Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Search a directory of software an agent can adapt or operate, by need, license or interface.

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

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add mothermachine -- npx -y mothermachine mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mothermachine": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mothermachine",
        "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": {
    "mothermachine": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mothermachine",
        "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.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Runs on your computer; the tool list appears in your AI app after you install it.

Compared with others in Search & AI memoryi

  • More stars than 0% of the other 5692 servers in this category
  • Published to the registry more recently than 94% of the other 5692 servers in this category
  • Basic checks equal to or better than 100% of the other 5692 servers in this category

Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.

Common questions

Is mothermachine 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 (1.1.1) reached the registry 3 days 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?

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.

mothermachine skill

Search mothermachine.ai, a directory of software an agent can adapt or operate, from a coding agent or an MCP client. This repository is generated from the private source repository on every change to the skill; do not edit it here. More for agents is on the site: https://mothermachine.ai/agents.html

Try it

Ask your agent in your own words:

  • "Is there an open source Calendly alternative I can self-host?"
  • "Before I build this, what's out there for invoicing for a freelancer?"
  • "Find a CRM my coding agent can drive over MCP."

Each answer gives the repo, the install command, how much is yours to change, and what an agent can and can't do with it.

Run it

With Node 18 or later, nothing to install:

npx mothermachine "invoicing for a freelancer"

Install the skill

With the skills CLI, into every agent it knows about:

npx skills add Ramp-Jet/mothermachine-skill

Or straight from the site, with no CLI, into Claude Code's skills folder:

for f in SKILL.md scripts/search.mjs scripts/mcp.mjs; do curl -fsSL --create-dirs -o ~/.claude/skills/mothermachine/$f https://mothermachine.ai/skills/mothermachine/$f; done

Then /mothermachine searches the directory from the chat.

MCP server

scripts/mcp.mjs is the same search as an MCP server over stdio, with three read-only tools: search, listing, vocab. No dependencies; Node 18 or later.

claude mcp add mothermachine -- npx -y mothermachine mcp

The official MCP Registry lists it as io.github.Ramp-Jet/mothermachine.

If you installed the skill, the server is already on disk:

claude mcp add mothermachine -- node ~/.claude/skills/mothermachine/scripts/mcp.mjs

What it fetches

The skill and the MCP server read the search index and other public JSON files from https://mothermachine.ai. The search runs on your machine, so your search words are not sent. Those requests reach the site's host like any page visit, which the privacy page covers. Neither one writes files or sends telemetry. They run only the scripts in this repository, with Node 18 or later.

If something goes wrong

  • mothermachine search failed: fetch failed means the site could not be reached. Check that your machine or sandbox allows network access to mothermachine.ai.
  • A script that will not start usually means an older Node. Run node --version; it needs Node 18 or later.
  • No matches? Try fewer words, or the name of the product you want to replace. --vocab lists every filter value.
  • MCP tools missing? Restart the client, then check that it lists the mothermachine server.

Support and security

What is here

  • SKILL.md: the skill, read by the agent.
  • scripts/search.mjs: the search over the site's index/search.json, also a command line.
  • scripts/mcp.mjs: the MCP server over the same search.
  • scripts/cli.mjs and package.json: the mothermachine command on npm, which runs the two scripts above.
  • scripts/*.test.mjs: tests, run with node --test.
  • .claude-plugin/plugin.json and .mcp.json: the Claude plugin, which is this whole folder.
  • server.json: the listing on the MCP Registry.
  • .github/workflows/: release.yml publishes a new version to npm, and mcp-registry.yml lists it on the MCP Registry.
  • LICENSE: MIT, the same as the source repository.

Everything reads the live site, so an installed copy never goes stale on data; reinstall to pick up changes to the scripts.
