FAQ
What is the best MCP server?
It depends on the job. By tracked GitHub stars, the leaders on this page are MCP Toolbox for Databases for databases, Apify MCP Server for web search and scraping, Codebase Memory MCP for GitHub, issues and CI, OneUptime MCP for monitoring and incidents. Pick the task first, then compare two or three servers.
How are these MCP servers ranked?
Within each task, by the GitHub stars recorded on each listing, then visitor star ratings, then the most recent code push, then listing maturity. No paid placements.
Why do some tasks not have their own page?
We only build a task page when at least 5 solid MCP servers in our directory do that job and no other AgentScout page already covers the same list. Docs, cloud and design already have focused pages, and payments has fewer than 5 servers, so they're listed here instead.
How many MCP servers does AgentScout list?
230 in the MCP servers category, each with a link-checked listing. This page covers 116 of them, grouped by task.
