Description

This PR adds the MCP Development Toolkit — a suite of 5 open-source developer tools for the MCP ecosystem — to the community projects page.

Tools Added (under new "Developer Tools" section)

  • mcp-probe — CLI to probe/inspect any MCP server and discover its tools, resources, and prompts
  • mcp-guard — Security scanner with 10 rules and risk scoring 0-100
  • mcp-compliance-lite — 14 spec conformance checks across 4 categories
  • mcpindex — Aggregate and search MCP servers from any source
  • mcp-factory — Scaffold complete MCP server projects with one command

All tools are MIT licensed, installable via pip, and designed to work together as a complete MCP development workflow.

Motivation

The existing categories (Browsers, Registry Clients, Registry Implementations, Other) didn't have a clear home for developer-oriented tools. I added a "Developer Tools" subsection to give these and future developer-focused projects a natural place in the list.

Thanks for putting these together! 🙏 (Note: this duplicates #1424 — I've closed that one so we can consolidate the discussion here.)

This list is scoped specifically to projects related to the MCP Registry — things that browse, implement, publish to, aggregate, or otherwise build on the registry itself (see the intro line and existing sections). Applying that criterion tool-by-tool:

  • mcpindex — ✅ in scope: it aggregates and searches MCP servers from registries, which is the same category as the browsers/aggregators already listed.
  • mcp-probe, mcp-guard, mcp-compliance-lite, mcp-factory — these are general MCP developer tools with no registry touchpoint, so they're out of scope for this particular list.

Could you narrow this PR down to a single mcpindex entry under the existing Other section (rather than a new "Developer Tools" section)? Something like:

- [mcpindex](https://github.com/alvabillwu/mcpindex) - Searchable index and discovery tool for MCP servers — aggregate from any registry, dedupe/merge, relevance-search

Happy to merge once it's trimmed to that. Thanks again! 🙏
