best

list_best

A ranked best-of list by topic, e.g. 'grok-bot-connectors', 'voice-agents', 'local-models', 'figma-mcp-servers', 'mcp-servers-for-databases'. Omit topic to list all topics.

tool

get_tool

Full details for one tool by its Plug and Ship slug (from search_tools): description, stars, install command, remote endpoint, license, tags and last commit.

tools

search_tools

Find MCP servers, agent skills (SKILL.md) and coding-agent plugins for a task. Pass a plain-language task (e.g. 'query my Postgres from Cursor', 'post to Slack from Claude Code') or keywords. The task is parsed for kind (MCP/skill/plugin), client (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, VS Code), remote vs local and language; results are ranked by relevance (full-text + semantic match), with stars, recent commits, a valid one-click config and a license only as tie-breakers. Every result explains why it matches. type, client and remote are strict filters (client grok-bot = MCP servers with a public HTTPS endpoint).

trending

trending

Fastest-growing MCP servers, skills and plugins: stars gained in the period (day, week or month) from Plug and Ship's own daily star snapshots. While less than one period of history exists, a damped lifetime velocity fills in (repos with 20+ stars and a commit in the last 30 days).

Plug and Ship — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Plug and Ship do?

It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_tool, list_best, search_tools, trending. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Plug and Ship working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 380 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Plug and Ship?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Plug and Ship need an API key?

No. Plug and Ship completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Plug and Ship?

It answers our handshake in 380 ms on average, which is faster than 38% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Plug and Ship open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at plugandship.dev, which runs on its operator's own terms.
