Awesome MCP Servers 2026

A curated, link-checked collection of useful Model Context Protocol servers for Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf and other MCP-compatible AI agents.

Verified: 18 July 2026. A working repository link does not guarantee that a server is safe for your environment. Review permissions, source code, release activity and authentication requirements before installation.

Security checklist

Before enabling any MCP server:

1. Read its security notes, license, open issues and recent release history.
2. Grant the smallest possible filesystem, repository, API and cloud permissions.
3. Use short-lived or narrowly scoped tokens; never commit secrets to a repository.
4. Prefer read-only access until write operations are genuinely required.
5. Run third-party servers in an isolated account, container or sandbox when practical.
6. Review every tool capable of deleting data, sending messages, executing commands or changing infrastructure.

Inclusion policy

A project may be added when it has:

• a public, reachable source or official documentation link;
• a clear MCP implementation and usage instructions;
• an identifiable maintainer and license;
• no unresolved placeholder or review marker in the catalog;
• a truthful status label: Official, Reference, Community or Demo.

Archived, missing or unverifiable projects are removed rather than linked to similarly named repositories.

Contributing

Contributions are welcome. Open an issue or a pull request and include:

• the canonical repository or documentation URL;
• maintainer/owner information;
• license;
• supported transport and authentication method;
• a short security note.
