# MCP Reference Servers

> The modelcontextprotocol/servers repository is the official set of reference MCP implementations, now trimmed to about seven servers (Everything, Fetch, Filesystem, Git, Memory, Sequential Thinking, Time) with the rest moved to servers-archived; the README directs users to registry.modelcontextprotocol.io for discovery, and it is mid-transition from MIT to Apache-2.0 for new contributions.

The official reference MCP server collection maintained by the MCP steering group.
