What it asks for

None of the marketplaces we read publishes its tools or the settings it asks for.
What it declares, asks for and runs, in full
Only install plugins from developers you trust. We list what marketplaces publish and do not test plugins.
Connect
Commands and configs built only from what its marketplaces declare. We do not run them for you and do not test plugins.
As a local MCP server: npm package
Built from what Official MCP Registry declares.
claude mcp add --transport stdio pdf-reader-mcp -- npx -y @sylphx/pdf-reader-mcp[mcp_servers.pdf-reader-mcp]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@sylphx/pdf-reader-mcp"]{
"mcpServers": {
"pdf-reader-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@sylphx/pdf-reader-mcp"
]
}
}
}We do not store launch arguments. If the server needs any, its own documentation names them.

Found by meaning, not by shared code or a shared repository: similar plugins stay separate products, and this is not a review or a recommendation.
Compared side by side
Is this your plugin?
Prove you maintain it with a file in its repository, a file on your domain or a DNS record. You get alerts when a marketplace lists it, drops it, changes its verified mark or what it asks for, and can put its remote endpoint on monitoring as a web service.
Data comes from the Official MCP Registry (registry.modelcontextprotocol.io), CC0 1.0. Figures come from our own regular passes over the marketplaces, last read on . We publish no contact details for plugin publishers.
