What are MCP servers?
An MCP server connects Claude to an outside system through the Model Context Protocol: a database, a browser, GitHub, Figma, a cloud account. Claude Code adds one with claude mcp add. Some servers run on your machine, others send your data to a cloud service, and many need an API key. Each server here shows where its data goes and what it can do.
MCPMods lists 4,418 MCP servers; 3,434 of them pass as low risk on our checks. Data refreshed 2026-10-18.
