10+ plug-and-play MCP servers for Claude — Hacker News, Wikipedia, Weather, GitHub, Reddit, and more. One install, zero hassle.

Project description

mcp-everything

10+ plug-and-play MCP servers for Claude — one install, zero hassle.

PyPI version Python 3.10+ License: MIT PRs Welcome


mcp-everything is a single Python package that ships real, working MCP servers — not just a list of links. Install once, run the setup wizard, restart Claude Desktop, and you're done.

pip install mcp-everything
mcp-everything setup

That's it. Claude can now browse Hacker News, search Wikipedia, look up weather, pull GitHub issues, search Reddit, fetch research papers, and more — all without leaving the conversation.


Servers

Server Tools API Key? What you can ask Claude
Hacker News 4 ✅ None "What's trending on HN today?", "Search HN for posts about Rust"
Wikipedia 4 ✅ None "Summarise the Wikipedia article on black holes", "What happened on this day in history?"
ArXiv 3 ✅ None "Find recent papers on LLM reasoning", "Get the abstract for arxiv 2305.10403"
Weather 2 ✅ None "What's the weather in Tokyo?", "7-day forecast for London"
Reddit 4 ✅ None "What are the hot posts on r/MachineLearning?", "Search Reddit for Claude MCP"
Pokédex 3 ✅ None "What are Charizard's stats?", "What's super-effective against Dragon types?"
GitHub 5 🔑 Free token "Search GitHub for FastMCP examples", "List open issues in anthropics/anthropic-sdk-python"
News 3 🔑 Free tier "Top tech news today", "Search news for AI regulation"

6 of 8 servers work with zero API keys. mcp-everything setup will only ask for keys when you actually enable a server that needs one.


Quick Start

1. Install

pip install mcp-everything

2. Run the setup wizard

mcp-everything setup

The wizard will:

  • Show you all available servers in a nice table
  • Let you pick which ones to enable (all, free, or 1,2,5)
  • Prompt for API keys only for servers you enable that need them
  • Auto-detect your Claude Desktop config path (macOS / Windows / Linux)
  • Write the config and tell you to restart Claude

3. Restart Claude Desktop

That's it. You'll see your new MCP servers connected in Claude.


Manual Install (without the wizard)

If you'd rather configure manually, add servers to your claude_desktop_config.json:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Adding a New Server (Contributing)

Each server is a self-contained Python file using FastMCP:

# mcp_everything/servers/myserver.py
from mcp.server.fastmcp import FastMCP
import httpx

mcp = FastMCP("myserver")

@mcp.tool()
async def my_tool(query: str) -> str:
    """Description Claude will see. Args are auto-documented.

    Args:
        query: What to search for
    """
    # your implementation
    return "result"

if __name__ == "__main__":
    mcp.run()

Then add an entry to the SERVERS list in mcp_everything/config.py and open a PR. That's genuinely all it takes — we'd love more servers!

See CONTRIBUTING.md for full guidelines.


Roadmap

  • Spotify — now playing, search, control playback
  • YouTube — search videos, fetch transcripts
  • Wolfram Alpha — math, science, data queries
  • Jira / Linear — issue tracking
  • Slack — search messages (via MCP)
  • Single-file installer script (no Python required)
  • Auto-update via mcp-everything update

Have a server you'd love to see? Open an issue.
