MCP Server Categories for Better Organization
Categories bring order to your MCP server catalog. Filter servers by purpose - Development Tools, Data Sources, AI & ML, Communication, or Productivity - and find exactly what you need without endless scrolling.
Finding the right MCP server just got significantly easier with our new category system. Categories act as organizational labels that group similar servers together, transforming a potentially overwhelming catalog into a well-organized library of tools. Whether you're looking for Development Tools like Git integrations, Data Sources for database connections, or AI & ML services for machine learning workflows, categories help you navigate directly to what you need.
The system works seamlessly across both global community servers and your team's private servers, using a unified category structure managed by Global Administrators. When adding servers to the catalog, simply assign them to the appropriate category - the same familiar pattern you'd use with folders or tags in any modern application. Users can then filter the entire catalog by category, dramatically reducing the time spent searching for specific functionality.
This seemingly simple addition has a profound impact on discoverability. Instead of scrolling through an ever-growing list of servers, you can now jump straight to Communication tools when you need Slack integration, or filter for Productivity servers when setting up task management. Categories make the MCP ecosystem more accessible for new users while helping experienced developers quickly locate specialized tools.
