Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Search 344 human-reviewed AI/agent repos and the 817 typed connections between them.

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": {
    "stackmap": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@ship-with-ai/stackmap-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add stackmap -- npx -y @ship-with-ai/stackmap-mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stackmap": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@ship-with-ai/stackmap-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": {
    "stackmap": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@ship-with-ai/stackmap-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 7231 servers in this category
  • Published to the registry more recently than 37% of the other 7231 servers in this category
  • Basic checks equal to or better than 100% of the other 7231 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 StackMap 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?

Context7

README from the maker

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.

@ship-with-ai/stackmap-mcp

Query [StackMap](https://stackmap.shipwithai.xyz) — the curated map of the open-source AI stack — from any MCP client. 344 repos across 21 topics, 817 connections, every one typed (complements / alternative / built_with) and human-reviewed, with the *why* written down — including when NOT to use a tool.

No auth. No state. No telemetry. Reads the site's static JSON API; the catalog is date-versioned (v2026.07.24 style) so you always know how fresh the map is.

Install

Claude Code

claude mcp add stackmap -- npx -y @ship-with-ai/stackmap-mcp

Cursor — .cursor/mcp.json:

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

Codex CLI — ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.stackmap]

command = "npx" args = ["-y", "stackmap-mcp"]

Tools

ToolWhat it answers
search_catalog"What's on the map for *local voice transcription*?"
get_repo"Tell me about langgraph — including when NOT to use it."
get_alternatives"What replaces crewai, and when do I pick which?"
continue_stack"I use langgraph + chroma — what pairs well next?"
build_stack"Build me a starter stack for a local-first RAG pipeline over PDFs."

Every answer carries the curator's written why — the sentence a colleague would tell you over your shoulder, not a link dump.

How the data is made

Nothing on the map auto-publishes: an LLM proposes, a human approves, sharpens, or refuses — and both the refusal ledger and the dismissal ledger are public. Suggest a repo at /suggest; dispute any edge from its repo page.
