How to Set Up and Use Best of MCP Servers
Best of MCP Servers is a weekly-updated, automatically ranked directory of over 400 MCP servers spanning 34 categories, each scored by a composite project-quality metric derived from GitHub stars, activity, and package manager signals. It is generated by the best-of open-source tooling and serves as a discovery resource for developers evaluating which MCP servers to add to their AI assistant setups β covering categories from browser automation and code intelligence to databases, communications, and file systems.
Prerequisites
- A web browser to browse the directory at https://github.com/tolkonepiu/best-of-mcp-servers
- An MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) to install servers you discover
- Node.js and/or Python depending on the servers you choose to install
- Git for contributing new servers or updates to the list
Browse the ranked directory
Open the GitHub repository README. The 400+ servers are grouped into 34 categories, each entry showing the project name, description, GitHub stars, last update, and quality score. Categories include browser automation, developer tools, databases, file systems, and more.
Filter by category to find relevant servers
Use the Contents table at the top of the README to jump to a specific category. Each category section is sorted by the project-quality score so the most mature, widely-used servers appear first.
Evaluate a server before installing
Click through to a server's GitHub repository to read its README, check open issues, and review the last commit date. The quality score factors in these signals but always verify the server is actively maintained for production use.
Install a discovered server
Follow the installation instructions in the server's own repository. Most TypeScript/Node.js servers install via npx; Python servers typically use pip or uvx. Add the server to your MCP client configuration.
# Example: install a server discovered in the list (replace with the actual package)
npx -y <discovered-mcp-package>Contribute a new server or update
To add or update a server in the list, open an issue or pull request on the tolkonepiu/best-of-mcp-servers repository and edit the projects.yaml file with the server's details. The list is regenerated weekly.
