Common questions

Is Plug and Ship 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 in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.0) reached the registry 22 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Context7, Codebase Memory, Exa

README from the maker

Open the README

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

plugandship-mcp

An MCP server for Plug and Ship. It lets your coding agent search the Plug and Ship index of MCP servers, agent skills and coding-agent plugins without leaving the chat.

It is read-only. It calls the public Plug and Ship API (/api/v1) and needs no API key.

Listed in the official MCP Registry as dev.plugandship/plugandship-mcp.

Tools

Tool	Arguments	What it returns
`search_tools`	`query` or `task` (keywords or a plain-language task, e.g. "query my Postgres from Cursor"), `type?` (`mcp` / `skill` / `plugin`), `client?` (`claude-code` / `cursor` / `codex` / `grok-bot`), `remote?` (only MCP servers with a public HTTPS endpoint), `limit?` (1 to 50, default 10)	Tools ranked by relevance (full-text + semantic match; stars, recent commits, a valid one-click config and a license only break ties), each with a one-line reason it matches, install command and page link. Also returns structured output, including what was understood from the task. `client: "grok-bot"` keeps only MCP servers with a public remote (HTTP) endpoint.
`get_tool`	`slug`	Full details for one tool: description, repo, stars, tags, install command, remote endpoint if any.
`trending`	`period` (`day` / `week` / `month`), `type?`, `limit?`	Fastest-growing tools: stars gained in the period, from Plug and Ship's own daily star snapshots.
`list_best`	`topic?`, `limit?`	A curated "best of" list. Leave `topic` empty to list topics (for example `grok-bot-connectors`, `voice-agents`, `postgres-mcp-servers`).

Use the hosted endpoint (no install)

Remote MCP server, Streamable HTTP, stateless, no auth:

https://plugandship.dev/mcp

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http plugandship https://plugandship.dev/mcp

Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json or .cursor/mcp.json in a project)

"mcpServers": { "plugandship": { "url": "https://plugandship.dev/mcp" } } }

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.plugandship]

url = "https://plugandship.dev/mcp"

Run it locally (stdio)

Requires Node.js 18 or newer. Runs straight from GitHub, no npm package needed (the built dist/ is committed):

npx -y github:plugandship/plugandship-mcp

Claude Code

claude mcp add plugandship -- npx -y github:plugandship/plugandship-mcp

Cursor

"mcpServers": { "plugandship": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "github:plugandship/plugandship-mcp"] } } }

Codex

[mcp_servers.plugandship]

command = "npx" args = ["-y", "github:plugandship/plugandship-mcp"]

From a checkout

git clone https://github.com/plugandship/plugandship-mcp

cd plugandship-mcp npm install npm run build node dist/index.js

Self-host Streamable HTTP

node dist/index.js --http --port 3333 --host 127.0.0.1

endpoint: http://127.0.0.1:3333/mcp

Stateless, JSON responses, POST only. Requests with a browser Origin other than localhost are rejected. It binds to 127.0.0.1 by default. Put it behind HTTPS before exposing it anywhere.

Configuration

Env var	Default	Purpose
`PLUGANDSHIP_API_URL`	`https://plugandship.dev`	API base URL (use `http://localhost:3000` against a local site).

The public API is cached and rate-limited (about 60 requests per minute per IP). On a 429 the tool returns a short "try again in a minute" error.

Test

npm test                                            # stdio + local HTTP, against https://plugandship.dev

PLUGANDSHIP_API_URL=http://localhost:3000 npm test # against a local site MCP_REMOTE_URL=https://plugandship.dev/mcp npm run test:remote # the hosted endpoint

npm test builds the server, starts it over stdio and over Streamable HTTP, connects with the official MCP SDK client, lists the tools and calls each one, including error cases (unknown slug, invalid input, foreign Origin). test:remote runs the same checks against a remote endpoint.

Registry

server.json is the MCP Registry entry: a remote-only listing (streamable-http, https://plugandship.dev/mcp) under the dev.plugandship namespace, verified by DNS.
