Our assessment of awesome-mcp-servers

awesome-mcp-servers scores 73/100 on our quality scale, 3732nd of 4,614 Development & Engineering skills we index.

Its MCP Server is 61 KB long, well organised into 39 sections and no code examples: long enough that it reads more like full documentation than a focused instruction file, which agents can find harder to follow.

With 5,824 GitHub stars, it is one of the more widely adopted skills in the catalogue.

Maintenance, license and trust

  • The repository was last updated about 6 months ago. That is recent enough to be usable, but agent tooling moves fast, so check the instructions against your agent's current version.
  • Our last check on 2026-10-17 found the source still online.
  • No license is declared. By default that means all rights are reserved: you can read it, but reusing or redistributing it is not clearly permitted. Ask the author before building on it commercially.
  • Its trust signals score 77/100, with 3 cautions from licensing, adoption, age or documentation. These come from repository metadata, not a code audit — read the skill file before letting an agent act on it.

Safety scan

No issues found

Our scan of the whole file found no instruction hijacking, hidden characters, credential access, data exfiltration or destructive commands. An AI review of the same text found nothing harmful.

AI review by kimi-k2.7-code on 2026-09-24. Automated pattern scan on 2026-09-24. It catches known dangerous patterns, not every risk — read a skill before letting an agent act on it.

Awesome MCP Servers Awesome

A curated list of awesome Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. MCP is an open protocol that enables AI models to securely interact with local and remote resources through standardized server implementations. This list focuses on production-ready and experimental MCP servers that extend AI capabilities through file access, database connections, API integrations, and other contextual services.

<br />

⚠️ Security Warning

[!WARNING] When running MCP servers without proper sandboxing, they can execute arbitrary code on your system with the same permissions as the host process. This creates significant security risks.

Security Risks:

  • System Access: Full access to files, network, and system resources
  • Code Execution: Can run any command on your machine
  • Prompt Injection: Malicious prompts could trigger unintended server actions
  • Data Exposure: Sensitive data may be accessed or leaked

Best Practices:

  • Use official implementations (marked with ⭐) when available
  • Run servers in VMs or isolated environments
  • Review code before installation
  • Limit permissions to minimum required
  • Monitor server activity
