mcp radar

a small github pages site that publishes an auto-updating servers.json.

• site: github pages (static)
• data: regenerated daily by github actions

what it is

• a directory you can browse
• a json endpoint other people can consume

data sources

• best-of mcp servers: https://github.com/tolkonepiu/best-of-mcp-servers
• (optional enrichment) mcp servers hub: https://github.com/apappascs/mcp-servers-hub

how to publish

1. create a new github repo (suggested: mcp-radar)
2. push this folder to the repo
3. enable github pages:
   • settings -> pages -> build and deployment
   • source: deploy from a branch
   • branch: main / root
4. wait for the scheduled action to generate data/servers.json

how it updates

• workflow: .github/workflows/update.yml
• script: scripts/update_data.py

monetization paths (non-spammy)

a static site can still make money if it has distribution.

• sponsorship slots

  • keep 3 small sponsor cards in data/sponsors.json
  • sell them as monthly placements (fixed price)

• paid curation

  • offer a “top 20 mcp servers for x” curated pack (pdf + config snippets)
  • link to a checkout (gumroad/stripe)

• paid alerts

  • free: the directory
  • paid: a weekly email of new/trending servers + your notes
  • use any newsletter provider; the site is just the landing page

local dev

open index.html in a browser.

notes

• github pages is static. the ‘service’ here is the data + the update pipeline.
• avoid scraping too aggressively. the workflow uses the built-in GITHUB_TOKEN for github api calls.
