MyMCPTools MCP Server

An MCP server for finding other MCP servers — and, more usefully, for checking whether the one you are about to recommend is actually reachable.

Every uptime figure it returns comes from a real MCP handshake against the server's remote endpoint, not from self-reported metadata in a README.

Backed by mymcptools.com. No API key required.

Install

Requires Node.js 18+.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mymcptools": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mymcptools-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Add that to claude_desktop_config.json (Claude Desktop), .cursor/mcp.json (Cursor), or your client's equivalent.

Remote endpoint

This package is a thin stdio adapter over a hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint. If your client speaks Streamable HTTP directly, skip the package and point it at:

https://mymcptools.com/api/mcp

Set MYMCPTOOLS_MCP_URL to override the upstream endpoint the adapter talks to.

Tools

Tool	What it answers
search_mcp_servers	Which servers match this keyword, category, client integration or install type?
get_mcp_server	Full entry for one server: install command, repo, supported clients, current probe verdict.
get_server_status	Is this server reachable right now? Verdict, exposed tool count, handshake latency, negotiated protocol version.
get_server_history	Trailing probe history and a daily uptime sparkline for one server.
list_server_incidents	Reconstructed outages — contiguous runs of failed probes, with start, end and duration.
list_schema_drift	Which servers added, removed or changed tools between probes. Useful for spotting breaking changes.
list_categories	Every category and client integration, with counts. Returns the valid slugs for the filters above.
get_catalog_stats	Population-level health: verdict breakdown, transport mix, latency percentiles.

What the probe data does and does not cover

Worth stating plainly, because the numbers are easy to misread:

• The catalog carries ~2,700 entries, but only ~44 are probeable — that is, they publish a remote endpoint something can actually connect to.
• The rest are local-only servers (stdio, run via npx or docker on your machine). There is no remote endpoint to handshake against, so they are reported as UNPROBEABLE rather than assigned a made-up status. For those, get_mcp_server falls back to a static repo-freshness signal.
• UNPROBEABLE therefore means "not remotely checkable", not "broken".

So treat the live-verification tools as high-confidence for remote/hosted servers, and treat the catalog entry itself as the useful part for local ones.

Verdicts

Verdict	Meaning
GOOD	Handshake succeeded and the server listed its tools.
WARN	Reachable, but something was off — slow handshake or a degraded response.
AUTH_REQUIRED	Endpoint is live but needs credentials before it will list tools.
DOWN	Endpoint is published but the handshake failed.
UNPROBEABLE	No remote endpoint to probe — typically a local stdio server.

Development

npm install
npm run build

Smoke-test the built server over stdio:

printf '%s\n%s\n%s\n' \
  '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-06-18","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"t","version":"1"}}}' \
  '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"notifications/initialized"}' \
  '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/list","params":{}}' \
  | node dist/index.js
