Directory

ContexaAI’s MCP Server Directory is your launchpad to production-ready integrations: a searchable catalog of verified servers—from GitHub and Slack to Supabase and hundreds of other APIs—that you can deploy with a single click. Instead of reading specs, cloning repos, and wiring up credentials by hand, you pick a server, review its manifest, and Contexa handles the rest: hosting, scaling, auth, and versioning. This section explains what the directory is, why we curate it, and what happens under the hood when you press Deploy.

Because every server implements the open Model Context Protocol, anything you deploy here is immediately callable from AI clients that speak MCP—such as Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Microsoft Copilot Studio, Claude Desktop, and Gemini CLI—with no code changes.

How deployment works

Let us walk you through an example to deploy your first MCP server

Navigate: After logging in, click the Home icon to open the Directory. Use search or filters (category, language, publisher) to find a server.
Inspect: Select a card to see the manifest, sample calls, and required environment variables.
Configure & Deploy: Hit Deploy, give the server an instance name, paste any secrets, and choose a region. Contexa builds the image, provisions infra, and emits a public endpoint (e.g., https://mcp.contexaai.com/v1/4n0lNwENz_PRUHUfPIXC/mcp).
Post deployment: Once deployed, you can view your server from the MCP servers tab from your navigation panel. You can start using your server in any MCP compatible client by copying the configuration or you can start chatting with your server using Contexa’s in-built chat client.
