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
Remote endpoint (recommended — nothing to install)
The server is hosted. If your client speaks Streamable HTTP, point it straight at:
Stateless, read-only, no auth, no API key. This is also the entry published to the
official MCP Registry as
io.github.shibley/mymcptools.
Local stdio adapter
The code in this repo is a thin stdio adapter over that same endpoint, for clients
that don't speak Streamable HTTP yet. It is not on npm yet, so build it from
source (Node.js 18+):
Then point your client at the built entrypoint:
Add that to claude_desktop_config.json (Claude Desktop), .cursor/mcp.json (Cursor), or your client's equivalent.
Set MYMCPTOOLS_MCP_URL to override the upstream endpoint the adapter talks to.
Tools
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.
