awesome-mcp-servers

awesome-mcp-servers is one of the most popular curated lists of Model Context Protocol servers on GitHub. It collects servers you install and run yourself, organised into dozens of categories such as browser automation, databases, developer tools, finance, knowledge and memory, search and security, plus sections on frameworks, tutorials, community resources and tips.

It is a good starting point when you are looking for an MCP server for a particular service or task and want to see what exists before choosing. Each entry links to the repository, many carry legend icons for implementation language and local or cloud operation, and many include a quality and maintenance score badge from Glama, an MCP directory associated with the list's maintainer. Hosted servers you connect to over a URL are kept in a separate list, awesome-remote-mcp-servers, and MCP clients in awesome-mcp-clients.

How to use it: browse the table of contents or search the page for the service you need, then evaluate candidates before installing them. Our guide "How to Choose an MCP Server" offers a checklist covering publisher, maintenance, permissions, transport, credentials and licensing.
