Also in its favour: - No incidents deducted, where DeepTutor loses 3 points for them Watch for: No API, MCP server or A2A endpoint for an outside agent. ### DeepTutor (B) Good for: A learner, a teacher or a small group that wants a self-hosted tutor over their own documents, with quizzes, research reports, memory and IM companions, or for an agent that hands study tasks to it through the JSON CLI.

No outside agent can call it, the service fee isn't published, and no status page or security contact was found. **DeepTutor.** DeepTutor runs on the owner's machine under Apache 2.0, ships releases every few days with upgrade notes, and gives other agents a JSON CLI with resumable sessions. Its default launch binds all interfaces with sign-in off and permissive CORS, there is no security policy, and two CVEs in 2026 covered a shell-tool RCE and a multi-user MCP bypass, both fixed. ## Before you call either ### asaply 1. Don't plan to call asaply from another agent. It answers only texts from the owner's phone number and group chats it joins. 2. Tell the owner each errand adds an unpublished service fee to the order total. ### DeepTutor 1. Run `deeptutor run "..." --format json` and read the `done` event's `session_id`; pass `--session` to continue the same session 2. Configure with `deeptutor config apply setup.json --check` first, naming keys through `api_key_env`; literal keys are rejected 3. Before exposing it beyond one machine, enable sign-in in `auth.json`, set exact `cors_origins` and set `BACKEND_HOST=127.0.0.1` where loopback is wanted 4. Run 1.4.10 or later. Earlier versions carry CVE-2026-51870 (shell tool RCE, fixed in 1.4.1) and CVE-2026-58168 (multi-user MCP bypass) 5. Set `sandbox_allow_subprocess` to false where generated code must run only in the runner sidecar or bubblewrap ## Questions ### Which is better for AI agents, asaply or DeepTutor?

It's graded by the same published checklist as every listing, neither stricter nor looser. Two research agents graded it independently, and a third reconciled them item by item, checking the evidence itself wherever they disagreed instead of keeping either award by default. --- Query this catalogue directly over MCP: https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no key).
