Each page on appsgit lists the environment variables a MCP server expects. ### Which AI clients work with these MCP servers? Claude Code (all), Cursor (all), VS Code (all) and Claude Desktop (9 of 10). The client list comes from each project's published transport and package data; appsgit does not guess it. ### Are any of these MCP servers official? Yes: Kaneo is published by the vendor itself. ### How do I install an MCP server? Local servers run as a command such as npx, uvx or docker run that you add to your client's MCP configuration; remote servers only need their URL. Every server page on appsgit has ready-made snippets for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. ## Related questions - [What are the best MCP servers for cloud and DevOps?](https://appsgit.com/best/mcp-servers-for-cloud-devops) - [What are the best MCP servers for data and analytics?](https://appsgit.com/best/mcp-servers-for-data-analytics) - [What are the best MCP servers for communication?](https://appsgit.com/best/mcp-servers-for-communication) - [What are the best MCP servers for finance?](https://appsgit.com/best/mcp-servers-for-finance) - [What are the best MCP servers for AI search and memory?](https://appsgit.com/best/mcp-servers-for-ai-search-memory) - [What are the best agent skills for coding?](https://appsgit.com/best/agent-skills-for-coding) - [What are the best agent skills for testing and QA?](https://appsgit.com/best/agent-skills-for-testing-qa) - [What are the best agent skills for docs and writing?](https://appsgit.com/best/agent-skills-for-docs-writing) ## See also - [Productivity MCP servers](https://appsgit.com/mcp-servers/category/productivity) - [All MCP servers](https://appsgit.com/mcp-servers) - [Trending MCP servers](https://appsgit.com/mcp-servers/trending) - [Official MCP servers](https://appsgit.com/mcp-servers/official) --- Canonical page: https://appsgit.com/best/mcp-servers-for-productivity Source: appsgit (https://appsgit.com), the app store for github.
