cannot know your entire deployment, threat model, or organizational policy.

Independent and transparent

This is an independent developer resource, not an official certification service. Source code and issue tracking are available on GitHub. Read more about the project, review the privacy policy, or report an error.
