  • Curated list of popular MCP servers based on real usage data. - Detailed descriptions of each server's functionality and use cases. - Links to access and utilize each MCP server directly.
  1. Integrating AI tools with data sources for enhanced functionality.
  2. Utilizing specific MCP servers for tasks like web research, task management, and database operations.
  3. Exploring various MCP servers for different programming and automation needs.

Add to your AI client

Use these steps to connect Most Popular Model Context Protocol (MCP) Servers in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "popular-mcp-servers-pedrojaques99": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-popular-mcp-servers-pedrojaques99"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "popular-mcp-servers-pedrojaques99": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-popular-mcp-servers-pedrojaques99"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "popular-mcp-servers-pedrojaques99": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-popular-mcp-servers-pedrojaques99"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "popular-mcp-servers-pedrojaques99": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-popular-mcp-servers-pedrojaques99"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "popular-mcp-servers-pedrojaques99": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-popular-mcp-servers-pedrojaques99"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "popular-mcp-servers-pedrojaques99": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-popular-mcp-servers-pedrojaques99"
      ]
    }
  }
}
