MCPfinder - MCP Server Discovery

mcpfinder/mcpfinder

Think of this as the MCP server that helps your AI find other MCP servers. It searches across the Official Registry, Glama, and Smithery registries in one shot, returns trust signals and popularity metrics, then generates the exact JSON config snippet you need for Claude Desktop, Cursor, or whatever client you're running. Four tools: search by keyword, inspect details and warnings, browse by category, get install config. Install it once with npx and your assistant can bootstrap its own capabilities on demand. The server works entirely offline after first sync using a prebuilt SQLite snapshot, so discovery stays fast even when you're rate limited elsewhere.

Readme

MCPfinder

The MCP server that helps AI agents discover, evaluate, and install other MCP servers.

MCPfinder is an AI-first discovery layer over the Official MCP Registry and Glama. Install it once, and your assistant can search for missing capabilities, inspect trust signals, review required secrets, and generate client-specific MCP config snippets.

Canonical Use

Canonical transport: stdio via npx -y @mcpfinder/server
Canonical package: @mcpfinder/server
