Methodology
GitHub repos tagged mcp-server or mcp-servers (not forks/archived), sorted by stars, top 40. "In official registry" = the repo URL appears as the repository of a latest-version entry in the official MCP Registry (registry unreachable on this run); "No" may also mean the server is listed under a different URL. Some repos are lists or tools around MCP rather than a single server; descriptions are the repos' own.
