mcp-everything

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

---

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.

13 of 18 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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hackernews": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "mcp_everything.servers.hackernews"]
    },
    "wikipedia": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "mcp_everything.servers.wikipedia"]
    },
    "weather": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "mcp_everything.servers.weather"]
    },
    "github": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "mcp_everything.servers.github"],
      "env": {
        "GITHUB_TOKEN": "your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

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.
