An official MCP server is built and maintained by the vendor whose system it exposes. A community server does the same job but is maintained by somebody else, which means it can be abandoned, can lag behind API changes, and can disappear without the vendor ever knowing it existed.
Both kinds work. The difference is not quality on the day you install it, it is who is responsible on the day it breaks.
When a vendor changes an endpoint, an official server is updated by the team that made the change. A community server is updated when its author notices, has time, and still cares. Neither outcome is guaranteed, but only one of them has an organisation behind it.
Official means first party and nothing else. A server built by a third party integration platform such as Zapier, Composio or viaSocket is recorded as community no matter how well it works or how large the company behind it is, because the vendor whose data is being exposed did not write it and does not maintain it. That rule is applied to every entry without exception.
144 entries are official. 21 are community. 117 had no server found at all, and 7 could not be settled either way and are published as unknown rather than guessed into a bucket.
Community servers cluster. Video Prospecting alone accounts for 6 of the 21, against 3 official servers in that category, which is the one place in this data where the community outbuilt the vendors.
The 21 community servers in this directory are listed with their URLs and their auth models, and every one links to the entry it came from.
Every number on this page is generated from directory.json at build time and carries the date it was baked: 2026-08-25. Nothing is typed by hand, nothing is rounded, and nothing is estimated. The underlying data is published in full. Where the honest answer is a zero, the zero is printed.
