I Built a Directory of 1500+ MCP Tools

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) ecosystem is exploding. Every week, dozens of new tools appear on GitHub. But discovering the right tool for your AI workflow? That is still painfully hard.

So I built mcphello.com — a curated directory of 1,500+ MCP tools across 19 categories.

What makes it different?

Quality scoring — Every tool gets a 0-100 score based on GitHub stars, activity, documentation quality, and utility
Security scanning — Dependencies are checked for known vulnerabilities
19 categories — From developer tools and databases to browser automation and AI/ML
Real-time updates — New tools are discovered and indexed every 6 hours

Top 5 MCP Tools Right Now

everything-claude-code (95⭐) — Agent harness optimization for Claude Code
Browser automation tools — Playwright and Puppeteer wrappers for web tasks
Database connectors — PostgreSQL, SQLite, MongoDB MCP servers
Search tools — Web search, code search, and document retrieval
AI/ML integrations — Connect GPT, Claude, and open-source models

Why MCP Matters

Think of MCP like browser extensions, but for AI applications. Instead of manually copying data between tools, MCP lets your AI assistant directly interact with databases, APIs, file systems, and web services.

If you are building anything with AI agents, you should be paying attention to MCP.
