How to Set Up and Use MCPSO
MCPSO is an MCP server that provides AI assistants with search and discovery access to a curated directory of Awesome MCP Servers, allowing agents to find and recommend tools for any capability without manual lookup. Built on the chatmcp/mcpso project, it connects to the MCP server store index and exposes directory query tools so AI agents can dynamically discover integrations during a conversation. It is particularly useful for developers building agent workflows who want their AI to self-discover the right MCP tool for a task.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or later with npx available
- An MCP client such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, or VS Code
- Internet access to reach the MCP server directory store
Add the MCPSO server to your MCP client config
The MCPSO server runs via npx with no prior installation needed. Add the following block to your claude_desktop_config.json or equivalent client configuration.
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcpso": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcpso"]
}
}
}Restart your MCP client
Close and reopen Claude Desktop (or reload your editor). The MCPSO directory tools will be registered and available for use.
Query the MCP server store
Ask your AI assistant to search the MCPSO directory for servers matching a capability, category, or keyword. The server returns structured listing data from the store index.
Get installation details for a server
Once a server is found, ask for its installation command and configuration so you can add it to your setup immediately.

npx cannot find the mcpso package
Run 'npm search mcpso' to verify the package exists on the npm registry. Ensure Node.js 18+ is installed with 'node --version'. Clear the npx cache with 'npx clear-npx-cache' and try again.
Directory queries return empty or stale results
The server pulls data from the remote MCP server store. Check your internet connection. If results seem outdated, try specifying a broader search term or different category keywords.
Server does not appear in the tool list after config change
Validate your claude_desktop_config.json for JSON syntax errors. Ensure the 'mcpso' key is nested correctly under 'mcpServers' and that there are no trailing commas.
