Super cool, Thanks
Maxious•2h ago
There's some movement on https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/registry

> The MCP Registry service provides a centralized repository for MCP server entries. It allows discovery and management of various MCP implementations with their associated metadata, configurations, and capabilities.

connor4312•1h ago
@ VS Code we've been collaborating on this and plan to ship initial support for registries in our next release.
mooreds•2h ago
Also interesting was mintlify's decision to start one and then shut it down.

Nice story of startup focus.

You don't need MCP you just need function calling
laidoffamazon•2h ago
Is there a better “universal” or standard framework to do itv
asdev•2h ago
you don't need any universal standard, you just need functions specific to your app's use case
djohnston•49m ago
you can leverage MCPs without building any app at all.
hughdbrown•2h ago
Yeah, but there is a distinct advantage to using a standard.

Suppose you want your agent to use postgres or git or even file modification. You write your code to use MCP and your backend is already available. It's code you don't have to write.

jappgar•34m ago
Are we still writing code?
mindwok•2h ago
Yes because we should all be building function calling implementations for the same 10 SaaS services rather than using 10 standard MCP servers.

I find it funny that vibers trust AI to write their entire platform but don't trust it enough to eval a curl statement.

What is a useful agent build with MCP?
kordlessagain•2h ago
I have an agent that creates new tools here: https://github.com/kordless/gnosis-evolve. I use it with Claude Desktop for a lot of different things, including browsing or searching for content, with the various crawlers that are out now. There's a crawl4ai tool that is pretty useful.
reustle•2h ago
Here are a few more:

- https://smithery.ai/

- https://github.com/wong2/awesome-mcp-servers

- http://mcp.so/servers

- https://cursor.directory/mcp

But as mentioned above, there is an ongoing discussion for the Anthropic registry https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/registry

tkellogg•1h ago
FYI https://mcp.so/ is the exact same thing as was posted. Not sure why they directed to the github instead of the actual site..
cadamsdotcom•2h ago
There's a huge gap in this market for someone who can take these and make them trustworthy. Maybe the OpenRouter of MCP.
tough•2h ago
The underlying issue is always relying on a third party, on openrouter you're trusting the end model provider to not do funny business

can't really fix this

cyanydeez•1h ago
I don't see how they could ever be trust worthy without kneecaping the claimed benefits.
jjfoooo4•2h ago
I’ve been seeing MCP compared to extensions in web browsers. Which I find telling, since I wouldn’t exactly say web extensions have been a great success - it’s a pretty niche dev market, and the security posture remains pretty anxiety inducing

Model Context Protocol
CSMastermind•40m ago
I wonder if there's a market for someone figuring out how to build monetization into MCP or something similar.

Being able to offer a helpful API to the world and just getting paid whenever someone uses it would be really nice.

At the moment you have to process the payment "yourself" (even if you use a third party for that), issue an API key, etc.

jappgar•39m ago
Is this like 10 years ago when you could find a Directory of GraphQL Servers?

Seems silly in retrospect no?

schappim•13m ago
So far, I’ve catalogued over 6,000 MCP servers.

If you’re interested in the next layer beyond just discovering MCP servers, I’ve been working on https://ninja.ai — an app store for AI assistants to connect to tools via MCP, without needing to touch the command line. Think one-click installs for pipes that let agents actually do things like triage email or book Ubers.

Would love feedback if you’re experimenting in this space too!
