Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Search evidence-labelled MCP servers with freshness, install, compatibility and verification data.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Search & AI memory

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcpvault": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcpvault-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add mcpvault -- npx -y mcpvault-mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcpvault": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcpvault-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "mcpvault": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcpvault-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

  • Published to the registry more recently than 35% of the other 5679 servers in this category

Common questions

Is MCPVault safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.2.2) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

No installation required. Run directly with npx:

npx -y mcpvault-mcp

Or install globally:

npm install -g mcpvault-mcp

  • "What MCP servers are available for file system access?"

get_mcp_server

Retrieve full details for a specific server by its MCPVault slug.

Parameters:

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
slugstringYesMCPVault slug visible in the listing URL: mcpvault.io/servers/

Returns: name, description, grade, status, verification date, GitHub repo, stars, license, client compatibility, topics, tool list, and listing URL.

Example prompts:

  • "Get details for the github MCP server"
  • "What clients does the postgres-mcp server support?"

get_install_command

Get the install command for a specific MCP server.

Parameters:

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
slugstringYesMCPVault slug for the server

Returns the recorded install command and a link to the listing page. If no install command is on record, points to the listing for manual setup instructions.

Example prompts:

  • "How do I install the github MCP server?"
  • "What is the install command for filesystem-mcp?"

submit_mcp_server

Submit a GitHub repository to MCPVault as a new MCP server listing. If you find an MCP server on GitHub that is not yet in MCPVault, use this tool to add it. The repository is validated against the MCPVault plausibility gate (the repo name, description, or topics must mention "mcp" or "model context protocol"). Rate limited to 5 submissions per client per day.

Parameters:

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
repo_urlstringYesFull GitHub repository URL, e.g. https://github.com/owner/repo

Responses:

  • Submitted successfully: returns the listing URL and a note that the owner can claim it at mcpvault.io/claim.
  • Already listed: returns the existing listing URL.
  • Not an MCP server: explains what the plausibility gate checks.
  • Rate limited: try again tomorrow.

Example prompts:

  • "If you find an MCP server on GitHub that is not in MCPVault, submit it"
  • "Submit https://github.com/owner/my-mcp-server to MCPVault"
  • "Add this MCP server to MCPVault: https://github.com/owner/repo"

Evidence and limitations

  • verified means MCPVault completed a live MCP handshake at the recorded time. It is not a security audit.
  • Grades summarize repository activity, maintenance, documentation, and reliability signals. They are not sold and do not guarantee safety.
  • stale means the maintainer has not claimed the imported record. It does not mean the software is abandoned.
  • Install commands and compatibility data come from public metadata and maintainer edits. Review the linked repository before running third-party code.
  • This server sends search and submission requests to https://mcpvault.io. It does not read local files, credentials, prompts, or client conversations.

Support and security

For usage help, open an issue or contact hello@mcpvault.io. For a security concern, do not include secrets in a public issue. Email the same address with SECURITY in the subject.

See CHANGELOG.md for release notes.

About MCPVault

MCPVault is an independent directory of more than 18,000 MCP server records. Public evidence is labelled by source and timestamp. Claimed records are maintainer-controlled; verified records have passed a live MCP handshake.
