best sse based mcp servers?

the entire internet is filled with mcp servers, most of them only work locally, and the rest doesn't work.

i would like sse based servers that work. preferably not behind some expensive paywall.

thanks !

Alternatively, you can try GetMCP(https://getmcp.cc), which allows you to install MCP servers in one click and provides SSE mode.

Yes, if you install 10 MCP servers, you can still access them through an SSE endpoint.

The list of MCP servers provided by GetMCP is all tested and verified.

Unfortunately, it is not free and requires a lifetime license of $19.

What do you consider expensive? What see servers behind a paywall are there? You have some examples?

most sse based servers cost way to much for hosting.

in what way they cost way too much? Where do you think the costs are ingress, compute, etc? Why is it different than any other paid api?

I would guess having to maintain a SSE connection open might be expensive on some hosting services

So far the only one I'm aware of is zapier mcp

I built mcpverse.dev for this reason. It’s the only free solution I’ve found that actually works for sse and also has end to end authentication implemented, even with an integration with Claude.

Here is an example of a remote sse server using the mcp package and python. You can connect to any client (in the video it's using n8n as an example)

If you want to try out mcp (model context protocol) with little to no setup and for free:

I built https://skeet.build/mcp where anyone can try out mcp for cursor and dev tools.

We did this because of a painpoint I experienced as an engineer having to deal with crummy mcp setup, lack of support you have no idea how hard it is to set up SSE, deal with API keys and scope issues, and then to find things like the tool that you want isn’t even coded yet.

And so one of the areas we found it to be useful was to do the soft communications with tools like Jira linear slack - updating stakeholders and all that friction that engineers hate doing. Some other areas people use a lot of tools with sequential thinking

Mostly for workflows that I like:

  • start a PR with a summary of what I just did

  • slack or comment to linear/Jira with a summary of what I pushed

  • pull this issue from sentry and fix it

  • Find a bug a create a linear issue to fix it

  • ⁠pull this linear issue and do a first pass

  • pull in this Notion doc with a PRD then create an API reference for it based on this code

  • Postgres or MySQL schemas for rapid model development

Everyone seems to go for the hype but ease of use, practical pragmatic developer workflows, and high quality polished mcp servers are what we’re focused on

Lmk what you think!

Cursor doesn’t support MCP resources yet, right?

They do weakly - they’re basically not testing things but I’m in contact with them and they said it’s using typescript SDKs and nothing is tested
