What the servers do, and what we are building.
Notes from the directory. A server's own job, the publisher URL, and the parts of PlugMCP that changed this week.

What we are building
A catalog of MCP servers you install from the publisher, and a separate place to host the ones you actually run.
2026-10-16What's new: publisher pages, not a proxy
Listings now open the publisher's URL, known servers sit first, and the top pages are filling in from GitHub READMEs.
2026-10-16What Context7's MCP actually does
Context7 puts current library docs into the prompt. Two tools, one URL, and why the listing sends you there.
2026-10-16What Firecrawl's MCP does for an agent
Firecrawl turns pages into text an agent can use: search, scrape, and the remote URL the listing now shows.
Install notes
Add an MCP server to Cursor
Open the listing, click Add to Cursor, or paste mcp.json. What the agent sees after you allow the server.
Add an MCP server to Claude
Claude Code is one terminal command. Claude Desktop uses a JSON file and mcp-remote for HTTP servers.
Remote URL vs a local MCP command
A remote listing is an HTTP endpoint. A local listing is a command your agent starts. How to tell which one you have.
Also
The same MCP server, tuned for a phone call
Voice agents cannot wait four seconds or read a JSON blob. How /v/{slug} changes the tool surface.
WebMCP and PlugMCP Browser
Sites register tools in the page. Browser runs them in your tab. Hosted MCP stays on the gateway.
How the PlugMCP directory works
All servers on the first page. Official is a badge. Search, categories, and ingest without a dead-end filter.
