Open MCP

A collection of open and useful Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for AI assistants like Claude.

What are MCPs?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that allows AI assistants to interact with external tools and data sources. These servers act as bridges between AI models and the outside world, enabling them to access real-time information and perform useful actions.

Installation

To use these MCP servers with Claude for Desktop:

1. Open your Claude for Desktop configuration file:

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

2. Add the following to your configuration file:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "kanye": {
         "command": "npx",
         "args": ["-y", "kanye-mcp"]
       }
     }
   }
   

3. Restart Claude for Desktop

4. You'll see a hammer icon at the bottom of the input field when tools are available

Usage

Once installed, you can ask Claude to use these tools:

• "Can you share a Kanye West quote?"
• "What's something interesting Kanye said?"

Claude will call the appropriate tool and display the result.
