Public Mcp Servers

18,000+ MCP servers in one place. Live: https://mcp-directory-jade.vercel.app — a single static page, no build step. Sister site of public-apis.

Two layers:

1. 125+ hand-curated servers — what each does, what it costs (tier badge), and exact connect configs for Claude Code / Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code.
2. 18,000+ server catalog — merged from every public MCP registry: the official registry, Smithery, Glama and punkpeye/awesome-mcp-servers. Names, descriptions and links; not individually vetted.

MCP ≠ API

An API is a service's raw interface. An MCP server is a standard connector that wraps tools/data so any AI agent can use them — the agent speaks one protocol (MCP) instead of a hundred APIs. Server code is almost always free & open source; the tier badge rates what it costs to actually use it end-to-end, including the service behind it.

Structure

File	Purpose
`index.html`	The whole site — tabs, search, filters, connect-config generator, catalog
`data.js`	Curated server data (source of truth)
`stars.js`	GitHub star counts, generated
`mcp-catalog.js`	Extended catalog (~18k), generated
`fetch-stars.mjs`	Regenerates stars.js
`scrape-catalog.mjs`	Rebuilds mcp-catalog.js from the public registries (raw fetch, no clone)
`validate.mjs`	PR schema check (runs in CI)
`check-links.mjs`	PR link check (runs in CI)
