MyMCPTools MCP Server

An MCP server for finding other MCP servers — and, more usefully, for checking whether the one you are about to recommend is actually reachable.

Every uptime figure it returns comes from a real MCP handshake against the server's remote endpoint, not from self-reported metadata in a README.

Backed by mymcptools.com. No API key required.

Install

Requires Node.js 18+.

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

Add that to claude_desktop_config.json (Claude Desktop), .cursor/mcp.json (Cursor), or your client's equivalent.

Remote endpoint

This package is a thin stdio adapter over a hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint. If your client speaks Streamable HTTP directly, skip the package and point it at:

https://mymcptools.com/api/mcp

Set MYMCPTOOLS_MCP_URL to override the upstream endpoint the adapter talks to.

What the probe data does and does not cover

Worth stating plainly, because the numbers are easy to misread:

• The catalog carries ~2,700 entries, but only ~44 are probeable — that is, they publish a remote endpoint something can actually connect to.

• The rest are local-only servers (stdio, run via npx or docker on your machine). There is no remote endpoint to handshake against, so they are reported as UNPROBEABLE rather than assigned a made-up status. For those, get_mcp_server falls back to a static repo-freshness signal.

• UNPROBEABLE therefore means "not remotely checkable", not "broken".

So treat the live-verification tools as high-confidence for remote/hosted servers, and treat the catalog entry itself as the useful part for local ones.

Development

npm install
npm run build

Smoke-test the built server over stdio:

printf '%s\n%s\n%s\n' \
  '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-06-18","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"t","version":"1"}}}' \
  '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"notifications/initialized"}' \
  '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/list","params":{}}' \
  | node dist/index.js
