mcp-star

MCP Star is a curated showcase hub for high-quality MCP servers. It does not itself run a single MCP server but serves as a community-driven directory where developers can submit, review, and feature MCP implementations that adhere to quality standards. As a user, you can browse the featured list, follow installation instructions provided by each server’s documentation, and join the Discord community for support and collaboration. The platform emphasizes quality—servers listed here are expected to be production-ready, well-documented, and secure. If you’re a developer, you can review the Quality Guidelines, submit your server for review, and connect with other MCP developers to get feedback and visibility for your project.

Prerequisites:

• A modern shell (bash, zsh, PowerShell)
• Optional: Node.js and npm if you plan to explore Node-based MCP server examples or contribute tooling

Install steps:

1. Clone the MCP Star repository or open the repository hosting page to explore the list of featured MCP servers.
2. Read the CONTRIBUTING.md and any server-specific documentation (e.g., server-submission templates) to understand the submission criteria and how to get a server featured.
3. If you intend to contribute a new MCP server, ensure it adheres to the quality guidelines, prepare a submission using the provided template, and join the Discord community for guidance.
4. For running any MCP server you discover here, follow its own installation and run instructions in its dedicated docs or repository.

Tips:

• The MCP Star project is a curated collection; individual servers will have their own prerequisites, configuration options, and deployment instructions. Always refer to the specific server’s documentation for environment variables and runtime requirements.
• Common environment variables you may encounter include MCP endpoint URLs, authentication tokens, and database connection strings. Use descriptive placeholders like VAR_NAME or consult the server’s README for exact names.
• If you’re submitting a server, provide clear testing instructions, security considerations, and upgrade paths to help reviewers assess long-term maintainability.
• If you encounter issues, check the server’s Discord channel for community support, and review any open issues or FAQ sections in the repository.
