FAQ

What are the best MCP servers for Cursor?

These are the 20 highest-signal Cursor servers from a directory of 2805, ranked by stars, maintenance recency and what our automated scan returned. Nobody here has used them: this is a sort, not a review. DBHub is top of the list.

How do I install these MCP servers?

Each server page includes one-click install commands for Claude Code, Cursor, and VS Code. Click on any server above to see its install instructions.

Are these MCP servers safe to use?

No. 2,316 of the 2,805 servers here were shallow-cloned and put through five keyword searches in March 2026; 489 were never scanned at all. A green badge means those five searches matched nothing, which is not the same as safe — a grep cannot follow a variable or tell you what a server does once it is running. Read what the scan actually checks at /mcp/security, and read the source before you run anything.

Use the shortlist, then open a concrete workflow

Best-of pages are useful for narrowing options. The next practical move is a specific server detail page or a focused browser-first tool route.
