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
MCP Servers for Memory for AI Agents
Long-term memory is what turns a stateless chat into an assistant that knows your project. Cognee and Hindsight build knowledge-graph memory, the MCP Memory Service and Mem0 add persistent recall to any client, and lighter options like Shodh, Mengram, and Prism keep memory local.
