mcp-advisor

MCP Advisor

An MCP server that lets your AI assistant browse, search, and discover MCP servers from the MCP Advisor registry.

The registry data is a static snapshot of the official MCP registry, refreshed regularly and published to the web. All search and lookup runs locally in the package — there is no account, no tracking, and no backend to depend on.

# Run directly (recommended)
uvx mcp-advisor

# Or install globally
pip install mcp-advisor
