These servers enable Large Language Models (LLMs) to securely access tools and data sources. ## Reference implementations These official reference servers demonstrate core MCP features and SDK usage: ### Current reference servers * **[Everything](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main/src/everything)** - Reference / test server with prompts, resources, and tools * **[Fetch](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main/src/fetch)** - Web content fetching and conversion for efficient LLM usage * **[Filesystem](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main/src/filesystem)** - Secure file operations with configurable access controls * **[Git](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main/src/git)** - Tools to read, search, and manipulate Git repositories * **[Memory](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main/src/memory)** - Knowledge graph-based persistent memory system * **[Sequential Thinking](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main/src/sequentialthinking)** - Dynamic and reflective problem-solving through thought sequences * **[Time](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main/src/time)** - Time and timezone conversion capabilities ### Additional example servers (archived) Visit the [servers-archived repository](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers-archived) to get access to archived example servers that are no longer actively maintained. They are provided for historical reference only. ## Official integrations Visit the [MCP Servers Repository (Official Integrations section)](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers?tab=readme-ov-file#%EF%B8%8F-official-integrations) for a list of MCP servers maintained by companies for their platforms. ## Community implementations Visit the [MCP Servers Repository (Community section)](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers?tab=readme-ov-file#-community-servers) for a list of MCP servers maintained by community members. ## Getting started ### Using reference servers TypeScript-based servers can be used directly with `npx`: ```bash theme={null} npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-memory ``` Python-based servers can be used with `uvx` (recommended) or `pip`: ```bash theme={null} # Using uvx uvx mcp-server-git # Using pip pip install mcp-server-git python -m mcp_server_git ``` ### Configuring with Claude To use an MCP server with Claude, add it to your configuration: ```json theme={null} { "mcpServers": { "memory": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-memory"] }, "filesystem": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/path/to/allowed/files" ] }, "github": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-github"], "env": { "GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "" } } } } ``` ## Additional resources Visit the [MCP Servers Repository (Resources section)](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers?tab=readme-ov-file#-resources) for a collection of other resources and projects related to MCP.
