Install

Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).

claude mcp add --transport http mymcptools 'https://mymcptools.com/api/mcp'

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

The server is hosted. If your client speaks Streamable HTTP, point it straight at:

https://mymcptools.com/api/mcp

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+):

git clone https://github.com/shibley/mymcptools-mcp-server.git
cd mymcptools-mcp-server
npm install && npm run build

Then point your client at the built entrypoint:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mymcptools": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/mymcptools-mcp-server/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

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

ToolWhat it answers
search_mcp_serversWhich servers match this keyword, category, client integration or install type?
get_mcp_serverFull entry for one server: install command, repo, supported clients, current probe verdict.
get_server_statusIs this server reachable right now? Verdict, exposed tool count, handshake latency, negotiated protocol version.
get_server_historyTrailing probe history and a daily uptime sparkline for one server.
list_server_incidentsReconstructed outages — contiguous runs of failed probes, with start, end and duration.
list_schema_driftWhich servers added, removed or changed tools between probes. Useful for spotting breaking changes.
list_categoriesEvery category and client integration, with counts. Returns the valid slugs for the filters above.
get_catalog_statsPopulation-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

VerdictMeaning
GOODHandshake succeeded and the server listed its tools.
WARNReachable, but something was off — slow handshake or a degraded response.
AUTH_REQUIREDEndpoint is live but needs credentials before it will list tools.
DOWNEndpoint is published but the handshake failed.
UNPROBEABLENo 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

Frequently asked questions

What is MyMCPTools?

Find MCP servers and check whether they actually respond, via live handshake probes.

How do I install MyMCPTools?

It runs as a remote server. In Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http mymcptools 'https://mymcptools.com/api/mcp'. For other clients, paste the JSON configuration from this page into their MCP settings.

Does MyMCPTools need an API key?

Its registry entry lists no required key or secret. Some features may still need an account with the service it connects to.

Is MyMCPTools open source?

Yes. Its code is on GitHub under the MIT license.

Who maintains MyMCPTools?

It is published by shibley. AI.tn lists it but does not maintain or endorse it.

From the official MCP Registry. Listing is not an endorsement: review a server's code and permissions before giving it access to your data.
