Best MCP Servers for Developer Tools
MCP servers that integrate with APIs, SDKs, and tools commonly used by developers.
Developer-tool MCP servers wrap APIs, documentation, and observability platforms so agents can reason about your stack. They reduce glue code when building coding assistants.
Top picks
Pushpad MCP
Enables sending web push notifications and managing Pushpad resources (notifications, subscriptions, projects, and senders) through natural language, using the Pushpad API.
garmin-mcp
A read-only MCP server that provides Claude Desktop with access to Garmin Connect running, strength-training, and calorie data via direct API calls.
Google MCP Server
A FastAPI-based MCP server that integrates with Google Docs and Gmail, requiring terminal approval before executing actions.
s3-mcp-server
A remote, OAuth2-authenticated MCP server that provides read-only S3 tools (list buckets, list objects, check public access, get bucket size) designed to run on ECS Fargate with Auth0 as the identity provider.
mcp-audit
npm audit for MCP servers. Point it at an MCP server and get a security grade (A–F) covering missing auth, SSRF surface, high-privilege tools, prompt-injection-prone tool descriptions, and leaked secrets.
semantic-product-search-mcp
Exposes product catalog and semantic search as tools for an LLM agent, enabling natural language product recommendations based on intent rather than keyword matching.
How to choose
- Prioritize transport: stdio servers run locally; HTTP/remote servers need no install but require network trust.
- Check stars & maintenance: Higher GitHub stars and recent commits usually signal a more reliable project.
- Review security scope: File-system and browser servers can access sensitive data; run them in isolated environments.
- Match your client: Not all MCP clients support every transport; verify compatibility with Claude Desktop, Cursor, or your own agent.
