rizzdev/awesome-mcp-open is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server.
Model Context Protocol servers you can actually run yourself.
I kept running into the same thing: I'd find a promising MCP server, wire it up, and only then realize it was just a shell around some company's paid API. Cancel the subscription and it's a brick. Most of the big MCP lists are full of these.
So I started keeping my own list, and this is it. Only servers you can actually run yourself. Open source, self-hosted, your data stays on your machine. If a tool only works by calling home to someone else's cloud, it's not here. That's the whole rule, and everything below has been checked against it by hand.
- 🔍 Search & Web - 🌐 Browser Automation - 🗄️ Databases - 📊 Data & Analytics - 🛠️ Developer Tools
- 🚢 DevOps & Infra - ☁️ Cloud & Deploy - 💳 Payments & Finance - 🎨 Design & Media - 🧠 Memory
- 📋 Productivity & Tasks - 💬 Communication - 📣 Social - 🗺️ Maps & Location - 🔒 Security
A server has to clear three bars. Miss one and it's out, however good it is otherwise.
- Self-hostable. You run it, and nothing in the request path has to touch a vendor's servers. - Open source. A real FOSS license, so you can read the code before you give it access to anything. - No lock-in. It keeps working without a paid backend, and your data isn't stuck on someone else's box.
Plenty gets left out on purpose. Cloud-only servers you can't run. Projects under source-available licenses that aren't really open (n8n's is the usual example). Clients that do nothing until you pay for an API. Mostly good software, just not what I'm collecting here.
