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 (6 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: Browser Use, CCXT and Playwright MCP and 7 more are published by the vendor themselves. ### 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 - [Which MCP servers are trending right now?](https://appsgit.com/best/trending-mcp-servers) - [What are the best Claude Code skills?](https://appsgit.com/best/claude-code-skills) - [What are the best agent skills for OpenAI Codex?](https://appsgit.com/best/skills-for-codex) - [Which agent skills are trending right now?](https://appsgit.com/best/trending-skills) - [What are the best open source AI agents and agent frameworks?](https://appsgit.com/best/open-source-ai-agents) - [What are the best tools to run an LLM locally?](https://appsgit.com/best/local-llm) - [What are the best MCP servers for databases?](https://appsgit.com/best/mcp-servers-for-databases) - [What are the best MCP servers for developer tools?](https://appsgit.com/best/mcp-servers-for-developer-tools) ## See also - [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/official-mcp-servers Source: appsgit (https://appsgit.com), the app store for github.
