## How this list was made

- Ranked by average stars per day since the repository was created (a launch-growth proxy), because not enough servers have a week of star history yet.
- At most one entry per repository.
- The catalog itself only lists MCP servers with a GitHub repository, a recognised open-source license, a commit in the last six months and an install path (a package or a remote URL).

## FAQ

### Do these MCP servers need an API key?

1 of the 10 picks need an API key or token, for example Claude Flow; 9 run without one. 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: Appllama and Browser Use 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.
