Quick answers
What is an MCP server?
An MCP server is a small program that gives an AI assistant a specific capability, like querying a database, controlling a browser, or reading your files. Your AI client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, and others) connects to it over the Model Context Protocol. Our plain-English guide covers the rest. What is MCP? →
Which MCP server should I use?
Start from what you're building: every category page ranks its servers by monthly installs, GitHub stars, and commit recency, so the maintained ones with real adoption surface first. If you already have a config file, the stack analyzer reads it and suggests what fits. Analyze your config →
How do I install an MCP server?
Each server's page shows copy-paste install configs for popular clients, the exact command to run, and which credentials it needs before first use. Remote servers skip the install entirely: you add a URL to your client and connect.
How does MCPhq verify 26,516 servers?
Nightly, from primary sources: the official MCP registry for what exists, GitHub for maintenance signals, package registries for install counts, and a live probe of every remote endpoint. Pages re-verify every night and say when they were last checked. How we verify →
