What the code does

We read the source, 1 d ago · tools taken from the live server · rules 995398eba69f

In the project's build, not in the package

Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check PlugMCP directory every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 9

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

categories
list_categories
Directory categories with listing counts. Use a slug as the category filter in search_servers.
compare
compare_servers
Compare two to five servers side by side by slug: trust signals, auth, hosting, transport, tools count, license.
install
get_install
The exact config or command to install one server in one client: Cursor, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Windsurf, ChatGPT, Codex, Gemini CLI, Grok Build, Grok Bot, or plain JSON. For Grok Bot the value is the message to send in its chat. Includes the config file path and a one-click deeplink when the client has one.
recommend
recommend_servers
Describe what the user wants to do in plain words. Returns the best three servers, each with why it fits, auth, remote or local, health, and the install snippet for the client.
server
get_server
Details for one server by slug: description, tools, auth, transport, health, packages, and links. include_readme adds the README (trimmed).
servers
search_servers
Find MCP servers by product name, publisher, or topic. Ranked by relevance (exact name, then publisher, then tags and description); the product's own server comes first when there is one (jira finds Atlassian's), duplicates merged. Returns compact cards with trust signals; call get_install next. When the user describes a job rather than a product, recommend_servers is one call instead of two.
skill
get_skill
One skill by slug: what it does, where the SKILL.md lives, and the install command for Cursor, Claude Code, Codex and Grok Build, plus the chat message that installs it in Grok Bot. include_body adds the SKILL.md text (trimmed).
skills
search_skills
Find agent skills (SKILL.md packs for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Grok Build and Grok Bot) by name, publisher or topic. Call get_skill for the install command.
whats
whats_new
Servers added to the directory recently, best first, plus health changes. Defaults to the last 7 days.

PlugMCP directory — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can PlugMCP directory do?
It exposes 9 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: compare_servers, get_install, get_server, get_skill, list_categories, recommend_servers and 3 more. 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 PlugMCP directory working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 279 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect PlugMCP directory?
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 PlugMCP directory need an API key?
No. PlugMCP directory completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 9 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is PlugMCP directory?
It answers our handshake in 279 ms on average, which is faster than 51% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use PlugMCP directory?
The npm package plugmcp-mcp was installed 529 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is PlugMCP directory open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 2 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at plugmcp.ai, which runs on its operator's own terms.
