What can you do with MCP Advisor?

MCP Advisor

An MCP server that lets your AI assistant browse, search, and discover MCP servers from the MCP Advisor registry.

The registry data is a static snapshot of the official MCP registry, refreshed regularly and published to the web. All search and lookup runs locally in the package — there is no account, no tracking, and no backend to depend on.

# Run directly (recommended)
uvx mcp-advisor

# Or install globally
pip install mcp-advisor
