Common questions
Is Crates Io MCP 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 (1.0.8) reached the registry today.
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.

awesome-servers
One repo for three families of servers, each subtree keeping its own layout and tooling so it can still be built, run and published on its own.
| Subtree | What it holds | Run one |
|---|---|---|
mcp/ | 338 TypeScript MCP servers, plus 1107 published packages in published/ | cd mcp/servers/ && npm install && npm run build |
acp/ | 79 Python ACP agents | python3 acp/agents/ /agent.py |
a2a/ | 37 Python A2A servers plus the shared a2a_kit | python3 a2a/servers/ /server.py |
watchd/ | a threshold watcher that runs the feeds between editor sessions | python3 watchd/watchd.py --config conditions.json --loop |
site/ | the published site: registry with search, the public-feed atlas, watchd plans | https://mrfentmen.github.io/awesome-servers/ |
Most servers read public data with no key of their own; the ones wrapping a vendor API take that vendor's key. Nothing in this repo asks a caller to pay. On 2026-10-17 the licence machinery was removed for good: the per-tool src/license.ts gates are gone from the MCP servers, and the A2A and ACP trees no longer carry the hosted licence-gateway half — the skills that used it now answer with an explicit not-implemented stub. Nothing here asks a caller to pay, and nothing they run is refused with a buy link.
Nothing here is generated: each subtree's README says what its servers read, and every server has its own unit tests (mcp/servers/ /tests, acp/agents/ /tests, a2a/servers/ /tests) plus a live smoke check (tools/smoke*.py, a2a/tools/smoke_all.py).
Novel and original
Nearly all of this is first-of-its-kind work, not a port of an existing catalogue. Before each server or agent was built, it was checked against the official tool lists (the MCP registries, agentclientprotocol.com's agent list and registry) and a live GitHub search for the same domain, and the research logs record what was found and why it still counted as missing — see mcp/MISSING.md, acp/MISSING.md and a2a/docs/. Highlights:
- The MCP side holds TypeScript servers, one npm package each, and 1039 published packages under
published/; mcp/MISSING.md documents the check that preceded every build: what was searched, what was skipped and why the domain still counted as uncovered. - On the ACP side there were zero domain agents before this repo — every agent on the official list was a coding agent. These 79 Python agents are the first non-coding ACP agents, and several use protocol surfaces no other agent uses in production (
session/request_permissionfor dataset reads,fs/write_text_filefor a briefing file,session/cancelfor a conditional watch, image content blocks, a live SSE push feed), each proved-unused in the wild by search at build time. Two more firsts carry their own proof: theorchestratoris an agent whose feeds are *agents* — it spawns sibling repo agents as real ACP child processes and merges their answers — and thenycpack is the first multi-agency city surface. acp/MISSING.mddoubles as the public-feed atlas: every keyless feed probed live, with its date, what it answered and whether it still works. The published site renders that table at https://mrfentmen.github.io/awesome-servers/atlas.html.- The pattern across all three subtrees is the same thesis: wrap one real, keyless public dataset, answer honestly about what the feed did and did not say, and keep the whole thing small, tested and self-contained.
Publishing
- MCP servers publish from
mcp/servers/(its ownpackage.json, version and README). - ACP and A2A servers are repo-run today (Python, no packaging step).
Built on top of it
Creatures that use this corpus as their world live in the sibling repo mrfentmen/superagents (public, with its own claim-check in MISSING.md):
- polymath — routes your question to the most fitting agents of this repo, spawns each as a real ACP child process, and merges the answers into one brief with per-row citations; a sibling that fails appears as a named row, never silence. Its registry is a data file and its ranking is deterministic word-scoring, not a model opinion.
- sentry — one plain sentence ("watch air quality in Denver over 150") becomes a tracked watch: a permission-asked protocol write produces the conditions file this repo's
watchd/obeys unchanged, plus the activation lines. Checks it can author today: air thresholds, quake magnitudes within a radius, river gauges at flood stage. - fedora hat guy — the persona agent in his own repo
mrfentmen/fedora-hat: says "never miss" and means it — one sentence installs the full crown of watches (air + quakes, gauge-named flood) in one permissioned write, and your other questions are forwarded to the siblings above with every row cited. - instink — the instinct agent in his own repo
mrfentmen/instink: compiles a skill into a reflex — a matcher plus the answer it fires, with hit/miss counters and honest promotion/demotion. The skill doc stays one step away, never deleted. - contextink — the context agent in his own repo
mrfentmen/contextink: you say "do this" and it acquires the context from the repo, git, and recent files so you don't have to explain it; asks only the minimal high-information-gain questions when acquisition fails. - rewind — the replay agent in his own repo
mrfentmen/rewind: replays agent runs and mutates one variable to see what would have happened. Replay + mutate + diff for agent traces. - scopink — the scope agent in his own repo
mrfentmen/scopink: checks if an action is within the scope of what was asked. Detects scope creep in agent plans. - curious — the curiosity agent in his own repo
mrfentmen/curious: proactively seeks information it doesn't have. Scans for knowledge gaps, seeks answers, learns facts. - bored — the idle agent in his own repo
mrfentmen/bored: uses idle time productively. Consolidates memories, explores areas, prepares for tasks.
Point the polymath at a checkout of this repo with AWESOME_SERVERS_HOME=$PWD/awesome-servers and it federates across the two repos live.
Published snapshot (published/)
published/ holds one directory per npm package, byte-for-byte what the registry serves: 1039 packages, every version matching npm latest.
published/INDEX.mdis generated from the tree bypython3 scripts/index-published.py.scripts/sync-published-snapshot.pyre-downloads every package from npm; run it only when every local fix has been published, because it overwritesdist/from the tarballs.- One package carries a licence gate (
MCP_LICENSE_KEY):@mrfentmen/vg-resource-mcp. Another 495 still ship tools that answerNot yet implemented;published/INDEX.mdlists every one of them. - Every package links to this repo (
mrfentmen/awesome-servers) as its source.
servers/ holds the older per-server source that predates the snapshot. Where the two disagree, published/ is what users actually install.
