MCP Servers, Tools and Agent Skills

MetaMCP is a self-hosted gateway for developers and teams who want to give AI clients access to several MCP servers through one endpoint. It runs on your own machine or server with Docker and is open source under the MIT license. You choose which tools clients see.

Docker MCP Gateway gives developers one local connection point for the tools their AI applications use. It runs MCP servers in isolated Docker containers and shares their configuration across clients such as Claude Code, Cursor and Zed. This reduces repeated setup when several coding assistants need access to the same databases, APIs or development tools.

Postgres MCP Pro is a self-hosted MCP server that gives AI assistants access to PostgreSQL alongside tools for diagnosing slow queries and testing index recommendations. It's for developers and database maintainers who want their assistant to work with the database's actual schema, query statistics and execution plans. It runs through Docker or Python and is open source under the MIT license.

GitHub MCP Server is GitHub's official connector for developers who want their AI assistant to work with repositories and project activity. It gives compatible coding assistants access to GitHub through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), so they can retrieve context and take actions requested in natural language. The code is open source under the MIT license.

ECC is a free, MIT-licensed open source toolkit that adds repeatable engineering workflows to coding assistants. It runs alongside your chosen agent and works with self-hosted models or cloud providers through that agent's supported endpoints. It's for developers who want planning, testing and review to follow a consistent process across coding sessions.

Chrome DevTools MCP gives AI coding assistants access to a live Chrome browser through a locally running MCP server. It's for developers who want their agent to inspect how a web app behaves, investigate errors and measure performance alongside its coding work. It works with clients such as Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot and Antigravity.

mcpo makes MCP tools accessible to AI agents and apps that accept OpenAPI servers, including Open WebUI. It's a self-hosted proxy for developers who want to use existing MCP servers with those apps without writing a separate adapter for each tool. You can run it locally or on your own server with Python or Docker. It's open source under the MIT license.

Latitude is a self-hosted AI agent monitoring platform for teams that need to find production failures and check that fixes work. It connects recurring problems to the sessions that caused them, then can dispatch Claude Code or Cursor with enough context to make a fix and open a pull request.

Skills (mattpocock) is an MIT-licensed collection of engineering workflows for developers using Claude Code, Codex and other AI coding agents. Its small, separate skills work with any model and can be combined or adapted to your project, so you can choose specific practices without adopting an entire development process.

Wren AI is a self-hosted data agent for teams and agent builders who need answers based on agreed business definitions. It turns plain-language questions into SQL and interactive dashboards, using the same definitions when someone asks directly or through Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini over MCP.

PDFMathTranslate translates scientific PDFs while keeping their page layout, formulas, charts, contents pages and annotations. It's for researchers, students and others who need to read papers in another language without losing the relationship between the text and its figures. It produces both translated PDFs and bilingual documents for comparison with the original.

Local Deep Research is a self-hosted AI research assistant for people who need cited answers drawn from academic papers, the web and their own documents. It can produce a quick summary or pursue a complex question through repeated searches, then assemble a structured report. It's open source under MIT.

txtai is a Python framework for developers building search applications, chat with their data, and AI agents on their own hardware or servers. Its embeddings database combines sparse and dense vector search with graphs and relational data, so the same system can find related content and supply context to language models. It's open source under Apache 2.0.

FastMCP is an open-source Python framework for developers connecting AI agents to their own tools and data through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It supports locally running servers and connections to remote servers, with server development and client access in the same framework. It uses the Apache 2.0 license.

Playwright MCP lets AI agents control a browser by reading structured page information rather than interpreting screenshots. It's for developers building browser automation, exploratory tests or agent workflows that need to keep a browser session open across repeated actions. The server runs locally on macOS, Windows and Linux, or as a self-hosted service.

Cognee gives AI agents persistent memory across sessions, connecting documents, code, and conversations in a searchable knowledge graph. It's for developers who want agents to retain project context and teams whose knowledge sits across tickets, discussions, and repositories. The Python package is open source under Apache 2.0.

Repomix turns a code repository into a single file that an AI assistant can read. It’s for developers who need to give Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or another model enough project context for code review or analysis. You can use its command line on your own machine, pack a repository through its website, or run it as an MCP server, including through Docker. It is open source under the MIT license.

Vexa is a meeting bot and transcription API for developers building meeting features and teams feeding calls into AI agents. Bots join Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and Zoom, then send live transcripts with speaker labels to your application or agent. You can host the full platform on your own infrastructure or use Vexa's cloud service.

Scrapling is a Python web scraping framework for developers collecting website data or giving AI agents access to web pages. Its adaptive parser can find previously selected elements after a site's layout changes, reducing the need to repair extraction rules. It's open source under the BSD-3-Clause license and runs on your own machine or in Docker.

Arize Phoenix is a self-hosted platform for developers who need to understand why an AI agent failed and test changes before shipping them. It runs on a laptop, in Docker, or on Kubernetes. Self-hosting keeps traces on your infrastructure; Phoenix Cloud provides a hosted alternative. Phoenix uses the Elastic License 2.0 (ELv2), a source-available license.

ast-grep MCP is a locally run server that lets AI coding assistants search code by its syntax structure. It connects ast-grep to Cursor, Claude Desktop and other clients that support the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It's for developers who need an assistant to find specific code constructs when matching words alone is too broad.

Code Buddy is an AI coding assistant for developers who want a terminal agent running on their own machine, with a choice of local or cloud models. It reads repositories, edits code and runs commands on Linux, macOS and Windows. Ollama keeps model inference local without an API key or account; cloud providers send model requests off the machine. Routing includes automatic provider failover.
