Model Context Protocol
MCP Servers for AI Agents
One setup guide per server or client: how to install it, how it authenticates, and which tools it exposes, checked against each project's own documentation.

MCP server setup guides by category
Each guide below covers one MCP server: how to install or connect it, how it authenticates, and every tool it exposes to a client such as Claude, Cursor or n8n. They are grouped by the job the server does, so start with the category that matches what your agent needs to reach, then add servers one at a time.

MCP server questions
These answers cover what an MCP server is, how clients load one, and how to choose between an official server and a community project. For install commands, authentication details and tool lists, open the guide for the specific server; each one is written from the vendor's own documentation and repository.
What is an MCP server?
A Model Context Protocol server publishes tools, and sometimes prompts and resources, that an AI client can call. The client, such as Claude Code or Cursor, decides when to call them. Each guide in this directory covers one server or client: how it installs, how it authenticates and which tools it exposes.
Should I use a remote server or a local one?
It depends on the server. Remote servers such as Notion, Slack, Semrush and Zapier are a URL you add and authorise with OAuth, with nothing to install. Local servers such as Playwright run as a command on your machine. GitHub offers both, and its guide compares them.
Is it safe to connect any MCP server?
No. Only connect servers you trust, and prefer read-only modes where a server offers them. Servers that fetch external content can expose an agent to prompt injection, which is why several guides here cover scopes, read-only flags and approval settings.
Put a server to work
Connecting a server gives an agent tools. SpringBrand turns those tools into finished work: you describe the outcome, and an agent picks the servers, runs the steps and hands back the result. Start with one of the setup guides above, or skip the configuration and describe the job you want done.
