MCP server for Exa's neural search API. Provides AI agents with powerful web search capabilities using embeddings-based semantic search. Returns clean, parsed content from web pages with relevance scoring. Supports filtering by domain, date range, and content type for precise information retrieval from the internet.
MCP server for Firecrawl's web scraping and crawling API. Converts any website into clean, LLM-ready markdown or structured data. Supports single page scraping, multi-page crawling with depth control, sitemap-based extraction, and batch operations. Handles JavaScript-rendered pages, bypasses common anti-bot measures, and returns structured content suitable for RAG pipelines and knowledge base construction.
MCP server for searching and accessing arXiv research papers. Enables AI agents to search papers with filters for date ranges and categories, download full paper content, read papers in markdown format, and perform semantic search across locally stored papers. Supports citation graph exploration via Semantic Scholar and research alert watches for tracking new publications on topics of interest.
MCP server for Tavily's AI-optimized search engine. Designed specifically for LLM agents and RAG applications, providing concise, factual search results with source attribution. Supports general web search, news search, and direct Q&A extraction. Returns pre-processed content optimized for AI consumption with relevance scoring and content deduplication.
MCP server that fetches transcripts, captions, and metadata from YouTube videos so AI agents can summarize, search, and analyze video content without watching it. Supports multiple languages, timestamped segments, and channel/playlist lookups for research and content workflows.
MCP server that provides access to Wikipedia content. Lets AI agents search articles, fetch full or summarized page content, and resolve references, giving models reliable, citable background knowledge for research and question answering.
Community MCP server that provides privacy-friendly web search through DuckDuckGo, plus fetching and parsing of web page content into clean text. Lets AI agents look up current information and retrieve source pages without an API key, making it a lightweight option for research and retrieval workflows. Not affiliated with DuckDuckGo.
Skills vs MCP servers
what’s the difference?Skillsthe “what to do”
A skill packages know-how — instructions, an example prompt, and recommended models — so an agent performs a task consistently. Skills add knowledge, not new connections.
MCP serversthe “how to connect”
An MCP server gives an agent new capabilities by connecting it to real systems (databases, APIs, files) over a transport. MCP adds connections and actions, not task instructions.
Rule of thumb: reach for a skill when you need the model to do a task well, and an MCP server when you need it to reach a tool or system. They compose — a skill can rely on tools an MCP server provides.
