The current MCP ecosystem for enterprises

#mcp #llm #opensource

A curated list of awesome Model Context Protocol solutions for building, finding, hosting, learning, securing, and using MCP servers and clients.

If you're exploring Model Context Protocol (MCP) for enterprise use, you've probably run into the same questions:

How do we get started with building servers and clients?
How do we secure and operate tool usages?
Where do we find high quality servers for our use case?

This post lays down the current enterprise ecosystem for MCP. A awesome-list style collection of products and resources across the MCP stack - platforms to build with MCP, not just MCP servers.
