About MCP Finder Server
MCP Finder Server lets AI models search the implementations listed in the awesome-mcp-servers repository. It is suited to finding servers by text or tags and controlling the result count.
Key features
- 01Search by name, description, or tags
- 02Filter by tags
- 03Set result limit
Use cases
- 01Find servers by programming language or OS
- 02Browse implementations matching a text query
MCP support
It exposes the `find-mcp-servers` tool to MCP clients for searching the awesome-mcp-servers catalog.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
