Awesome MCP Servers
Awesome MCP Servers
A very large list, but the quality of individual servers is uneven.
A large list of community-built MCP servers, grouped by purpose.
Overview
Awesome MCP Servers is a curated, community-maintained list on GitHub gathering a great many MCP servers, from production-ready to experimental, for file access, databases, API integrations and many other services.
Servers are grouped into categories such as browser automation, databases, programming tools, security, search and data extraction, version control and office work. Each entry has icons indicating whether it is official, its programming language, whether it runs locally or in the cloud, and supported operating systems.
The list has a synced web version on Glama and has been translated into many languages. Note: the list does not verify each server's security claims, so you need to review carefully before installing.
Highlights
Large catalogue, clearly grouped
Many categories by field help you quickly find a server for your need.
Easy-to-filter icons
Marks official versions, language, local or cloud, and operating system.
Web version on Glama
A web directory synced with the GitHub repository for more convenient browsing.
Learning resources included
Has sections on clients, frameworks, guides and community.
MIT license
The list is shared under the MIT license.
What it's for
Surveying solutions
Business owners look at the Workplace and Productivity groups to see which office tools already have MCP servers.
Finding database servers
IT teams look for a server for the type of database the company uses.
Picking the right operating system
Filter by icon to choose servers that run on the office's Windows or macOS.
Reference before building your own
Developers look at similar servers to learn how to design.
How to use it
- 1
Read the icon legend
Understand the icons for official versions, language, local or cloud, and operating system.
- 2
Choose a suitable group
Go to the Server Implementations section and find the group matching your need.
- 3
Prefer official versions
Choose servers marked as official where available.
- 4
Check source code and permissions
Open the server's repository, read the README and see what API keys or account permissions it needs.
- 5
Try in a separate environment
Test the install on a test machine with sample data before real use.
Real-world example
A small e-commerce company in Hai Phong wants an AI assistant to help staff look up data and operate the browser. The IT person browses the Databases and Browser Automation groups in the list, filters for servers that run locally on Windows, then reads each server's source code and required permissions before trying them on a test machine.
Tips & notes
Don't trust by default
The list does not verify each server's security claims, so check the code yourself.
Be careful with servers that need API keys
Servers requiring API keys, account permissions or involving payments need careful review.
Look for remote servers in another list
This list focuses on self-installed servers; URL-based servers have been moved to a separate list.
Cross-check with the Registry
Also check the official MCP Registry to confirm the origin.
FAQ
Is this MCP's official list?
No, it is a community list. The official directory is the MCP Registry.
