What Mcpmcp server does
According to its repository: “Lists MCP servers so you can ask your client which ones could improve your daily workflow.”
An MCP server gives an AI agent extra tools it calls during the conversation: the agent reads their description, decides to use them and gets the result back. Mcpmcp server is listed under Aggregators and gateways, a category of 141 servers in the directory, where it ranks #93 by stars.
Installing and connecting Mcpmcp server
No package or remote server is declared in the official MCP registry: you install it from source, following the repository README.
Like any MCP server, you declare it in your client's configuration (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex…): a name, the command that starts it or its URL, and any environment variables. The client then starts it and lists its tools. Project language: TypeScript. Listed systems: macOS, Windows, Linux.
Security: what to check
An MCP server runs code with the rights you give it, and the model reads its tool descriptions: a malicious or compromised server can hijack the agent. Read the code, or pick a maintained and widely used server, before connecting it.
Points found for Mcpmcp server:
- Maintenance: no commit for 18 months. Possible flaws and protocol changes are no longer tracked.
Good practice: grant only the rights needed (least privilege), require human approval for irreversible actions, and run the AI agent security check.
Project activity and maintenance
Created on April 24, 2025, the glenngillen/mcpmcp-server repository has 43 stars and 25 forks, with 2 open issues. It has more stars than 49% of the servers in the directory. Last change 18 months ago.
Stars measure attention, not quality: a recent, heavily promoted project can collect them fast, while a useful but niche server will have few.
Verdict
Mcpmcp server is still a modest project: read its code and compare it with the alternatives before using it.
