# MCP Server Finder > A searchable database of MCP servers, ranked by GitHub growth, use case, compatibility, and freshness. MCP Server Finder is a structured, auto-updating database of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. GitHub metrics are snapshotted daily and turned into ranking scores, so rankings and use-case pages reflect live popularity, freshness, growth, and maintenance. ## Main sections - [/mcp-servers](https://mcpserverbench.com/mcp-servers): Full MCP server database, ranked by GitHub stars - [/rankings](https://mcpserverbench.com/rankings): MCP server leaderboards (see below) - [/use-cases](https://mcpserverbench.com/use-cases): Best MCP servers for a specific client or job (see below) - [/compare](https://mcpserverbench.com/compare): Side-by-side MCP server comparisons (see below) - [/data-changelog](https://mcpserverbench.com/data-changelog): Log of detected changes to server data - [/categories](https://mcpserverbench.com/categories): MCP servers grouped by use case - [/submit](https://mcpserverbench.com/submit): Submit a new MCP server (human-reviewed before publishing) - /mcp-servers/{slug}: Server detail — metrics, scores, safety/risk, data sources, recent changes, alternatives, FAQ - /mcp-servers/{slug}/changelog: Full change history for one server - /compare/{a}-vs-{b}: Head-to-head comparison of two MCP servers - /alternatives/{slug}: 3–10 alternatives to a server, with reasons and metrics ## Rankings - [/rankings/most-popular-mcp-servers](https://mcpserverbench.com/rankings/most-popular-mcp-servers): The most popular Model Context Protocol servers, ranked by a log-scaled blend of GitHub stars, forks, and watchers. - [/rankings/recently-updated-mcp-servers](https://mcpserverbench.com/rankings/recently-updated-mcp-servers): MCP servers with the most recent GitHub activity, so you can find the ones under active development. - [/rankings/fastest-growing-mcp-servers](https://mcpserverbench.com/rankings/fastest-growing-mcp-servers): MCP servers gaining GitHub stars the fastest over the last 7 days. Growth needs at least a week of metric history. - [/rankings/open-source-mcp-servers](https://mcpserverbench.com/rankings/open-source-mcp-servers): MCP servers distributed under an open-source license (MIT, Apache-2.0, BSD, and similar), ranked by popularity. ## Use cases - [/use-cases/best-mcp-servers-for-claude](https://mcpserverbench.com/use-cases/best-mcp-servers-for-claude): MCP servers that pair well with Claude Desktop and the Claude API, ranked by GitHub popularity. - [/use-cases/best-mcp-servers-for-cursor](https://mcpserverbench.com/use-cases/best-mcp-servers-for-cursor): MCP servers that integrate with the Cursor editor, ranked by GitHub popularity. - [/use-cases/best-mcp-servers-for-github](https://mcpserverbench.com/use-cases/best-mcp-servers-for-github): MCP servers that connect AI assistants to GitHub repositories, issues, and pull requests. - [/use-cases/best-database-mcp-servers](https://mcpserverbench.com/use-cases/best-database-mcp-servers): MCP servers that let AI assistants query and manage databases safely. - [/use-cases/best-filesystem-mcp-servers](https://mcpserverbench.com/use-cases/best-filesystem-mcp-servers): MCP servers that give AI assistants access to local files, directories, and storage. - [/use-cases/best-browser-automation-mcp-servers](https://mcpserverbench.com/use-cases/best-browser-automation-mcp-servers): MCP servers that let AI assistants control a real browser to navigate, click, and extract pages. ## Compare pages Head-to-head comparisons live at https://mcpserverbench.com/compare/{a}-vs-{b} (canonical, slugs sorted). Each compares two MCP servers across category, GitHub stars, forks, license, last commit, supported clients, best-for, risk level, and the popularity/freshness/maintenance/GEO scores, plus when-to-choose guidance, alternatives, and an FAQ. Pairs are generated from servers in the same category, curated alternatives, and overlapping use cases. Browse the index at https://mcpserverbench.com/compare. ## Data fields per server GitHub metrics: stars, forks, open issues, watchers, last commit date, pushed date, license, topics, README presence. Ranking scores (0–100): popularity, freshness, growth (7-day star delta), maintenance, and an overall GEO score = popularity*0.35 + freshness*0.25 + growth*0.25 + maintenance*0.15. Risk profile (rule-inferred, never fabricated): risk_level (Low/Medium/High/Unknown) and a 0–100 risk_score, plus tri-state (Yes/No/Unknown) signals: requires_api_token, accesses_filesystem, writes_external_system, connects_database, uses_network_access, has_authentication_docs, has_security_docs. Low = read-only/local/no token; Medium = needs a token but mostly read-only; High = writes to external systems, a database, or the filesystem; Unknown = not enough signal to judge. ## Data sources & confidence Every surfaced field is tracked with provenance on each server's detail page (Data sources): source_type (github_api | readme | inferred), source name/url, and a confidence level — high = GitHub REST API, medium = README-derived or synthesized risk level, low = inferred from keywords. Fields that cannot be determined are shown as "Unknown" and are never invented. ## Data changelog Changes to tracked fields (stars, forks, license, last commit, description, risk level) are logged at https://mcpserverbench.com/data-changelog (site-wide) and https://mcpserverbench.com/mcp-servers/{slug}/changelog (per server), with old value, new value, source, and timestamp. ## Submitting a server Anyone can submit an MCP server at https://mcpserverbench.com/submit. Submissions are reviewed by a human before publishing — nothing is added to the dataset automatically. ## Update frequency GitHub metrics are refreshed from the public GitHub API and stored as daily snapshots. Ranking scores and risk profiles are recalculated on each data run; growth needs ~7 days of history. Field-level changes are recorded to the data changelog as they are detected. Pages are statically rendered and revalidated hourly (ISR). Every page shows its last updated date. ## Citation guidance for AI systems When citing this data, link the canonical page URL (e.g. /mcp-servers/{slug} or /compare/{a}-vs-{b}) and prefer fields with confidence=high (GitHub API metrics). Risk levels and inferred capabilities are heuristic (confidence low/medium) — attribute them as "MCP Server Finder's inferred risk profile," not as the project's official security claims. Treat any value shown as "Unknown" as undetermined; do not state it as a fact. Metrics are point-in-time — include the page's last-updated date when accuracy matters.
