Model Context Protocol Reference Servers

What it is

This repository is a collection of reference implementations for the Model Context Protocol (MCP), as well as references to community-built servers and additional resources. [!IMPORTANT] If you are looking for a list of MCP servers, you can browse published servers on the MCP Registry. The repository served by this README is dedicated to housing just the small number of reference servers maintained by the MCP steering group.

When to use it

Reach for servers when you want Claude, Cursor or any MCP client to reach a new tool, API or data source — it's written in TypeScript and fits stacks tagged mcp.
