About the Almanac

The Agent Almanac is an open, curated reference catalog for MCP servers — the tools that connect Claude Desktop, Cursor, Continue, Zed, and other agent runtimes to the real world.

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol is an open standard, originally published by Anthropic in late 2024, that defines how LLM agents discover and invoke external tools. It's protocol-only — independent of any model vendor — and has been adopted by Cursor, Continue, Zed, and most major agent runtimes shipping today.

Why the Almanac

MCP server adoption is growing weekly. Discovery isn't. The official server list lives in a Git README. Community servers are scattered across GitHub. Install configs for each agent runtime differ subtly. There's no neutral, curated reference where a developer can find a server, read what it does, and copy a working config snippet into their agent of choice.

The Almanac is that reference. Curated, not crawled. Working install snippets for every runtime we support. Honest distinctions between official and community servers. No login to browse. JSON catalog at /servers.json.

What we don't do

• We don't host servers. Every server in the catalog runs on its author's infrastructure. We index, don't operate.
• We don't gate access. The full catalog is public. No login. No paywall. The JSON feed is free for any client to consume.
• We don't take sides. Official servers from Anthropic, Stripe, Cloudflare, Linear, Notion are listed alongside community-maintained ones, with clear badges.
