My Must-Have MCP Servers#

Beyond skills — I love using these. Skills teach Claude HOW to do things. MCP gives it ACCESS to the outside world. These three changed my workflow.

Tavily#

https://github.com/tavily-ai/tavily-mcp

Context7#

Injects up-to-date library docs into your LLM's context. No more hallucinated APIs. No more deprecated methods. Just add "use context7" to your prompt. Supports Next.js, React, Supabase, MongoDB, thousands more.

https://github.com/upstash/context7

Task Master AI#

Your AI's project manager. Feed a PRD → structured tasks with dependencies → Claude executes one by one. Turns chaotic sessions into a proper pipeline. Works across Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf.
