## Read entries by role

The listed resources are not a numbered ranking or a set of interchangeable servers. Each one does a different job, and the line under its name says which.

## Selection basis

Resources were selected for relevance to MCP marketplaces and registries and an official description on the maker's own pages, read on the dates under Sources. Inclusion does not imply partnership, endorsement of this directory or a tested comparison. Check the current scope on each official page.
