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.FigmaFigma is the industry-standard collaborative design platform for UI/UX work, prototyping, and design systems. Runs in the browser with real-time multiplayer editing, components, auto-layout, variants, dev mode, plugins, and FigJam whiteboards. Integrates with AI design-to-code tools like Lovable, v0, Builder.io, and Anima to turn frames into production React, Vue, or iOS/Android code.GradioGradio is a 42K+ star Apache-2.0 Python library for building interactive web interfaces around machine-learning functions and apps. It supports 40+ components for text, images, audio, video, 3D, chat, plots, JSON, and dataframes. Apps can be hosted free on Hugging Face Spaces, shared through public links, or extended with server-side rendering, streaming, API clients, and MCP server support.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.GitHub MCP ServerGitHub 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.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.Context7Context7 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 By typing 'use context7' in prompts, developers get accurate library documentation instead of hallucinated or outdated API references.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.Magic PatternsMagic Patterns turns product ideas, prompts, screenshots, and existing UI into editable, code-ready interfaces. Its design-system-aware editor supports collaborative iteration, two-way GitHub sync, and an MCP workflow for moving designs between the canvas and coding agents—positioning it between prompt-to-app builders and design-handoff tools rather than as a single-screen generator.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.
