MCP server directory
Model Context Protocol · standardized access to tools and data sources
Built for evaluation and rollout: browse official reference / community / commercial servers—72 entries, each with install commands and typical scenarios. The matrix below summarizes how Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf usually handle stdio, remote, and OAuth-style tools (as of 2026-05; defer to vendor docs).
Why MCP deserves deep coverage
MCP turns “what tools can the model call?” from IDE-specific wiring into an open protocol: the same server can plug into Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and more. Teams care about what to install, how to install it, and which tasks it fits, plus whether a client supports stdio, remote transports, or OAuth-style flows.
Official registry & discovery:MCP Registry
Host client capability matrix
| Client | Notes | stdio / local subprocess | Remote SSE / HTTP | OAuth-style sign-in tools |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Claude Desktop | Anthropic desktop client; configure local stdio subprocesses via `claude_desktop_config.json`. | Supported (primary) | Remote MCP / SSE follows official documentation | Some connectors support OAuth (depends on the MCP) |
| Claude Code | Terminal agent; manage MCP servers with commands such as `claude mcp add`. | Supported | Remote capabilities expand with releases | Matches product remote-MCP policies |
| Cursor | IDE Settings → MCP; declare commands and env vars in JSON. | Supported | See Cursor release notes (URL-style transport improving over time) | Depends on the specific server implementation |
| Windsurf | Cascade MCP; workspace or global configuration. | Supported | See Codeium/Windsurf documentation | Depends on the specific server implementation |
Capabilities change quickly; if this table disagrees with official docs, defer to Claude / Cursor / Windsurf / Codeium release notes.
