This repository is a curated list of open-source projects that implement the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard for AI applications to securely connect to external tools, databases, and services. It serves as a comprehensive resource for developers and researchers looking to integrate AI models with a wide array of functionalities, from cloud platforms and data analysis to hardware control and security tools.

How It Works

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) acts as a standardized "USB-C port" for AI, defining a common interface for AI models to interact with external systems. This list showcases a vast ecosystem of MCP servers, each designed to expose specific functionalities or data sources to AI agents. Projects range from simple utilities like date calculators to complex integrations with cloud providers, databases, and specialized APIs, all adhering to the MCP standard for interoperability.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Installation: Projects vary; common methods include pip install <package-name> or using Docker.
• Prerequisites: Dependencies are project-specific, often including Python, Node.js, specific SDKs, or cloud platform accounts.
• Resources: Setup time and resource requirements depend heavily on the individual project's complexity and dependencies.
• Links: The README provides category links to explore specific server types.

Highlighted Details

• Extensive Coverage: Lists over 7,000 MCP servers across numerous categories, with a focus on recent projects.
• Standardization: Promotes interoperability by adhering to the MCP standard for AI tool integration.
• Diverse Applications: Covers a wide spectrum of use cases, from code execution and data analysis to IoT and security.
• Community-Driven: Curated list reflecting the growing ecosystem around AI-powered tool integration.

Maintenance & Community

The repository is community-driven, with contributions from numerous individuals and organizations. Specific community links (Discord, Slack) are not detailed in the README.

Licensing & Compatibility

Licenses vary per project, as this is a curated list of external repositories. Users must check individual project licenses for compatibility and commercial use restrictions.

Limitations & Caveats

This is a directory of projects, not a single unified framework. Users must evaluate each listed project individually for its specific features, maintenance status, and licensing. The sheer volume means some projects may be experimental or less actively maintained.
