How Socketlist works

Socketlist is a directory of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers: the connectors that let AI assistants use tools and data. Thousands exist; we help you pick ones that look maintained and well run.

We collect

We read every entry in the official MCP Registry and look up the public GitHub repository and npm package behind it.

We score

Each server gets 0–100 for maintenance, security hygiene and adoption from public signals. See the method.

We publish

Servers that clear the bar get a page with their score, flags, install command and alternatives. Currently 4,330 servers, refreshed October 15, 2026.

Using the directory

Search by name or purpose and filter by category, score, licence or remote support.
Browse categories for ranked lists.
Open a server page and check the flags, then use the alternatives page to compare similar servers.
Weekly picks arrive free in The Plug Weekly.

Is my server listed?

Use search. If it is missing, it is probably not in the official registry, has no public GitHub repository, or scores under 70. See how to submit or claim a listing.

Paid placements

Server makers can pay for a featured listing. Placements are always labelled "Featured" or "Sponsored" and never change a server's score or rank in the organic results.

What Socketlist is not

It is not a security audit, endorsement or guarantee. Scores are automated signals from public data. Review any server before connecting it to real systems. Questions? Read the FAQ or contact us.
