Getting Started

The MCP catalog is available at openmodels.run/mcp . You can browse servers, filter by category or transport, and generate IDE connection configs — all from the web interface.

Browsing the Catalog

The catalog page displays all registered MCP servers as cards showing:

• Server name and description
• Author
• Category badge
• Supported transport types
• Tool count and star count

Use the search bar to find servers by name, description, or tags. Results are ranked by relevance with name matches weighted highest.

Filtering

Apply filters to narrow results:

• Category — select one or more categories (OR logic within category)
• Transport — filter by stdio, sse, or http-streaming

When filters are applied across different types, they combine with AND logic. For example, selecting category “Database” and transport “stdio” shows only database servers that support stdio.

Viewing Server Details

Click any server card to view its full detail page at /mcp/{server-id}. The detail page includes:

• Complete description
• All exposed tools with input schemas
• Resources with URI templates
• Prompts with arguments
• Transport compatibility
• Repository link, license, and version

Connecting to Your IDE

Each detail page includes a Connect panel where you can:

1. Select your IDE (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, Kiro, VS Code)
2. Choose a transport type (if the server supports multiple)
3. Copy the generated configuration snippet
4. Paste it into your IDE’s MCP config file

See IDE Integration for detailed setup instructions per IDE.

Using the API

The MCP registry is also available programmatically:

# List all servers
curl https://api.openmodels.run/api/v1/mcp/servers
 
# Search for database servers
curl "https://api.openmodels.run/api/v1/mcp/servers?q=database&category=Database"
 
# Get a specific server
curl https://api.openmodels.run/api/v1/mcp/servers/postgres
 
# Get IDE config
curl https://api.openmodels.run/api/v1/mcp/servers/postgres/config/cursor
 
# Get categories with counts
curl https://api.openmodels.run/api/v1/mcp/categories
 
# Get registry stats
curl https://api.openmodels.run/api/v1/mcp/stats

Pagination

List endpoints support pagination via page and limit query parameters:

# Page 2, 10 items per page
curl "https://api.openmodels.run/api/v1/mcp/servers?page=2&limit=10"

Response includes pagination metadata:

{
  "items": [...],
  "pagination": {
    "total": 42,
    "page": 2,
    "limit": 10,
    "total_pages": 5
  }
}

Comparing Servers

When evaluating multiple servers with similar functionality:

1. Select 2–4 servers using the compare checkbox on each card
2. Click the compare button
3. View a side-by-side table showing transport support, tool/resource/prompt counts, license, and last updated date

Differing values are highlighted for quick identification.
