Fetch

Web content fetching and conversion for efficient LLM usage.

Filesystem

Secure file operations with configurable access controls.

Git

Tools to read, search, and manipulate Git repositories.

Memory

Knowledge graph-based persistent memory system.

Sequential Thinking

Dynamic and reflective problem-solving through thought sequences.

Time and timezone conversion capabilities.

Archived Examples: Visit the servers-archived repository for older examples provided for historical reference.

Official Integrations

Maintained by companies for their platforms. See the Official Integrations list.

Community Implementations

Maintained by the broader community. See the Community Servers list.

Getting Started

Using Reference Servers

TypeScript (via npx):

npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-memory

Python (via uvx or pip):

# Using uvx
uvx mcp-server-git

# Using pip
pip install mcp-server-git
python -m mcp_server_git

Configuring with Claude

Add servers to your Claude configuration file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "memory": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-memory"]
    },
    "filesystem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem",
        "/path/to/allowed/files"
      ]
    },
    "github": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-github"],
      "env": {
        "GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "<YOUR_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
