FAQPage Schema
How do I find MCP servers for a specific use case?▼

Browse the Awesome MCP Servers repository by category such as databases, file systems, or cloud platforms, or search the Full-List-of-MCP-Servers.xlsx file. Official implementations are marked with a star and should be preferred for security.

How do I install an MCP server in Claude Desktop?▼

Install the server package via npm or mcp-get, then add an entry to claude_desktop_config.json under mcpServers with the command, args, and any required environment variables. Restart Claude Desktop for the server to appear.

What is the difference between official and community MCP servers?▼

Official servers are vendor-maintained implementations marked with a star in the list, while community servers are built by third parties. Official implementations are recommended because community servers can execute arbitrary code with your user permissions.

Why is my MCP server not appearing in Claude Desktop?▼

Check the config JSON syntax with jq, verify the server runs standalone via npx, confirm environment variables are set, and fully restart Claude Desktop. Adding verbose logging to the server args helps diagnose failures.

Are MCP servers safe to install?▼

MCP servers can execute code with your user permissions and access files, network, and system resources. Review the source code before installing, prefer official implementations, limit filesystem scope, and consider running servers in isolated containers.
