About awesome-mcp-servers
TensorBlock/awesome-mcp-servers
A comprehensive collection of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers
Curates over 7,260 MCP servers across 33 categories—from AI integration and databases to browser automation and hardware—enabling developers to discover standardized tools for connecting Claude and other AI models to external systems. The collection uses a community-driven contribution model where servers are organized by use case and vetted for public accessibility, making it a discovery layer for the MCP ecosystem. Servers communicate via stdio transport and connect AI assistants to APIs, filesystems, cloud platforms, and developer tools through a universal protocol interface.

apify/mcp-servers
A curated collection of awesome MCP servers, published and monetized on Apify
Wraps open-source MCP servers with multi-transport support (HTTP-streamable and SSE) and deploys them on Apify's infrastructure for pay-per-use monetization. Features include automatic scaling, built-in analytics, OAuth authentication, and standby mode for instant responses. Includes 10+ production-ready servers (Brave Search, Firecrawl, Perplexity Sonar, etc.) with TypeScript and Python templates for building new MCP servers.
