What MCP is, briefly

The Model Context Protocol is an open standard for connecting AI assistants to external tools and data. Before it, every assistant needed a bespoke integration for every tool — an N×M problem. MCP turns it into N+M: a tool implements one server, and any MCP-capable client can use it.

A server exposes three kinds of thing. Tools are functions the model can call, such as querying a database or creating an issue. Resources are data the model can read, such as files or records. Prompts are reusable templates the user can invoke.

Servers run either locally over stdio, which is the common case for developer tooling, or remotely over HTTP with authentication. Local servers run with your own privileges on your own machine, which is what makes the security note below matter.

About

The Free MCP Servers directory lists 37 free and open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers — including 16 official Anthropic-maintained servers and 21 community-built servers. MCP is an open standard that lets AI assistants like Claude connect to external tools and data sources: file systems, databases, APIs, browsers, and productivity apps. Each card links directly to the server's GitHub repository so you can install and configure it in minutes.

How to use

  1. 1 Browse by category (System, Database, Dev Tools, Web, Browser, etc.) or search by name or keyword.
  2. 2 Cards with an "Official" badge are maintained by Anthropic as reference implementations.
  3. 3 Click any card to open the GitHub repository with installation instructions.
  4. 4 Add a server to Claude Code by running: npx -y @anthropic-ai/claude-code mcp add <server-name>.
What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?
MCP is an open standard developed by Anthropic that defines a universal interface between AI assistants and external tools. It lets AI models like Claude securely read files, query databases, browse the web, call APIs, and interact with applications — replacing one-off integrations with a single, consistent protocol. MCP servers are lightweight processes that expose these capabilities.
Are MCP servers free to use?
All servers listed here are free and open-source. Some wrap third-party APIs (like Brave Search or Google Maps) that have their own free tiers and rate limits. The MCP server software itself is always free — you only pay for the underlying API usage if the service you connect to charges for it.
How do I install an MCP server for Claude Code?
Run npx -y @anthropic-ai/claude-code mcp add <server-name> in your terminal, replacing <server-name> with the server's npm package name (shown on each card). Claude Code will install and configure the server automatically. For servers not on npm, clone the GitHub repository and follow the manual installation instructions in the README.
