GitHub MCP Server

89/100open sourceexplicit relation

GitHub MCP Server is the official Model Context Protocol server from GitHub that connects AI assistants to repositories, issues, pull requests, workflows, and code search. It exposes 100+ operations with toolset filtering, permission scoping, and audit logging, available in both remote-hosted and self-hosted Docker deployment modes.

Free and 100% open source under the MIT license. GitHub MCP Server has no licensing fees or subscription tiers; API operations run locally or via remote endpoints against standard GitHub account API rate limits.Review →

Context7

88/100open sourcefreemiumexplicit relation

Context7 is an MCP server developed by Upstash that injects up-to-date, version-specific documentation directly into AI code editors and coding assistants. By typing 'use context7' in prompts, developers get accurate library documentation instead of hallucinated or outdated API references. It pulls from official source documentation and serves it through the Model Context Protocol, solving the common problem of LLMs generating code with incorrect or nonexistent API calls.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for real-time, version-specific library documentation by Upstash. Free tier provides $0/mo for 1,000 monthly API calls on public open-source documentation. Pro tier starts at $10/seat/mo for 5,000+ API calls and private codebase/docs indexing. Enterprise tier provides custom pricing for self-hosted deployments, SAML SSO, SOC-2 compliance, and dedicated SLAs.Review →

Sourcebot

open sourceexplicit relation

Sourcebot is a self-hosted code intelligence platform that helps developers and AI agents understand large codebases through intelligent search, navigation, and inline-cited answers. Deployed as a Docker container with MCP server support, it indexes thousands of repositories without source code leaving your infrastructure.

Open-core self-hosted code search platform (MIT core). Basic tier is 100% free ($0) for self-hosted Zoekt trigram/regex search across GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket repos. Pro tier is $20/user/month (14-day free trial) adding 'Ask Sourcebot' natural language Q&A, Model Context Protocol (MCP) agent server, go-to-definition, find-references, SSO, and audit logs. Enterprise offers custom pricing for air-gapped deployments, custom MSAs, SLAs, and dedicated support.

MCP InspectorMCP Inspector is the official interactive developer tool from the Model Context Protocol team for testing, debugging, and validating MCP servers. It provides a visual interface to inspect available tools, test transport configurations, export configs for different clients, and verify protocol compliance during MCP server development.MCP-ScanMCP-Scan is a security tool that scans MCP servers for vulnerabilities including tool poisoning, prompt injection, cross-origin escalation, and rug pull attacks. Acquired by Snyk in 2026, it is the first dedicated security scanner for the MCP ecosystem. It analyzes tool descriptions, permissions, and behavior patterns to detect malicious or compromised MCP servers before they can exploit AI agents.GitDiagramVisual architecture generator that transforms any GitHub repository into an interactive system design map within seconds. Analyzes repository structures and README documentation to produce validated component flowcharts, dependency graphs, and Mermaid diagrams. Supports direct URL routing by replacing hub with diagram, provides instant export to SVG and PNG formats, and handles private repositories through user-supplied personal access tokens.MCP RegistryThe official, community-run registry for discovering and publishing Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers — an open index that MCP clients read to find available servers.ScalarScalar is an API documentation platform that generates beautiful, interactive API references from OpenAPI specifications. It provides a modern OpenAPI reference interface with dark mode, request examples in multiple languages, and a built-in API client. Available as open-source packages for any framework or as a hosted platform.FastGPTFastGPT is an open-source no-code AI knowledge base platform with 27,000+ GitHub stars and 500,000+ users worldwide. It combines visual workflow orchestration, built-in RAG pipelines, QA-pair extraction, and API-aligned completions into a single deployable stack that runs on just 2GB RAM via Docker one-liner deployment.ObsidianKnowledge management app based on local Markdown files with powerful linking and graph visualization. Bidirectional links, graph view, canvas for spatial thinking, templates, daily notes, and 5,000+ community plugins. All data is stored as plain .md files with no vendor lock-in. Custom themes, Vim mode, and Dataview support database-like queries. Sync and Publish are paid add-ons; the core app remains free for personal use.chrome-devtools-mcpchrome-devtools-mcp is the Chrome DevTools team's official MCP server that lets coding agents control and inspect a live Chrome browser with first-party Chrome DevTools Protocol fidelity. It exposes Network inspection, Performance traces, Lighthouse audits, console output, and structured DOM snapshots as typed MCP tools, so agents can debug real pages and ship reliable web performance investigations without resorting to brittle DOM scraping.Docker MCP GatewayDocker MCP Gateway is Docker's open-source orchestration layer for Model Context Protocol servers. It gives MCP clients one gateway, launches catalog servers in isolated containers on demand, injects credentials, applies runtime restrictions, and routes tool requests. Catalogs and profiles let teams reuse approved server collections across clients, while Docker Desktop can run the gateway automatically with MCP Toolkit enabled.
