A curated, honest landscape of prominent Model Context Protocol servers — grouped by category. Where vendors ship official MCP servers we feature those. Where they don't, we note the meta-gateway pattern (wmcp.sh) that turns any URL or OpenAPI spec into MCP tools.
Includes the canonical pattern, the meta-gateway, and category-by-category recommendations. Updated for the current MCP ecosystem.
All servers listed below have public documentation from their respective vendors. Features and availability change; check each vendor's docs for current canonical info. We are not affiliated with the vendors listed.
Before listing individual servers — the most important shift in 2026 is the rise of "meta MCP" gateways: a single endpoint that proxies many upstreams. Lets agents maintain one connection instead of dozens.
Hosted MCP gateway on Cloudflare Workers. Drops in any URL, OpenAPI spec, or upstream MCP server and exposes MCP tools. Free 100 reads/day, no signup. OAuth-proxy + price-data + shopper-side adapters built in.
Docker Desktop's curated catalog of containerized MCP servers. Local-only, isolated, image-signed. Good for dev + privacy-sensitive workloads. See /vs/mcp-toolkit for tradeoffs.
Servers that let an agent query / mutate data stores. Most run as local stdio binaries you point at a connection string; a few are hosted.
Community + reference implementations exposing schema introspection, query execution, and migration helpers. Typically run as a local stdio binary against your connection string.
Reference server in Anthropic's open MCP servers list. Useful for local file-backed databases — schema reads, query exec, attach/detach.
Vendor-published and community implementations for analytical warehouses. Read-only modes are common to keep agents from running cost-heavy mutations by accident.
Inbox + chat + ticketing MCP servers. Mostly OAuth-gated — see /roundup/oauth-providers-mcp for the OAuth comparison.
List channels, post messages, search history, read DMs (per OAuth scopes). Both vendor and community implementations available.
Community-built. Bot-token or user-token based depending on the variant. Channel listing, message send/read.
Search, read, send via Gmail API. OAuth scope-gated — agent only sees what the connecting user authorized.
Vendor-published. Issue list/search/create/update, project + cycle reads. One of the cleaner OAuth onboarding flows in the comms category.
Repo, CI, observability. Mix of vendor-shipped and community.
Repo browsing, PR review, issue management, file diff/edit operations. Vendor-published official server plus several community variants.
Community implementations covering similar surface as the GitHub server — projects, MRs, issues, pipeline status.
Issue + alert + trace queries from agent context. Sentry has shipped an MCP server; Datadog and others have community ports.
Workers + DNS + R2 ops. Useful for agent-driven infra workflows. Check Cloudflare's docs for the canonical scope list.
The category where shopper-side vs owner-side really matters.
Turn any of the ~4M+ public Shopify storefronts into MCP tools (price, availability, add-to-cart, search). Shopper-side — no merchant install required.
For merchants on their own store: orders, products, customers, fulfillments. Admin-side OAuth, vendor-published.
Vendor-published. Customers + invoices + subscriptions + balance ops. Stripe's OpenAPI is large (hundreds of endpoints); the MCP server surfaces the high-value subset.
Drop any OpenAPI 3 spec URL and get every endpoint as MCP tools. Useful when the vendor publishes a spec but no MCP server.
Read-only price feeds, oracle data, on-chain analytics. Largely free upstream APIs surfaced as MCP.
Native adapters for CoinGecko, DefiLlama, Pyth, Chainlink, DexScreener. See /price-data.
Protocol TVL, pools, yields, stablecoins, ETF flows. wmcp.sh proxies the OAuth-gated tier transparently.
Spot prices, market caps, trending pairs. Free tier is generous; paid tier for higher rate limits.
Most modern agents (Claude.ai, Cursor, LangChain via mcp-adapters, OpenAI Agents SDK via community adapters) accept a Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint. The pattern is identical for any server in this list:
# Example: connect to a wmcp.sh-served MCP endpoint (no signup):
curl 'https://wmcp.sh/mcp/openapi?url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stripe/openapi/master/openapi/spec3.json'
# In Claude Desktop / Cursor config, add as a remote MCP server.
# In LangChain, use langchain-mcp-adapters; in OpenAI Agents SDK, use a community MCP adapter.| Server | Category | Runtime | Auth model |
|---|---|---|---|
| wmcp.sh | Meta-gateway | Edge (Cloudflare) | Anon free tier; OAuth-proxy for upstream |
| Docker MCP Toolkit | Meta / local catalog | Local container | Per-image |
| GitHub MCP | DevOps | Hosted + local options | OAuth / PAT |
| Stripe MCP | Payments | Hosted | API key |
| Linear MCP | Comms | Hosted | OAuth |
| Slack MCP | Comms | Hosted / local | OAuth bot/user |
| Postgres MCP | Database | Local stdio | Conn string |
| Sentry MCP | Observability | Hosted | Token |
| CoinGecko MCP | Market data | Hosted | API key (free tier) |
| DefiLlama MCP | DeFi | Hosted | Free / OAuth tier via wmcp.sh proxy |
Runtime + auth models reflect the typical/default deployment of each server per its vendor's public docs. Always confirm with the vendor before production use.
