This makes them much more useful by allowing them to do things like run code, manage files, and interact with APIs.<\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/mcp-guide-ai-tool-integration\/\">my previous article<\/a>, we looked at how MCP works, how to install it, and how to use a few MCP servers. In this article, we\u2019ll explore more MCP servers, this time focusing on tools that can help developers save time and work more efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll continue using <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/claude.ai\/download\">Claude<\/a> to run the MCP servers as it has MCP capabilities built-in, is easy to install, and is compatible with major platforms.<\/p>\n<p>So, let\u2019s dive in!<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>1. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/21st-dev\/magic-mcp\">21st.dev Magic<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><strong>21st.dev Magic<\/strong> is an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/best-ai-tools-for-git-commit-messages\/\">AI powered tool<\/a> that allows you to build modern UI components just by describing them in plain language. It works with popular editors like <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cursor.com\">Cursor<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/windsurf.com\/editor\">Windsurf<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/code.visualstudio.com\">VS Code<\/a> (with <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cline.bot\">Cline<\/a>), as well as <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/claude.ai\">Claude<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So you can just type what you need, and it will instantly create ready-to-use code. This makes building UI prototypes faster and easier, with less manual work.<\/p>\n<figure>\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/mcp-servers-development-tools\/21stdev.jpg\" alt=\"21st.dev Magic UI component builder\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\">\n    <\/figure>\n<h4>Installation<\/h4>\n<p>To get started, first create an account at <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/21st.dev\">21st.dev<\/a> to get your API key. Once you\u2019ve signed up, you can find your API key on the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/21st.dev\/api-access\">API Access<\/a> page.<\/p>\n<p>To install the MCP server, add the following configuration and replace <code>[api-key]<\/code> with your own API key.<\/p>\n<pre>\r\n{\r\n    \"mcpServers\": {\r\n        \"@21st-dev\/magic\": {\r\n            \"command\": \"npx\",\r\n            \"args\": [\r\n                \"-y\",\r\n                \"@21st-dev\/magic@latest\",\r\n                \"API_KEY=\\\"[api-key]\\\"\",\r\n            ]\r\n        }\r\n    }\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\n<h4>Example Prompts<\/h4>\n<p>When sending a prompt to trigger 21st Magic MCP, it\u2019s best to start your prompt with code <code>\/ui<\/code>, for example:<\/p>\n<pre><strong>\/ui create a signup form<\/strong><\/pre>\n<p>After sending the prompt, you will receive the code for the signup form, usually with some variants. You can then copy and paste this code into your editor to use it.<\/p>\n<figure>\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/mcp-servers-development-tools\/prompts-21st-signup-form.jpg\" alt=\"21st Magic signup form example\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\">\n    <\/figure>\n<p>We can improve our prompt by giving it more detailed instructions, for example:<\/p>\n<pre><strong>\/ui create a pricing table component with two plans: Free and Pro. Each plan should include a signup button at the bottom.<\/strong><\/pre>\n<p>It\u2019s smart enough to understand the instruction and generates pricing tables with just two plans, as shown below, and even provides some variants.<\/p>\n<figure>\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/mcp-servers-development-tools\/prompts-21st-pricing-table.jpg\" alt=\"21st Magic pricing table example\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\">\n    <\/figure>\n<p>This is a great MCP server for any designers or developers to create prototypes. It can help you create UI components quickly and easily.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>2. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/modelcontextprotocol\/servers\/tree\/main\/src\/filesystem\">Filesystem<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>Filesystem MCP<\/strong> Server allows an AI assistant to work with your local filesystem to read, write, and manage files. With this setup, the AI can do things like create folders, move files, or check file details. This makes it easier to automate everyday file tasks and boost your productivity.<\/p>\n<h4>Installation<\/h4>\n<pre>\r\n{\r\n    \"mcpServers\": {\r\n        \"filesystem\": {\r\n            \"command\": \"npx\",\r\n            \"args\": [\r\n                \"-y\",\r\n                \"@modelcontextprotocol\/server-filesystem\",\r\n                \"\/Users\/tfirdaus\/Desktop\"\r\n            ]\r\n        }\r\n    }\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\n<h4>Example Prompts<\/h4>\n<p>Let\u2019s first try with a simple prompt:<\/p>\n<pre><strong>how many files are there in my Desktop directory?<\/strong><\/pre>\n<figure>\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/mcp-servers-development-tools\/prompts-filesystem.jpg\" alt=\"Filesystem MCP file count example\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\">\n    <\/figure>\n<p>As we can see above, it\u2019s smart enough to give us the count and details about the files.