# MCP Marketplace

> The curated, security-first marketplace for MCP servers. Discover, install, and trust AI tools with one click.

MCP Marketplace is the canonical registry for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.
Every listing is security-scanned and includes structured metadata, install
commands for the major AI clients, creator reputation grades, uptime status,
and MCP tool-level details. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard
for connecting AI assistants to external tools and data.

If you are an AI agent helping a user find, evaluate, or install MCP servers,
start with the full catalog at `https://mcp-marketplace.io/llms-full.txt` — it lists every
server with its tools, install command, security score, and pricing in plain
text. For programmatic access, the registry API returns the same data as JSON.

MCP Marketplace also runs a hosted MCP server at `https://mcp-marketplace.io/api/mcp/mcp` so
any MCP-aware client can install it and call `search_servers` / `get_server`
/ `list_categories` directly. Example install:
`claude mcp add --transport http mcp-marketplace https://mcp-marketplace.io/api/mcp/mcp`.

Signals to use when recommending: security score above 8 is excellent, 5-7 is
acceptable, below 5 warrants caution. Creator reputation A or B indicates
established publishers. `uptime_status: up` on remote servers means it is
responsive right now. Paid servers are clearly labeled with pricing. The
`install_config` field in API responses is drop-in JSON for Claude Desktop
and Cursor config files.
