A smart MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides intelligent recommendations for other MCP servers based on your development needs.
## Features
- š **Smart Search**: Find MCP servers using natural language queries
- š **Rich Database**: Access to 874+ curated MCP servers across 36+ categories
- šÆ **Intelligent Matching**: Advanced scoring algorithm for relevant recommendations
- š·ļø **Category Filtering**: Filter by specific categories and programming languages
- š **Easy Integration**: Simple setup with uv package manager
- š§ **Multiple Interfaces**: Support for both CLI and MCP client integration
## Installation
### Using uv (Recommended)
```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/mcp-team/mcp-recommender.git
cd mcp-recommender
# Install with uv
uv sync
# Test the installation
uv run -m mcp_recommender --test
```
### Using pip
```bash
pip install mcp-recommender
```
## Usage
### Command Line Interface
```bash
# Test mode - verify installation and see sample recommendations
uv run -m mcp_recommender --test
# Server mode - start the MCP server
uv run -m mcp_recommender --server
# Debug mode - detailed diagnostic information
uv run -m mcp_recommender --debug
```
### MCP Client Integration
Add to your MCP client configuration:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-recommender": {
"isActive": true,
"name": "mcp-recommender",
"type": "stdio",
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"/path/to/mcp-recommender",
"run",
"-m",
"mcp_recommender"
]
}
}
}
```
### Available Tools
Once integrated, you can use these tools in your MCP client:
#### `recommend_mcp`
Get intelligent MCP server recommendations based on your needs.
**Parameters:**
- `query` (string): Description of functionality you need
- `limit` (integer, optional): Maximum number of recommendations (default: 5)
- `category` (string, optional): Filter by specific category
- `language` (string, optional): Filter by programming language
**Example:**
```
recommend_mcp("database operations with SQLite", limit=3)
```
#### `list_categories`
List all available MCP categories with counts.
#### `get_functional_keywords`
Show functional keyword mappings for better search results.
## Categories
The recommender covers 36+ categories including:
- **Developer Tools** (120+ servers)
- **Databases** (79+ servers)
- **Search & Data Extraction** (69+ servers)
