Open-Source MCP Server for Context and AI Tools

Large Language Models (LLMs) are powerful, but they’re limited by fixed context windows and outdated knowledge. What if your AI could access live search, structured data extraction, OCR, and more—all through a standardized interface? We built the JigsawStack MCP Server, an open-source implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that lets any AI model call external tools effortlessly. Here’s what it unlocks: - Web Search & Scraping: Fetch live information and extract structured data from web pages. - OCR & Structured Data Extraction: Process images, receipts, invoices, and handwritten…

In plain words

The JigsawStack MCP Server is an open-source implementation of the Model Context Protocol that extends AI model capabilities through external tools. It provides web search and scraping, OCR and structured data extraction from images and documents, AI translation, and image generation—all accessible through a standardized interface. This allows language models to access live information and perform specialized tasks on demand rather than relying on fixed training data or custom integrations.

  • An MCP server that gives LLMs temporal awareness and time calculation2025 · github.com · ▲91

    This is an open‑source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives any LLM a sense of the passage of time. Most MCP demos wire LLMs to external data stores. That’s useful, but MCP is also a chance to give models perception — extra senses beyond the prompt text. Six functions (`current_datetime`, `time_difference`, `timestamp_context`, etc.) give Claude&#x2F;GPT real temporal awareness: It can spot pauses, reason about rhythms, and even label a chat’s “three‑act structure”. Runs locally in <60 s (Python) or via a hosted demo. If time works, what else could we surface? - Location &#x2F;…

  • Hyperbrowser MCP Server – Connect AI agents to the web through browsers2025 · github.com · ▲63

    Hi HN! Excited to share our MCP Server at Hyperbrowser - something we’ve been working on for a few days. We think it’s a pretty neat way to connect LLMs and IDEs like Cursor &#x2F; Windsurf to the internet. Our MCP server exposes seven tools for data collection and browsing: 1. `scrape_webpage` - Extract formatted (markdown, screenshot etc) content from any webpage 2. `crawl_webpages` - Navigate through multiple linked pages and extract LLM-friendly formatted content 3. `extract_structured_data` - Convert messy HTML into structured JSON 4. `search_with_bing` - Query the web and get results…

  • Cloud-Ready Postgres MCP Server2025 · github.com · ▲167

    Hey HN, I built pg-mcp, a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for PostgreSQL that provides structured schema inspection and query execution for LLMs and agents. It's multi-tenant and runs over HTTP&#x2F;SSE (not stdio) Features - Supports multiple database connections from multiple agents - Schema Introspection: Returns table structures, types, indexes and constraints; enriched with descriptions from pg_catalog. (for well documented databases) - Read-Only Queries: Controlled execution of queries via MCP. - EXPLAIN Tool: Helps smart agents optimize queries before execution. - Extension…

  • Robot MCP Server – Connect Any Language Model and ROS Robots Using MCP2025 · github.com · ▲26

    We’ve open-sourced the Robot MCP Server, a tool that lets large language models (LLMs) talk directly to robots running ROS1 or ROS2. What it does - Connects any LLM to existing ROS robots via the Model Context Protocol (MCP) - Natural language → ROS topics, services, and actions (And the ability to read any of them back) - Works without changing robot source code Why it matters - Makes robots accessible from natural language interfaces - Opens the door to rapid prototyping of AI-robot applications - We are trying to create a common interface for safe AI ↔ robot communication This is too big…

  • MCP server for Blender that builds 3D scenes via natural language2025 · blender-mcp-psi.vercel.app · ▲151

    Hi HN! I built a custom MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects Blender to LLMs like ChatGPT, Claude, and any other llm supporting tool calling and mcps, enabling the AI to understand and control 3D scenes using natural language. You can describe an entire environment like: > “Create a small village with 5 huts arranged around a central bonfire, add a river flowing on the left, place a wooden bridge across it, and scatter trees randomly.” And the system parses that, reasons about the scene, and builds it inside Blender — no manual modeling or scripting needed. What it can do: -…
