Frequently asked questions
What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?+
MCP is an open standard released by Anthropic in November 2024. It defines a single JSON-RPC interface so any LLM client (Claude, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, Continue) can connect to any external tool — databases, GitHub, Slack, Figma — without writing custom integration code.
How many MCP servers exist in May 2026?+
StackPicks has indexed 89 production-ready MCP servers across 18 categories. The ecosystem includes ~15 official Anthropic reference servers, ~35 vendor-built servers from companies like GitHub, Cloudflare, Stripe, Supabase, and ~40 high-quality community servers.
How do I install an MCP server?+
Two paths: (1) Click "Add to Cursor" on any card here — Cursor opens with the install dialog pre-filled. (2) Manually edit your client config: claude_desktop_config.json (Claude Desktop), .cursor/mcp.json (Cursor), or the settings UI (Cline/Windsurf). The JSON shape is identical across all clients.
Which MCP servers should I install first?+
Start with five official Anthropic servers: Filesystem (file edits), GitHub (issues + PRs), Fetch (read URLs), Sequential Thinking (better planning), and Memory (persistent knowledge graph). Together they cover 80% of real workflows. All are listed in the directory above.
Are remote MCP servers different from local?+
Yes. Local MCP servers run as subprocesses on your machine (stdio transport). Remote MCP servers are hosted by the vendor and authenticate via OAuth — Linear, Sentry, PostHog, Cloudflare, Vercel ship remote servers so you never hold raw API keys. Both are listed with their transport type in the directory.
Is this MCP directory free?+
Yes. The full 89-server MCP directory is free, no signup required. Curated paid content lives at /preview (165+ open-source repos with curator takes) and the stack bundles at /build. Lifetime access is ₹99 / $2.99.
