Mcpfinder MCP Server

MCPfinder — An App Store for Your AI 🔍

The MCP server that finds MCP servers.

Install once. Your AI finds and installs MCP servers for you.

Every time you need a new tool — a database connector, file manager, API integration — you have to manually search GitHub, npm, or registries, find the right MCP server, figure out the config format, and paste it into a JSON file.

MCPfinder eliminates all of that. Add it to your AI tool once, and from that point on your AI can discover, evaluate, and install any MCP server on demand from 25000+ options across three registries.

You: "I need to connect to my PostgreSQL database"
AI: (uses MCPfinder) → finds postgres-mcp-server → generates config → done.

Why MCPfinder?

• 🔍 Your AI searches for you — 25000+ servers, 3 registries, full-text search with ranking
• 📦 Ready-to-paste configs — for Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code, Cline, Windsurf, VS Code
• ⭐ Smart ranking — popularity, relevance, recency, and cross-registry presence
• 🌐 Remote servers supported — hosted MCP servers work out of the box (no npm install needed)
• ⚡ Zero config — just add MCPfinder and start asking

Quick Install

Add MCPfinder to your AI tool — pick your platform:

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (Mac) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcpfinder": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@mcpfinder/server"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop to activate.

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcpfinder": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@mcpfinder/server"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor auto-detects config changes — no restart needed.

Claude Code (CLI)

Add to .mcp.json (project) or ~/.claude.json (global):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcpfinder": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@mcpfinder/server"]
    }
  }
}

Cline / Roo Code (VS Code)

Add to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcpfinder": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@mcpfinder/server"]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add to ~/.windsurf/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcpfinder": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@mcpfinder/server"]
    }
  }
}

Note: First run syncs all registries (~1-2 min). After that, data is cached locally and refreshes automatically.

What Can Your AI Do With MCPfinder?

How It Works

User: "I need to access my Slack workspace"
  ↓
AI calls search_mcp_servers("slack")
  ↓
MCPfinder searches 25000+ servers across 3 registries
  ↓
Returns ranked results (relevance × popularity × recency)
  ↓
AI calls get_install_command("slack-mcp", "cursor")
  ↓
Returns ready-to-paste JSON config + file path + env vars needed
  ↓
AI configures it (or shows user what to paste)
  ↓
Done — new capability added ✨

Search & Ranking

Full-text search powered by SQLite FTS5. Results ranked by:

• Relevance (40%) — how well the query matches name/description
• Popularity (30%) — Smithery usage count (log-scaled)
• Registry presence (20%) — appears in multiple registries = more established
• Recency (10%) — recently updated servers ranked higher

Filters: transport type (stdio/sse/http), package type (npm/pypi/docker), registry source (official/glama/smithery).

Data Sources

Servers appearing in multiple registries are deduplicated and merged — combining metadata from all sources. Data refreshes automatically every 15 minutes.
