Frequently Asked Questions

What are MCP servers?+

MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers are integrations that allow AI assistants like Claude and Cursor to connect to external tools, databases, and APIs through a standardized protocol.

What's the difference between HTTP and STDIO transport?+

HTTP/SSE: Remote servers accessible over the internet. Can be tested instantly with MCP Playground.
STDIO: Local servers that run on your machine. Faster performance and work offline.

Are these MCP servers free to use?+

Most MCP servers are free and open source. Some require accounts or API keys from the underlying service (e.g., Stripe account for Stripe MCP).

How do I test an MCP server?+

For HTTP servers, use MCP Playground — just paste the URL and connect. For STDIO servers, install them locally first.

Can I use multiple MCP servers at once?+

Yes! Add each server as a separate entry in your configuration. Your AI assistant will have access to all tools from all connected servers.

What are MCP Apps launched in January 2026?+

On January 26, 2026, Anthropic launched MCP Apps — an extension to the Model Context Protocol that lets MCP servers render interactive UIs (dashboards, forms, charts) directly inside Claude's chat window. Launch partners include Amplitude, Asana, Box, Canva, Clay, Figma, Hex, Monday.com, Slack, and Salesforce. This means you can build charts in Amplitude or update Asana tasks without leaving Claude.

What is Context7 MCP and why is it useful?+

Context7 is a remote MCP server that fetches live, version-specific documentation from official library sources and injects it into your AI prompts. Just add "use context7" to any prompt and Claude gets accurate, up-to-date code examples for React, Next.js, Vue, and hundreds of other frameworks — eliminating hallucinated APIs.

What are the Memory and Sequential Thinking MCP servers?+

Memory: An official Anthropic server that maintains a persistent knowledge graph of entities and relationships across conversations — so Claude can remember context between sessions.

Sequential Thinking: Guides Claude through structured reasoning chains, ideal for architectural decisions, debugging, and multi-step problem solving. Both are installed via npx.
