Why MCP Marketplace?
Works with every MCP client
MCP Marketplace is not tied to any single AI assistant. Whether you use Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or another MCP-compatible client, every server in the directory works for you.
Creators keep 85% of every sale
We believe the people who build MCP servers should benefit from their work. Creators keep 85% of revenue on paid listings — just a 15% marketplace commission.
Every server is security-scanned
Each submission goes through an automated security scan before it appears in the directory. Results are public so you can make informed decisions before installing anything.
