**Author:** Krzysztof Kućmierz  
**Email:** <krzysztof.kucmierz@artificiuminformatica.pl>  
**Repository** [https://github.com/krzysztofkucmierz/search-mcp-server]

## Features

- **Search MCP Servers**: Find relevant MCP servers by name, description, or category
- **Dynamic Data**: Live scraping from <https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers>
- **Fast & Cached**: Configurable caching (default: 6 hours) for optimal performance

## Tools & Resources provided by server

- Tools: `search_mcp_servers(query, category)`, `get_mcp_server_categories()`
- Resources: `mcp://servers/list`, `mcp://servers/categories`

## Installation and usage - quick start

```bash
pip install uv
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip install search-mcp-server
search-mcp-server --sse # see available command line options in next sections
```

## Installation and usage - details

### Install [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) (fast Python package manager)

```bash
# macOS/Linux
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# Or with pip
pip install uv

uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate
```

### Install MCP server from PyPi.org

```bash
uv pip install search-mcp-server
```

### Start the MCP server

```bash
search-mcp-server --sse
```

Command Line Options

- `--sse`: Start in SSE mode instead of stdio mode
- `--port PORT`: Port for SSE mode (default: 8000)
- `--cache-timeout SECONDS`: Cache timeout in seconds (default: 21600 = 6 hours)
- `--help`: Displays available options

use `--sse` when you want other apps to connect over HTTP; omit it to run in stdio mode where the client must start the process.

### Add MCP server to your IDE (example for VSCode)

If you run the server with `--sse`, point your client (or VSCode MCP extension) to the SSE URL (here it is `http://127.0.0.1:8000/sse`). Add the following minimal JSON to the mcp.…
