MCP support
MCP Charts is itself a hosted MCP server available over Streamable HTTP. Its read-only tools recommend, search, and retrieve catalog entries; they do not install or execute resources.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Cursor, VS Code, Cline, Windsurf and other mcp.json clients
{
"mcpServers": {

|---|---|---|
recommend_resources | Gives a ranked shortlist for a task. Keyword relevance comes before repository stars. | task, optional client, type, limit (1–8) |
search_resources | Searches keywords across all resource types, up to 24 results per page. | query, optional type, page |
get_resource | Returns compatibility evidence, freshness and the upstream setup link for one catalog entry. | id |

Example prompts
- "Find me an MCP server for querying Postgres from Claude Code."
- "What skills exist for writing Playwright tests?"
- "Recommend a plugin for reviewing pull requests in Cursor."
How the catalog works
The catalog is refreshed continuously from public sources, including the official MCP Registry. Repository stars and activity describe repositories, not individual resources. Client compatibility comes from manifests and registry declarations; MCP Charts doesn't run runtime tests. Check requirements such as "free" or "local-only" upstream before you install anything.
Requests are rate-limited and results are bounded.

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.
