Awesome MCP Tools
A curated list of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, clients, SDKs, and resources for building with AI agents.
Maintained by Godberry Studios. Contributions welcome — see the end of this file.
The Model Context Protocol is an open standard, introduced by Anthropic in late 2024, for connecting AI models to tools, data, and actions in a uniform, agent-callable way. This list catalogs the pieces of that ecosystem that are worth knowing.

The Spec
- Model Context Protocol — official site — spec, quickstart, examples.
- MCP spec on GitHub — source of truth, RFCs, changelog.
Official SDKs
- TypeScript SDK — most mature, production-used.
- Python SDK — reference implementation, good for prototyping.
- Kotlin SDK — maintained by Anthropic + JetBrains.
- C# SDK — maintained by Microsoft.
- Java SDK — maintained by Spring AI team.
- Swift SDK — newer, useful for on-device agents.
Clients (run MCP servers)
Apps and runtimes that can load MCP servers and expose them to an LLM:
- Claude Desktop — the original reference client.
- Claude Code — Anthropic's terminal CLI, loads MCP servers via config.
- Cursor — the editor; MCP server support in settings.
- VS Code (Copilot Chat) — first-party MCP support added in 2025.
- Zed — MCP-first editor integration.
- Continue.dev — open-source IDE agent with MCP support.
- mcp-cli — command-line tester for any MCP server.
Servers — Pay-per-use & hosted
Production servers you can call today without self-hosting. Priced per call, no seats.
Godberry Studios
- Content-to-Social MCP Server — turn any URL, article, or text into ready-to-post social content (X, LinkedIn, Facebook). Callable from Claude, ChatGPT, any MCP client. $0.07 / transformation.
- Google Reviews Scraper — Google Maps reviews for any business, under 60s, validated across 9 countries. From $0.10 / place.
Others
(Add well-known commercial MCP servers here. Suggested entries to verify and include: Apify MCP, Zapier MCP, Composio MCP, Pipedream MCP, Brave Search MCP.)
Servers — Self-hosted & open-source
- MCP reference servers — official collection (filesystem, git, github, postgres, slack, memory, fetch, and more). Start here.
- Awesome MCP Servers — community list, larger and broader than this file; cross-referenced where useful.
(Pick out the highest-quality self-hosted servers and list them with one-line descriptions. Keep signal-to-noise high.)
Dev tools & boilerplates
- MCP Inspector — the debugger / test harness. Essential.
- create-mcp-server — scaffold a new TypeScript MCP server.
- mcp-server-apify-starter — production-ready starter for a pay-per-use MCP server on Apify. Streamable HTTP + pay-per-event billing wired up.
- MCP-Vercel templates — search the Vercel templates for "MCP" to deploy in one click.
Related protocols
The MCP era is being built on a small stack of complementary protocols. Know these:
- WebMCP — exposing MCP tools through browser/web-standard APIs so agents can discover them like they discover APIs.
- x402 — the HTTP 402 "Payment Required" revival for agent-native, per-call billing. Pay AI agents inline with calls.
- A2A (Agent-to-Agent) — Google's proposed protocol for agents discovering and calling each other. Often paired with MCP.
Articles & learning
- Godberry Studios Blog — deep-dives on MCP security, x402, WebMCP, and shipping MCP servers for pay.
- Anthropic's MCP launch post — the original announcement and rationale.
- (Add high-quality third-party posts as the ecosystem publishes them.)
How to contribute
This list is curated, not exhaustive. Contributions welcome:
- Open a PR adding your tool / server / article under the right section.
- One line per entry: Name — what it does + why it matters (no marketing fluff).
- Open-source repos, paid services, and hosted endpoints are all eligible, as long as they are production-quality and actively maintained.
