I Built a Directory of 600+ AI Addons — Here's Why

TL;DR: I created MCP Hub — a searchable directory of 602+ AI customization tools including MCP servers, Claude Skills, OpenClaw Skills, AI Personas, and OpenAI GPTs. Free to use, no signup required.


The Problem

If you use Claude, ChatGPT, or other AI assistants, you've probably wondered: "Can I extend this with custom tools?"

The answer is yes — but finding those tools is a mess:

  • MCP servers scattered across GitHub
  • Claude Skills buried in Discord servers
  • AI personas copy-pasted in Reddit threads
  • GPTs hidden in ChatGPT's search (if you can find them)

I spent hours hunting for good addons. So I built MCP Hub to solve this.


What is MCP Hub?

MCP Hub is a searchable directory of 602+ AI addons in one place:

  • 359 MCP Servers — Tools for Claude Desktop (filesystem, GitHub, databases, APIs, etc.)
  • 56 Claude Skills — Instruction sets for specialized workflows
  • 65 OpenClaw Skills — Agent skills for OpenClaw platform
  • 63 AI Personas — Expert character prompts for any AI
  • 59 OpenAI GPTs — Custom ChatGPT bots

Each addon has:

  • Full description
  • Installation instructions (copy-paste ready)
  • GitHub stars & install counts
  • Related addons by category
  • Direct links to source

Features

🔍 Search by Keyword, Category, or Type

Find exactly what you need:

  • "database" → PostgreSQL, SQLite, MongoDB servers
  • "coding" → Code review agents, GitHub tools
  • "writing" → Content generators, editors, tutors

🆓 100% Free

No signup, no paywalls, no tracking


Why I Built This

I'm a developer who uses AI tools daily. Setting up MCP servers for Claude was game-changing — suddenly I could:

  • Query my PostgreSQL database in natural language
  • Search my codebase without leaving the chat
  • Automate GitHub issues
  • Run shell commands safely

But finding good servers was painful. I'd spend 30+ minutes searching GitHub, Reddit, Discord just to discover one new tool.

MCP Hub was born from that frustration. I wanted one place to browse everything, compare options, and get instant setup instructions.


Tech Stack

Built with simplicity in mind:

  • Frontend: Vite + Vanilla JS (no framework bloat)
  • Styling: CSS variables + dark theme
  • Data: Static JSON (602 addons, ~300KB)
  • Search: Fuse.js (fuzzy search)
  • Hosting: Cloudflare Pages (free, fast)
  • SEO: 654 pages (602 addon pages + 47 blog posts + 5 main pages)

Total bundle size: 37.6KB JS + 23.7KB CSS
