MCP server categories
18 categories covering 29,756 Model Context Protocol servers. Four are featured because they carry commercial integrations that few catalogues document properly: marketing and ads, content and CMS, ecommerce and payments, and SEO and analytics. The rest span databases, developer tools, cloud infrastructure, communication, security, finance and automation platforms.
The MCP Registry publishes no categories and its roadmap places them permanently out of scope, so every category here is assigned by this catalogue, by matching known product names and topic keywords in each server entry. A server appears in one category only, chosen by the strongest match.
