MCP Servers and Tools I Use
This repository documents the Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers I frequently use and the tools they provide. MCP enables AI assistants like Claude to interact with external systems and data sources.
MCP Servers
1. Desktop Commander
Description: A MCP server that gives Claude terminal control, file system search and diff file editing capabilities.
Functionality:
- Execute long-running terminal commands on your computer
- Manage processes through MCP
- Search and navigate file system
- Edit files with search and replace operations
- Run terminal commands with AI assistance
Repository: https://github.com/wonderwhy-er/DesktopCommanderMCP
Installation: npx -y @wonderwhy-er/desktop-commander
2. Tavily MCP
Description: A MCP server that provides AI-powered web search and content extraction capabilities using Tavily's API.
Functionality:
- Perform comprehensive web searches
- Extract and process content from URLs
- Customize search parameters (depth, domains, time range, etc.)
- Filter and focus searches on specific content types
- Access news and general information searches
Repository: https://github.com/tavily-ai/tavily-mcp
Installation: npx -y tavily-mcp@0.1.4
3. GitHub MCP
Description: GitHub's official MCP server that enables Claude to interact with GitHub repositories and features.
Functionality:
- Create, read, and update GitHub repositories
- Manage issues and pull requests
- Search code, repositories, users
- Review and comment on code
- Access and manipulate repository content
- Create branches and manage commits
Repository: https://github.com/github/github-mcp-server
Installation: Run via Docker with docker run -i --rm -e GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN ghcr.io/github/github-mcp-server
4. Memory MCP
Description: A knowledge graph-based memory server that enables Claude to maintain contextual information and memory.
Functionality:
- Create and manage entities in a knowledge graph
- Establish relations between entities
- Add observations to existing entities
- Search for nodes in the knowledge graph
- Delete entities, relations, or observations
- Query and traverse the knowledge graph
