Glama

The official local MCP server and CLI for AllMCPs.com — search, browse, get install configs for, and submit Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers directly from Claude, Cursor, any MCP-compatible agent, or a plain shell script.

This package is a thin stdio bridge to the AllMCPs remote MCP endpoint. Tool behavior lives server-side, so this package always exposes the current live tool set with no need to upgrade the package when a tool is added or changed.

v2.0.0 replaces the single submit_mcp tool with the full tool set below, including a renamed submit_mcp_server (previously submit_mcp). If you depend on the old tool name, pin allmcps-server@1.

Install

Requires Node.js 18+. Add to your MCP client config (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "allmcps": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "allmcps-server"]
    }
  }
}

CLI mode

Run with a subcommand instead of a bare npx allmcps-server and it becomes a plain scriptable CLI over the public REST API — no MCP client needed:

npx allmcps-server search postgres      # search the directory
npx allmcps-server categories           # list every category
npx allmcps-server server <id>          # full detail for one listing
npx allmcps-server help                 # usage

Each prints JSON to stdout, so it composes with jq and other Unix tools. With no subcommand it runs as the MCP stdio server described below (the default npx allmcps-server behavior).

Tools

Tool

Required arguments

Description

search_mcp_servers

—

Search by keyword and/or category; optional transport (remote/stdio) and verified_only filters.

get_mcp_install_config

id

Setup for a server in 13 clients (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Cline, Zed, Codex, Gemini CLI, JetBrains, Roo Code, Continue, LM Studio); optional client for one.

get_mcp_alternatives

id

Alternatives to a server in the same category.

compare_mcp_servers

ids (2 to 4)

Side by side: install, evidence it works, tools, health, stars, last commit, quality score.

recommend_mcp_stack

role

A small stack of complementary servers for a role or workflow.

list_mcp_categories

—

List all categories with server counts.

get_boost_pricing

—

Get pricing and features for boosting/featuring a listing.

boost_mcp_server

id

Start a sponsorship/boost order — returns a Stripe checkout URL and x402 invoice.

get_boost_status

id

Check boost and verified-badge status for a listing.

submit_mcp_server

name, url, email

Submit a new MCP server to the directory.

verify_mcp_claim

id

Verify ownership and claim a listing via GitHub README, site badge, or DNS.

register_mcp_agent

email

Start unattended-agent registration — emails a confirmation code.

confirm_mcp_agent

email, code

Exchange the emailed code for a bearer token (see below).

submit_mcp_server submissions land in the pending review queue at allmcps.com. The response includes a claim_url and a ready-to-paste badge_markdown snippet — adding that badge to your repo's README verifies the listing instantly instead of waiting on manual review.

verify_mcp_claim normally requires an active AllMCPs sign-in, which an unattended agent doesn't have. To claim without a browser session: call register_mcp_agent, retrieve the code from the email it sends, call confirm_mcp_agent to mint a bearer token, then pass that token as agentToken on verify_mcp_claim. Full spec: https://allmcps.com/auth.md

Every tool's full input schema (including optional arguments like category, description, sku, and method) is available at runtime via the standard MCP tools/list call, or by inspecting /api/mcp directly.

Available Tools

13 tools
boost_mcp_serverA

Initiate a sponsorship / boost order for an MCP server by ID, returning a Stripe checkout session URL and x402 invoice.

Inputs: id (required), sku, email.

compare_mcp_serversB
Read-only

Compare 2 to 4 MCP servers side by side: transport, install command, evidence they work, tool count and source, health, GitHub stars, last commit and quality score.

Inputs: ids (required).

confirm_mcp_agentA

Exchange the 6-digit code emailed by register_mcp_agent for a durable bearer token (90-day TTL). Pass the returned token as agentToken on verify_mcp_claim, or set it as an Authorization: Bearer <token> header on subsequent MCP requests if your client supports that.

Inputs: code (required), email (required).

get_boost_pricingA
Read-only

Get pricing and features for boosting / featuring an MCP server on AllMCPs.com.

get_boost_statusB
Read-only

Check current boost status, verified badge level, and sponsorship expiration for an MCP server by ID.

Inputs: id (required).

get_mcp_alternativesA
Read-only

List alternative MCP servers to a given server ID — same category, ranked by fit and evidence that they work.

Inputs: id (required), limit.

get_mcp_install_configA
Read-only

Get setup for one MCP server by ID: the config for every major client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Cline, Zed, Codex, Gemini CLI, JetBrains, Roo Code, Continue, LM Studio) plus its documentation. Pass client for just one.

Inputs: id (required), client.

list_mcp_categoriesA
Read-only

List all categories available in the AllMCPs directory along with server counts.

recommend_mcp_stackA
Read-only

Recommend a small stack of complementary MCP servers for a role or workflow (e.g. "fullstack web app", "data science", "devops on AWS"), drawn from a live directory search.

Inputs: role (required).

register_mcp_agentA

Start unattended-agent registration: emails a 6-digit confirmation code to the given address. Follow up with confirm_mcp_agent to exchange the code for a bearer token, which unlocks verify_mcp_claim (and future privileged tools) without ever needing a human to sign in via browser.

Inputs: email (required), scopes, agentName.

search_mcp_serversA
Read-only

Search the AllMCPs directory for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers by keyword or category.

Inputs: limit, query, category, transport, +1 more.

submit_mcp_serverA

Programmatically submit a new MCP server repository to AllMCPs.com for indexing and review. Supports the same optional enrichment fields as the human submission form — fill in whichever you can confidently determine from the repository (README, package.json, code) to produce a fully flushed-out listing. Omit anything you are not confident about rather than guessing; all enrichment fields are optional and unrecognized enum values are simply dropped, not rejected.

Inputs: url (required), name (required), email (required), tags, +12 more.

verify_mcp_claimA

Verify ownership and claim an MCP server listing by checking GitHub README badge, website badge, or DNS TXT record. Works two ways: (1) fully unattended — pass agentToken from confirm_mcp_agent (or set an Authorization: Bearer <token> header if your client supports it), no human sign-in needed; or (2) if called with neither, requires the caller to already have an active AllMCPs browser session. Unattended agents should use register_mcp_agent + confirm_mcp_agent first.

Inputs: id (required), method, agentToken, websiteUrl.

    TDQS

    A3.9/5.0

    Scored across 13 tools

    Disambiguation4/5

    Most tools target distinct actions, but the discovery cluster (search_mcp_servers, get_mcp_alternatives, compare_mcp_servers, recommend_mcp_stack) has some conceptual overlap that could cause misselection. The boost trio (boost_mcp_server, get_boost_pricing, get_boost_status) and the auth flow (register/confirm/verify) are clearly separated by their descriptions.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All tools follow a strict verb_noun snake_case pattern (get_, list_, search_, compare_, recommend_, submit_, register_, confirm_, verify_, boost_). No deviations or mixed conventions, making the set highly predictable.

    Tool Count5/5

    13 tools is well within the sweet spot for a directory-plus-account server, and each tool covers a distinct capability (discovery, submission, verification, sponsorship). Nothing feels redundant or missing from a count perspective.

    Completeness4/5

    The surface covers discovery, comparison, recommendation, submission, verification, and boost lifecycle well. A minor gap is the absence of a generic 'get single server by ID' for full details, though get_mcp_install_config and compare_mcp_servers partially fill that role.
