TL;DR

This guide introduces the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and lists 30 top servers to connect Claude with tools like GitHub, Slack, and AWS, enabling seamless automation and direct data access.

โ€œCopy the code into Claude, then take the answer, open the browser, and move it to Slack, Notion, Supabase, or whatever tool... copy and paste. Phew ๐Ÿ˜ฉโ€

Surely you aren't using it like this, are you?

ใƒปCopying and pasting every time you check database contents

ใƒปManually relaying information while looking at GitHub Issues

ใƒปSummarizing Slack conversations just to paste them in

ใƒปBringing error logs from Sentry to give to Claude

That is truly too inefficient, so let's stop today!

Actually, all of this can be automated.

It's okay. This article will solve everything!

I promise that if you read to the end, your Claude will become 10 times smarter! ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Today, I'll explain an article that has been read over 1.3 million times overseas and received over 1,200 likes ๐Ÿ˜ณ

โ–  What is an MCP Server?

Claude Code Studio - inline image

MCP stands for "Model Context Protocol," an open standard for connecting Claude to external tools and services.

Databases, APIs, SaaS platforms, local files, browsers, cloud infrastructureโ€”all of these can be connected to Claude through a unified interface.

Without MCP: You copy data to Claude, copy the answer back to the tool. You are the "relay."

With MCP: Claude reads the database directly, opens GitHub Issues, sends Slack messages, and searches logs. You just tell it what you want to do.

โ–  Difference Between MCP Servers and Skills

Claude Code Studio - inline image

Many people confuse these, so let's clarify.

Skills teach Claude "how to think." You define TDD methods, PRD writing, or code review procedures in a SKILL.md file.

MCP Servers give Claude "access." They provide connections to actual systems like databases, GitHub, and Slack.

In other words:

ใƒปSkills only, no MCP โ†’ A brilliant employee who can't access any internal tools.

ใƒปMCP only, no Skills โ†’ An employee with access to every tool but no work manual.

You need both. If you've added 20 skills and are satisfied, you're only halfway there.

โ–  Where to Find MCP Servers

The ecosystem is growing rapidly, with over 10,000 public servers and 97 million monthly SDK downloads.

Look in these four places:

  1. Official MCP Server Repository github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers Reference implementations managed by the MCP group. Basic servers like filesystem, git, memory, fetch, and sequential thinking are here.
  1. Official MCP Registry registry.modelcontextprotocol.io The "App Store" for MCP. Over 500 servers indexed with a search API. Supported by Anthropic, GitHub, and Microsoft.
  1. awesome-mcp-servers (Community List) github.com/wong2/awesome-mcp-servers The most comprehensive community-curated list, organized by category and updated regularly.
  1. mcp.run A service to run MCP servers without installation. Great for testing in a sandbox before full deployment.

Before building your own, search these registries. 90% of what you need likely already exists.
