MCP Servers by Use Case & Platform

Most people do not need “an MCP server” — they need one for a job: scraping a website, remembering context, querying Postgres, running Kubernetes. These 39 guides collect the servers in our directory that genuinely do each job, ranked by GitHub stars, with notes on how to choose between them.

AI & Agents

Development & Code

MCP Servers for Testing & QA

Servers that let AI clients test software instead of just writing it: Firefox DevTools for browser-level debugging and test runs, mobile-mcp and Auto-Mobile for driving real mobile apps, EvalView for evaluating LLM outputs, and a11ymcp for accessibility checks.

MCP Servers for GitHub

GitHub through MCP starts with GitHub's official server (issues, PRs, Actions, code search), with OctoCode for deep code research across repos, git-mcp for turning any repository into queryable context, and Git Ingest for summarizing a codebase into a single prompt-friendly digest.

Data & Databases

MCP Servers for Web Scraping

These servers turn websites into clean, structured data your AI client can actually use. Apify's Actors server plugs into a marketplace of ready-made scrapers, Bright Data brings enterprise-grade proxy infrastructure, and Webclaw and the Apify RAG Web Browser focus on pulling readable Markdown out of arbitrary pages.

MCP Servers for Data Analysis & Visualization

Chart and analytics servers that let an AI client query, summarize, and visualize data instead of just talking about it. AntV and ECharts generate real charts, Vizro (from McKinsey) builds dashboards, Semiotic covers interactive data visualization components, and the Excel servers bring spreadsheet data into the loop.

MCP Servers for Health & Fitness Data

MCP servers that connect AI clients to health and fitness data: Strava workouts, Apple Health exports, TrainingPeaks training data, and FHIR-based medical records through the WSO2 and The Momentum servers. Medical MCP adds drug and clinical reference lookups.

MCP Servers for SQLite

SQLite is the default local database for MCP itself, and these servers expose it properly: the hosted SQLite listing, a dedicated SQLite server, and multi-database tools (AnyQuery, Alchemy, Legion) that treat SQLite as a first-class source.

MCP Servers for NoSQL Databases (MongoDB, Redis, Firestore)

Document, key-value, and realtime stores: three MongoDB servers (including MongoDB Lens for exploration), the official Redis server for Redis and Redis Stack, and Firebase MCP for Firestore and the rest of the Firebase platform.

MCP Servers for Data Warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, DuckDB)

Cloud analytics platforms through MCP: two Snowflake servers, two BigQuery servers, DuckDB for local OLAP, and gateways like Centralmind and Legion that put warehouses behind the same endpoint as your operational databases.
