MCPExplorer tools (14)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts
  • check_trustFree

    Return the explainable trust score, label, scoring reasons, and verification history for an MCP server.

  • compare_serversFree

    Compare two MCP servers side by side: trust, transport, tools, install, and links.

  • generate_runtime_configFree

    Generate the install + client config for an MCP server in a given runtime (claude-desktop, cursor, vscode, windsurf, cline, continue, goose, openai-agents, langgraph, crewai).

  • get_alternativesFree

    Find verified MCP servers with the same capabilities as a given server, ranked by trust.

  • get_capabilityFree

    List the best MCP servers that provide a capability (e.g. 'send-email', 'web-search'), ranked by trust.

  • get_ecosystem_statsFree

    Live snapshot of the indexed MCP ecosystem: totals (servers, tools, handshake-verified), provenance and transport breakdowns, and the current top-trust / most-adopted / newest / biggest-trust-riser servers.

  • get_loadoutFree

    Fetch one curated loadout: its servers (each with role + LIVE trust/transport/tool-risk from the index), an aggregated governance posture for the whole kit, and the plays (see→decide→act sequences) it's designed to run.

  • get_serverFree

    Fetch the full record for one MCP server by slug: install methods, tools, trust, verification, and provenance.

  • list_capabilitiesFree

    List the capability slugs an agent can filter or look up by (e.g. 'send-email', 'query-database'), most-populated first. Use these with get_capability or search_servers' capability filter — the taxonomy isn't guessable.

  • list_loadoutsFree

    List curated loadouts — deliberately-assembled kits of MCP servers + governance + plays for a specific job (GTM, coding, research, support, infra). The agent-facing version of the /loadouts product. Use get_loadout for the full kit with live trust.

  • list_runtimesFree

    List the runtimes generate_runtime_config supports (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, agent frameworks, …), with each one's config path. Enumerate these instead of guessing runtime slugs.

  • plan_toolsetFree

    Turn a plain-language goal into a recommended, governed toolset: the best-fit curated loadout (matched transparently by goal terms) plus an assembled set of the most relevant indexed servers, each with LIVE trust and tool-risk, and an aggregate governance posture for the kit. The decision layer over search/capability/trust/loadouts.

  • report_broken_serverFree

    Report that an MCP server's install, docs, or endpoint is broken. Creates a submission for editorial review.

  • search_serversFree

    Search the MCPExplorer index of MCP servers by free text and filters. Omit `query` to browse the whole index ranked by trust score. Every filter either applies or is echoed back in `ignored_filters` with a reason — filters never silently do nothing.

What the publisher says

From the MCPExplorer repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

MCPExplorer

The search engine and trust layer for MCP servers.

→ mcpexplorer.com

MCPExplorer indexes Model Context Protocol servers and verifies each one with a live handshake — so you can see the real tools a server exposes, each labeled by risk, plus a trust score, before you install it.

Every "awesome MCP" list is a static, unverified README. MCPExplorer actually

runs the servers.

This repo is the public home for MCPExplorer's docs and its MCP server manifest. The product itself lives at mcpexplorer.com.

The problem

As the MCP ecosystem grew past thousands of servers, the lists stopped being useful. From a name and a one-line description you can't tell:

  • what tools a server actually exposes,
  • whether those tools are read-only or can delete your data,
  • whether it needs credentials,
  • or whether it's still maintained —

until you install it and hope.

What MCPExplorer does

every server — remote servers over the network, local/stdio servers in a hardened, ephemeral Docker sandbox — and extracts the true tool surface.

  • Verifies, doesn't just list. It runs the real MCP tools/list handshake on

know what a server can do before you connect it.

  • Labels tool risk. Every tool is tagged read / write / destructive, so you

and freshness — with every contributing factor shown on the page, not a black box.

  • Scores trust. A deterministic score from provenance, verification, adoption,
  • Stays fresh. Every fact carries provenance and a "last checked" timestamp.

Currently ~1,000 servers indexed · 3,500+ tools extracted · 278 handshake-verified.

The MCPExplorer MCP server

MCPExplorer exposes its own MCP server, so you can search, vet, and assemble servers from inside your agent — without leaving your client. Hand plan_toolset a plain-language goal and get back a recommended, governed toolset.

Endpoint: https://mcpexplorer.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no auth)

Add it to Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http mcpexplorer https://mcpexplorer.com/mcp

Or add it to any MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcpexplorer": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://mcpexplorer.com/mcp"
