MCPNav

Put your MCP server in front of developers

MCPNav is read by developers and technical founders evaluating MCP servers for Claude, Cursor, VS Code and ChatGPT workflows. That is a high-intent audience: people on these pages are choosing tools to install, not scrolling a feed. We offer three placement options — one of them free.

Featured listing

Free — apply

A Featured badge and top placement in your category. We approve a limited number each month based on how useful and maintained the server is — quality bar, not budget. This is the cheapest growth channel you will find: it costs an email.

Sponsor placement

Beta rates

Your server pinned at the top of a category page or the homepage block, clearly labelled Sponsored. Beta pricing starts at $49/month per placement while the directory is in its growth phase — locked for as long as you keep the slot. (For comparison, larger MCP directories charge $399–$1,299/month for equivalent positions; we will get there, but early sponsors shouldn't.)

  • ▸ Top of one category page, or the homepage sponsored card
  • ▸ rel="sponsored" link to your repo or site — labelled, never disguised
  • ▸ Monthly performance note (impressions on your placement page)
  • ▸ Cancel anytime; slots rotate monthly if multiple sponsors queue

Claim your listing

Free — publishers

If you publish an MCP server that is listed here, claim the page for free: you get a Verified badge and can correct the description, icon and links. See the claim page for how verification works.

What we will not do

  • ▸ Sell inclusion. Listing is free; payment never decides whether a server appears.
  • ▸ Disguise ads as editorial content. Paid placements are labelled, always.
  • ▸ Take money for removing or suppressing a listing.

FAQ

How much traffic does MCPNav get?

MCPNav is a young, fast-growing directory: thousands of server pages indexed, impressions growing month over month, with an developer-heavy, desktop-first audience. We are deliberately pricing below market while traffic compounds — early sponsors lock beta rates for life.

Are sponsored links dofollow?

Placement links use the rel="sponsored" attribute as Google requires for paid placements. This keeps the directory trustworthy for everyone — including your users.

Can I get listed for free?

Yes. Listing is and always will be free — every server from the public MCP Registry can have a page. Submit yours and it enters the normal pipeline. Paid options only affect placement and presentation, never inclusion.

How do you mark paid placements?

Every paid or sponsored placement carries a visible 'Sponsored' or 'Featured' label. No exceptions, no disguised ads.
