Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

mcp-discover

Discover, search, and inspect MCP servers — and generate .well-known/mcp.json capability documents.

Fills the top-4 capability discovery gap in the MCP 2026 roadmap.

npx mcp-discover search email
npx mcp-discover tools @notionhq/notion-mcp-server

Why

The MCP ecosystem is growing fast but fragmented. There's no way to find what servers exist or understand what they do without manually connecting to each one.

The MCP 2026 roadmap identifies capability discovery as a top-4 priority. No tool existed to solve it. mcp-discover changes that.

Commands

search

Find MCP servers by keyword across the entire npm ecosystem.

npx mcp-discover search email
npx mcp-discover search github
npx mcp-discover search   # list all

tools

See every tool a server exposes — without reading any docs.

npx mcp-discover tools @notionhq/notion-mcp-server

Checks for a published .well-known/mcp.json first. If not found, offers to temporarily install and inspect the server, then caches the result so you never wait twice.

generate

Connect to a live server and generate its .well-known/mcp.json.

npx mcp-discover generate --command mcp-server-everything
npx mcp-discover generate --url http://localhost:3001/mcp

validate

Check an existing mcp.json against the schema.

npx mcp-discover validate .well-known/mcp.json

inspect

Show registry details about a specific server.

npx mcp-discover inspect @notionhq/notion-mcp-server

index

Build and cache the local server index manually.

npx mcp-discover index
npx mcp-discover index --refresh

Shortcut

After global install, use mcpd instead of mcp-discover:

npm install -g mcp-discover
mcpd search email
mcpd tools @notionhq/notion-mcp-server
