protogrid MCP
An official MCP server provided by protogrid that allows agents to search a registry of 57,835 MCP servers by intent, retrieve connection descriptors, and verify server quality and trust scores without holding user credentials.
Endpoint and access
No sign-in to connect and list tools. Individual tools may still need a vendor account, credentials, or permissions; check the documented prerequisites.
https://api.protogrid.dev/mcpWhat its tools do
5 tools, grouped by the hints the server advertises. Hints are self-declared, not verified behavior.
Read-only (4)
Can change data (1)
Checks and signals
Each line is separate evidence, not a trust score.
- Passed Endpoint answered the live check ·
- Passed Official MCP Registry namespace is tied to protogrid.dev ·
- Passed Endpoint is on the registry namespace domain ·
- Availability 1 of 1 checks passed in 30 days
What you can do with it
- Search for MCP servers by intent
- Retrieve connection configurations for agents
- Verify server quality and trust scores
- Check if a server needs authentication

search — Search MCP servers by intent
Hybrid (keyword + semantic) search over servers and their tools. Filter by connection class to keep only what you can reach autonomously (R0, R1).

}Let your agent find its tools
Find servers like protogrid MCP from your agent. Add Koskamo once to search the index for endpoints, access requirements, and client setup. Public discovery needs no key.

Do you run protogrid MCP?
Prove ownership with a DNS record, a well-known file, or your Official MCP Registry entry, and your edits publish immediately. Proofs are re-checked weekly; admins can still hide or remove a listing.
