Terms of use

The rules for using mcp.tc, how listings are checked and removed, and what we can and can’t promise.

The service

mcp.tc is a free directory of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers run by Marco Costantino. It lists servers made and run by other people and companies. We don’t operate, audit or guarantee any of them. By using the site you accept these terms.

Suggesting a server

Anyone can suggest a server by submitting its URL. You may only submit public MCP servers: a hosted endpoint, a public repository or a package anyone can install. Don’t submit, and we won’t list:

  • malware, phishing or anything built to collect credentials or personal data by deception;
  • servers that pose as another company’s product or misuse its trademarks;
  • illegal content, or servers that exist mainly to spread it;
  • spam, duplicates or things that aren’t MCP servers.

By submitting, you confirm that you don’t knowingly break these rules. You don’t give us any rights over the server itself; listing it only uses public information about it.

How listings are checked

Every suggestion goes through the same steps, and we describe them here so you know how decisions are made.

  1. A program connects to the submitted address and runs the MCP handshake, lists the tools, detects how sign-in works, and reads the server card, the official MCP Registry entry and the repository or package page when they exist.
  2. An AI model (Claude, by Anthropic) receives that public information, as untrusted data and without any ability to act, and returns a draft listing, a recommendation (approve, review or reject) and flags for risks such as spam, malware, impersonation, adult content, prompt injection or "not an MCP server".
  3. A listing goes live automatically only when all of these are true:
    • automatic approval is switched on;
    • the reviewer recommends approval and raised no blocking flag;
    • the server’s name doesn’t claim a brand it doesn’t belong to;
    • the listing has a name and a description;
    • the repository isn’t archived;
    • a hosted server answered our check over Streamable HTTP and its sign-in method is known, or a local package has an active entry in the official registry.
    A suggestion the reviewer rejects with a blocking flag is declined. Everything else waits for a person, who approves, edits or declines it.
  4. Listed servers are checked again every day. A server that stops answering, changes how it signs in or is withdrawn from the registry can be marked, hidden or removed.

We can edit any listing, change its category or name, hide it or remove it at any time, including on our own initiative. A removed listing’s link answers that it’s gone.

The verified checkmark

A checkmark next to a listing’s name means we confirmed who runs the server: either we checked that it’s the vendor’s official server, or the owner of a domain tied to the listing proved control of it with a DNS record and we approved the request. It isn’t a security review, an endorsement or a promise that the server works or is safe. We can remove it at any time, for example when the record disappears or the listing changes. How verification works

AI-written text

Descriptions, summaries, example prompts and setup notes are written with AI help from each server’s public metadata, and setup guides are generated from the same data. Listings in languages other than English are translated by an AI model from the English text. They can be wrong or out of date. Check the server’s own documentation before you rely on them, and tell us when something is off.

Connecting servers is your call

An MCP server can read data, take actions and return text that your AI app treats as instructions. A careless or hostile server can leak data, run actions you didn’t intend or try prompt injection. A listing here means only that a server answered and looked like what it claims to be. Read its tool list, use servers you trust, keep keys out of shared files, and review what your client is about to run.

No warranty

The site and the listings are provided as they are, without any promise that they’re accurate, available or fit for a particular purpose. We aren’t responsible for third-party servers or for what they do with your data.

Liability

To the extent Italian law allows, we’re not liable for indirect damage, lost data or lost profits from using the site or a listed server. Nothing in these terms limits liability for intent or gross negligence (art. 1229 of the Italian Civil Code), or any right you have as a consumer that can’t be waived.

Reports, removals and appeals

You can report a listing that’s illegal, unsafe, infringing or wrong on the report page. We confirm we received the report, look at it with care and without bias, and tell you what we decided and why. If we remove or restrict a listing and we have a way to reach the person behind it, we send them a statement of reasons that covers the facts, the rule we applied, whether automated means were involved, and how to ask us to look again. You can appeal any decision by replying to it or writing to privacy@mcp.tc. This doesn’t affect your right to go to court or to an out-of-court dispute settlement body.

Names and trademarks

Product names, logos and trademarks belong to their owners and appear here only to identify the servers. mcp.tc isn’t affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the vendors it lists.

Governing law

These terms are governed by Italian law. If you use the site as a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory rules of the country where you live, and you can bring a claim in its courts.

Changes

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version, and changes apply from that date.
