AllMCPs Server vs Public Browser
A side-by-side look at the AllMCPs Server and Public Browser MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose AllMCPs Server for aggregators work over a hosted endpoint; choose Public Browser for browser automation as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
Which MCP server should you choose?
Choose AllMCPs Server when
- You need dedicated capabilities in the Aggregators domain.
- You prefer a remote HTTP/SSE transport.
- Its auth model fits you: No auth required.
- You have the keys it needs:
ALLMCPS_MCP_URL. - You want tools like
search_mcp_servers, get_mcp_install_config, get_mcp_alternatives.
Choose Public Browser when

- You prefer a local stdio subprocess transport.
- You want tools like
virtual_desk, view_page, click.

AllMCPs Server tools 13
search_mcp_serversSearch the AllMCPs directory for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers by keyword or category.get_mcp_install_configGet setup for one MCP server by ID: the config for every major client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Cline, Zed, Codex, Gemini CLI, JetBrains, Roo Code, Continue, LM Studio) plus its documentation. Pass `client` for just one.get_mcp_alternativesList alternative MCP servers to a given server ID — same category, ranked by fit and evidence that they work.compare_mcp_serversCompare 2 to 4 MCP servers side by side: transport, install command, evidence they work, tool count and source, health, GitHub stars, last commit and quality score.recommend_mcp_stackRecommend a small stack of complementary MCP servers for a role or workflow (e.g. "fullstack web app", "data science", "devops on AWS"), drawn from a live directory search.list_mcp_categoriesList all categories available in the AllMCPs directory along with server counts.get_boost_pricingGet pricing and features for boosting / featuring an MCP server on AllMCPs.com.boost_mcp_serverInitiate a sponsorship / boost order for an MCP server by ID, returning a Stripe checkout session URL and x402 invoice.get_boost_statusCheck current boost status, verified badge level, and sponsorship expiration for an MCP server by ID.submit_mcp_serverProgrammatically submit a new MCP server repository to AllMCPs.com for indexing and review. Supports the same optional enrichment fields as the human submission form — fill in whichever you can confidently determine from the repository (README, package.json, code) to produce a fully flushed-out listing. Omit anything you are not confident about rather than guessing; all enrichment fields are optional and unrecognized enum values are simply dropped, not rejected.verify_mcp_claimVerify ownership and claim an MCP server listing by checking GitHub README badge, website badge, or DNS TXT record. Works two ways: (1) fully unattended — pass `agentToken` from confirm_mcp_agent (or set an `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header if your client supports it), no human sign-in needed; or (2) if called with neither, requires the caller to already have an active AllMCPs browser session. Unattended agents should use register_mcp_agent + confirm_mcp_agent first.register_mcp_agentStart unattended-agent registration: emails a 6-digit confirmation code to the given address. Follow up with confirm_mcp_agent to exchange the code for a bearer token, which unlocks verify_mcp_claim (and future privileged tools) without ever needing a human to sign in via browser.- +1 more on the listing page
Public Browser tools 25
virtual_deskList all open tabs with IDs, URLs and state. Call it first in every session, after a reconnect, or when unsure; reuse a listed tab ID instead of opening duplicates. Cheap, call liberally.view_pageSee what is on the page: text plus stable element refs for click/type/fill_form. Default filter 'interactive' lists actionable elements; for paragraphs or table cells call view_page(ref, filter: 'all'). Collapsed containers show as [eXX role, N items] — expand with view_page(ref: 'eXX', filter: 'all').clickClick an element by ref, CSS selector, visible text, or viewport x/y (canvas, pixel-precise targets). Dispatches real CDP mouse events. A click that opens a new tab is reported in the response. The DOM diff (NEW/REMOVED/CHANGED) arrives with the next page action, or here with wait_for_diff: true.typeType text into an input identified by ref or CSS selector. For 2+ fields use fill_form; for special keys (Enter, Escape, Tab, arrows) or shortcuts (Ctrl+K) use press_key.fill_formFill a whole form in one call: text inputs, <select> (by value or visible label), checkboxes (boolean) and radio buttons. One round-trip; partial errors do not abort and each field reports its own status. On per-field errors call view_page and retry the failing fields.press_keyPress a key or shortcut (Enter, Escape, Tab, arrows, Ctrl+K). Optionally focus an element first via ref or selector.scrollScroll the page, a container, or an element into view. Reports the position and content growth (scrollHeight delta — detects lazy-loaded content) and handles settle timing. Use container_ref/container_selector plus direction to scroll inside a container.dragDrag a source onto a target: HTML5 drag-and-drop (draggable lists, SortableJS, React DnD) and mouse drags (sliders, canvas, resize handles). Scrolls the source into view; says when no page reaction was detected. Source: from_ref/from_selector or from_x+from_y; target: to_ref/to_selector or to_x+to_y.navigateNavigate the active tab to a URL, or action 'back' / 'reload' (all refs become stale after reload). Waits for settle. Overwrites the user's active tab — check virtual_desk first; the first call per session is redirected to virtual_desk.switch_tabOpen a new tab, switch to a tab by ID (from virtual_desk), or close one. Prefer 'open' over navigate when the user's active tab must stay untouched. Refs from the previous tab are invalid afterwards — call view_page before acting.tab_statusActive tab's cached URL, title, ready state and errors — a cheap mid-workflow sanity check ('did my click navigate?'). Not for tab discovery or page content.wait_forWait until a condition holds: element visible, page text present, URL match, network idle, or a JS expression true. Prefer condition 'text' over a JS expression for 'has the page said X yet'. assert: true checks once and fails instead of waiting.- +13 more on the listing page

Frequently asked questions
AllMCPs Server is categorized under Aggregators and uses a remote HTTP/SSE transport. Public Browser belongs to Browser Automation and uses a local stdio subprocess. Pick AllMCPs Server for aggregators work and Public Browser for browser automation.
Copy the mcpServers block from the config section on this page into your client's config (for example claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json), then fully restart the client.
AllMCPs Server is listed as free. Auth: no auth required. Public Browser has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. If a server needs environment variables such as API keys, define them under the env key in your client's MCP config.
Yes. MCP clients support multiple servers: add allmcps-server and public-browser as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
