This repository curates a list of high-quality, remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, targeting AI developers and researchers. It simplifies discovering and integrating external tools and resources into AI models via a standardized protocol, offering a secure and user-friendly alternative to local installations.

How It Works

The project lists publicly accessible MCP servers that facilitate AI model interaction with external services. It categorizes servers by functionality (e.g., Project Management, Software Development, Payments) and details their authentication methods (OAuth 2.0, API Key, Open). The focus on remote servers emphasizes ease of use, web client compatibility, and a security model akin to web browsing when authenticated.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Usage: Discover and use server URLs listed in the README.
• Prerequisites: An MCP-compatible client (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor) or an LLM API request (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini).
• Resources: No local installation required for remote servers; setup involves adding server URLs to client configurations.
