MCPhq

MCPhq is the definitive, continuously updated directory for the Model Context Protocol ecosystem, offering a comprehensive and navigable landscape of over 20,000 maintained servers. Whether you are a developer just starting out or a team scaling complex AI workflows, MCPhq organizes the entire universe of MCP servers by what you are actually building, ranked by real-world installs. The platform is designed for immediate action, providing ready-to-copy install configs for every listed server, eliminating the guesswork from setup and letting you focus on integration and development.

At the heart of MCPhq is a robust ranking system that prioritizes both adoption and maintenance, ensuring that the best picks always surface first. The data is refreshed nightly, giving you a true picture of what is built, what is used, and what is currently shipping. The directory’s homepage offers a snapshot of the hottest categories and top performers, such as the Playwright MCP server leading the charts with over 25 million installs per month, alongside other critical tools like Edgar Tools, Snyk MCP Server, and Firecrawl. With categories ranging from Browser Automation and Codebase Memory to specialized integrations like Azure MCP Server and Dynatrace MCP, the platform tracks thousands of servers across every niche.

Explore the Ecosystem by Category

MCPhq makes discovery effortless by breaking down the landscape into distinct, ranked categories. Each category is tracked by adoption and maintenance scores, ensuring you see the most reliable and widely-used options first. For instance, you can dive into categories with hundreds of tracked servers, each with a clear "best" pick, such as Comfyui MCP for creative workflows, Basic Memory for persistent knowledge, or Mapbox MCP Server for geospatial tasks. The platform also allows you to filter by language and deployment type—including TypeScript, Python, Go, and Rust servers, as well as remote, open-source, and Docker-based solutions—making it easy to find a server that matches your technical stack.

Top-Ranked Servers with Live Insights

Understanding what works in production is critical, and MCPhq provides transparent metrics for every top-ranked server. You can see live download counts, GitHub stars, and the latest commit dates, offering a clear view of a project’s health and momentum. For example, you can compare the Chrome DevTools MCP against Playwright MCP or examine the capabilities of specialized tools like the SEC EDGAR toolkit or the Firebase MCP server. The platform also highlights emerging tools like Agent Device for debugging real devices and Storybook MCP Addon for automated UI testing, complete with direct comparisons to help you choose the right tool for your specific requirements.

What is an MCP Server?
For those new to the ecosystem, an MCP server is a small program that grants an AI assistant a specific capability, such as querying a database, controlling a browser, or reading files. Your AI client—whether Claude Desktop, Cursor, or VS Code—connects to it via the Model Context Protocol. MCPhq demystifies this process, offering a plain-English starting point and a ranked list of the most-used categories to guide your first steps.
