MCP Server Discovery
This skill helps you discover and manage MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers.
What is MCP?
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI systems to connect with external data sources and tools. It provides a standardized way for AI assistants to access files, databases, APIs, and other resources.
Available Commands
Use the scripts/mcp_discover.py script for all MCP operations:
List Available Servers
python3 scripts/mcp_discover.py list
Filter by category:
python3 scripts/mcp_discover.py list --category database
Categories: filesystem, dev, database, web, search, memory
Search for Servers
python3 scripts/mcp_discover.py search --query "database"
Get Server Details
python3 scripts/mcp_discover.py info --name postgres
Generate MCP Client Configuration
python3 scripts/mcp_discover.py config --servers "filesystem,github,memory"
Common Workflows
Setting up a new MCP client
- List available servers to see options
- Select the servers you need
- Generate configuration with those servers
- Save the output to your MCP client's config file
Finding the right server
- Use
search with keywords related to your need
- Use
info to get detailed information about a specific server
- Check the install command and URL for setup instructions
Server Categories
- filesystem: File system access and management
- dev: Development tools and integrations (GitHub, etc.)
- database: Database connections (PostgreSQL, SQLite)
- web: Web scraping and content fetching
- search: Search engine integrations
- memory: Persistent memory and knowledge graph
JSON Output
All commands support --json flag for programmatic use:
python3 scripts/mcp_discover.py list --json
