Describe what you need in plain language. MCP Scout searches multiple MCP registries (the official Model Context Protocol registry and PulseMCP), deduplicates and ranks the results, and returns the best matches with ready-to-paste setup configs for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client.

Built for both humans and AI agents: an agent can call this actor mid-task to discover and wire up the capability it's missing.

Why not just browse a registry?

  • One query, all registries — results are merged and deduplicated across sources.
  • Ranked for usability, not just relevance — hosted remotes (zero install) and actively maintained servers rank higher; GitHub stars break ties.
  • Zero-friction setup — every result includes the exact claude mcp add … command and the JSON mcpServers snippet, for remote, npm, and PyPI variants.

Input

{
"query": "send messages to slack channels",
"maxResults": 5,
"requireRemote": false
}
  • query (required) — plain-language description of the task.
  • maxResults — how many ranked matches to return (default 5).
  • requireRemote — only return servers with a hosted endpoint (usable immediately, no local install).

Output

One dataset item per match:

{
"rank": 1,
"name": "ai.smithery/slack",
"description": "Send messages, manage channels, ...",
"score": 9.5,
"why": "matches: slack, messages; hosted remote available (no install needed); 1200 GitHub stars",
"remotes": [{ "type": "streamable-http", "url": "https://..." }],
"setup": [
{
"kind": "remote",
"claudeCodeCommand": "claude mcp add --transport http slack https://...",
"jsonConfig": { "mcpServers": { "slack": { "type": "http", "url": "https://..." } } }
}
]
}

The full response (including totalCandidates and any per-source errors) is stored as the run's OUTPUT key-value record.

Use cases

  • Agents: discover and self-wire missing capabilities mid-task.
  • Developers: skip the registry-crawling; get the config snippet directly.
  • Teams: audit what's available before building a custom MCP server.
