mcp-openapi-schema-explorer
MCP server providing token-efficient access to OpenAPI/Swagger specs via MCP Resources for client-side exploration.
MCP OpenAPI Schema Explorer is an MCP server providing token-efficient access to OpenAPI/Swagger specs via MCP Resources for client-side exploration. It allows clients to explore large OpenAPI specifications without loading the entire file into an LLM's context window by exposing parts of the specification through MCP Resource Templates. The server supports loading specifications from local file paths and remote HTTP/HTTPS URLs, and converts Swagger v2.0 specifications to OpenAPI v3.0 upon loading. This approach enables dynamic access to specific parts of the specification without pre-enumerating all possible values.
Criteria breakdown
- MCP Resource Templates for parameterized access
- Support for local file paths and remote HTTP/HTTPS URLs
- Automatic conversion of Swagger v2.0 to OpenAPI v3.0
- Dynamic access to specific parts of the specification

Jira MCP is a Go-based Model Control Protocol (MCP) connector for Jira that enables AI assistants to interact with Atlassian Jira. It provides a seamless interface for AI models to perform common tasks such as issue management, search, sprint management, status and transition tracking, comments, worklogs, history and audit, issue relationships, and version management. The MCP server is designed to solve real problems arising in modern software development, with tools such as retrieving detailed information about an issue, creating new issues, modifying existing issues, listing issue types, searching for issues, and more. It is an opinionated MCP server built from years of real-world software development experience, crafted to meet the daily workflows of engineers and automation QC teams.
Criteria breakdown
- Issue Management: jira_get_issue, jira_create_issue, jira_create_child_issue, jira_update_issue, jira_list_issue_types
- Search: jira_search_issue
- Sprint Management: jira_list_sprints, jira_get_sprint, jira_get_active_sprint, jira_search_sprint_by_name
- Status & Transitions: jira_list_statuses, jira_transition_issue
- Comments: jira_add_comment, jira_get_comments
- Worklogs: jira_add_worklog

JupyterMCP connects Jupyter Notebook to Claude AI through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling AI-assisted code execution, data analysis, visualization, and more. This integration allows Claude to directly interact with and control Jupyter Notebooks. It's compatible only with Jupyter Notebook version 6.x and consists of three main components: a WebSocket server, a client JavaScript, and an MCP server.
Criteria breakdown
- Two-way communication through a WebSocket-based server
- Cell manipulation (insert, execute, manage)
- Notebook management (save, retrieve information)
- Cell execution (run specific cells or all cells)
- Output retrieval with text limitation options

The Neon MCP Server is an open-source tool that enables interaction with Neon Postgres databases using natural language. It acts as a bridge between natural language requests and the Neon API, translating requests into necessary API calls for tasks such as creating projects and branches, running queries, and performing database migrations. The server is built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and allows users to manage database tasks without writing SQL or directly using the Neon API. It's suitable for users with varying technical backgrounds, including non-developers. However, it's intended for local development and IDE integrations, not recommended for production environments due to potential security risks. The setup options include quick setup with API key, remote MCP server with OAuth-based authentication, and remote MCP server with API key-based authentication.
Criteria breakdown
- Natural language interaction
- Simplified database management
- Accessibility for non-developers
- Database migration support
- Integration with Neon API
