What is the Collection MCP server?

Visit a method over the items in an object, or map visit over the objects in an array. That is what the collection mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.

The short version

var ctx = { data: {}, set: function (key, value) { if (typeof key === 'object') { visit(ctx, 'set', key); } else { ctx.data[key] = value; } } };

The tools it exposes

The server publishes 3 tools. What each one is for:

  • Contributing — Pull requests and stars are always welcome. For bugs and feature requests, please create an issue
  • Contributors — The Contributors tool exposed by this server
  • Author — The Author tool exposed by this server

Getting it running

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at verbose/verb on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

How it compares

Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Collection's toolset — Contributing, Contributors, Author — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by jonschlinkert; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Things to watch

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Collection to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 3 tools (Contributing, Contributors, Author) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Collection directly.
