Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about MCP and MCP Tools.
MCP is an open-source protocol that enables AI systems like Claude to securely connect with various data sources. It provides a universal standard for AI assistants to access external data, tools, and prompts through a client-server architecture.
An MCP Server is a system that provides context, tools, and prompts to AI clients. It can expose data sources like files, databases, and API integrations, allowing AI assistants to access real-time information in a secure way.
The MCP ecosystem is growing rapidly, but finding the right tool is hard. Existing lists are just "phonebooks" - you have to know what you're looking for. MCP Tools is different. We are a "GPS Navigator". We help you discover solutions based on your actual use case, not just by name.
Every tool on MCP Tools is hand-picked and curated by us. We don't just list everything. We analyze, categorize, and write our own "Our Take" and "Quick Start" guides for each tool to save you hours of research time and help you get started faster.
"By Use Case" helps you answer "What problem am I trying to solve?". "By Integration" helps you answer "Which tools work with the platform I'm already using (like Vercel or LangChain)?". Using them together provides a powerful way to find the exact right tool.
Yes, security is built into the MCP protocol. Server controls its own resources, there's no need to share API keys with LLM providers, and the system maintains clear boundaries. Each server manages its own authentication and access control.
