MCPVault

5,000+ MCP servers with quality grades and live testing.

What it does

MCPVault is the independent quality directory for MCP servers. Browse 5,000+ servers with quality grades (A to F), staleness signals, install commands, and client compatibility. Verification is real: we spawn the server and run an actual MCP handshake (initialize + tools/list). Verified servers earn a do-follow link and an embeddable README badge. Maintainers claim their listing with GitHub sign-in in under a minute. Claiming and verification are free during early access.

    MCPSpec – Ship reliable MCP servers without writing test codeFeb 2026 · light-handle.github.io · ▲7

    Hi HN, I've been building MCPSpec, an open-source CLI for MCP server reliability. Record sessions, generate mock servers, catch Tool Poisoning, and fail your CI build when something's wrong — without writing test code. There are ways to validate MCP servers today — the MCP Inspector, ad-hoc SDK scripts, unit tests for server internals — but nothing that handles regression detection, security auditing, mock generation, and CI pass/fail checks in one tool. MCPSpec does that: 1. Record a session against your real server, replay it after changes to catch regressions 2. Generate a standalone…

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