<\/p>\n<p>You can even take it a step further by giving more detailed instructions. For example, let\u2019s say your Downloads folder is cluttered with all kinds of files and folders. You could ask it to find all the directories that appear to be WordPress plugins with the following prompt:<\/p>\n<pre><strong>find and list all the directories that appear to contain a WordPress plugin. A typical plugin folder includes a readme.txt file and several .php files.<\/strong><\/pre>\n<hr>\n<h2>3. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/benborla\/mcp-server-mysql\">MySQL<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>MySQL MCP Server<\/strong> allows an AI assistant to connect to a MySQL database so it can run SQL queries, manage database connections, and fetch data. This integration makes it easier to retrieve information using natural language commands.<\/p>\n<h4>Installation<\/h4>\n<p>To install this server, you need to make sure that you have access to MySQL installed either on your machine or on a remote server. Then add the following:<\/p>\n<pre>\r\n{\r\n    \"mcpServers\": {\r\n        \"mysql\": {\r\n            \"command\": \"npx\",\r\n            \"args\": [\r\n                \"-y\",\r\n                \"@benborla29\/mcp-server-mysql\"\r\n            ],\r\n            \"env\": {\r\n                \"MYSQL_HOST\": \"127.0.0.1\",\r\n                \"MYSQL_PORT\": \"3306\",\r\n                \"MYSQL_USER\": \"[your-mysql-username]\",\r\n                \"MYSQL_PASS\": \"[your-mysql-password]\",\r\n                \"MYSQL_DB\": \"your_database\",\r\n                \"ALLOW_INSERT_OPERATION\": \"false\",\r\n                \"ALLOW_UPDATE_OPERATION\": \"false\",\r\n                \"ALLOW_DELETE_OPERATION\": \"false\",\r\n                \"PATH\": \"\/Users\/[username]\/.nvm\/versions\/node\/v22.14.0\/bin:\/usr\/bin:\/bin\",\r\n                \"NODE_PATH\": \"\/Users\/[username]\/.nvm\/versions\/node\/v22.14.0\/lib\/node_modules\"\r\n            }\r\n        }\r\n    }\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>Make sure to replace <code>[your-mysql-username]<\/code> and <code>[your-mysql-password]<\/code> with your own MySQL username and password. You can also change the <code>MYSQL_DB<\/code> to the database you want to connect to.<\/p>\n<p>As for the <code>PATH<\/code> and the <code>NODE_PATH<\/code>, you can find them by running the following command in your terminal:<\/p>\n<pre>\r\nwhich node\r\n<\/pre>\n<h4>Example Prompts<\/h4>\n<p>To use the MySQL MCP server, you can start by asking it to show you the tables in your database. For example:<\/p>\n<pre><strong>List all the tables from my wordpress database?<\/strong><\/pre>\n<figure>\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/mcp-servers-development-tools\/prompts-mysql-list-table.jpg\" alt=\"MySQL MCP database tables list\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\">\n    <\/figure>\n<p>As shown above, we get a full list of tables. What\u2019s impressive is that the AI even understands and classifies which tables belong to WordPress Core and which ones are from WooCommerce.<\/p>\n<p>We can also ask it to show us specific data. For example:<\/p>\n<pre><strong>Get the ID of all posts where the title starts with \"Hello\"<\/strong><\/pre>\n<p>And we get the results in a nice table, as shown below:<\/p>\n<figure>\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/mcp-servers-development-tools\/prompts-mysql-list-title-like.jpg\" alt=\"MySQL MCP post search results\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\">\n    <\/figure>\n<hr>\n<h2>4. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/modelcontextprotocol\/servers\/tree\/main\/src\/git\">Git<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>Git MCP Server<\/strong> allows an AI assistant to interact with a Git repository directly. It supports operations such as cloning repositories, creating branches, committing changes, and viewing logs. This integration allows you to manage your Git workflows using just natural language commands. No need to remember complex Git commands.<\/p>\n<h4>Installation<\/h4>\n<p>To install this server, you need to have Git installed on your machine. You can check if you have Git installed by running the following command in your terminal:<\/p>\n<pre>\r\ngit --version\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>Then, you will also need to have the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/astral-sh\/uv\">uv<\/a> command installed.<\/p>\n<pre>\r\n{\r\n  \"mcp\": {\r\n    \"servers\": {\r\n      \"git\": {\r\n        \"command\": \"uvx\",\r\n        \"args\": [\"mcp-server-git\"]\r\n      }\r\n    }\r\n  }\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\n<h4>Example Prompts<\/h4>\n<p>Let\u2019s try a simple prompt to check the current branch in a local repository:<\/p>\n<pre><strong>Check the current branch in this repository [path-to-repository]<\/strong><\/pre>\n<figure>\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/mcp-servers-development-tools\/prompts-git-branch.jpg\" alt=\"Git MCP branch status check\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\">\n    <\/figure>\n<p>We can also perform more complex operations, such as reverting the latest commit. For example:<\/p>\n<pre><strong>Revert the latest commit in this repository [path-to-repository]<\/strong><\/pre>\n<figure>\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/mcp-servers-development-tools\/prompts-git-revert.jpg\" alt=\"Git MCP commit revert example\" width=\"1000\" height=\"850\">\n    <\/figure>\n<p>It is smart enough to first check if the Git tree is clean, meaning that there are no uncommitted changes. Then, it will revert the latest commit and show you the commit message.<\/p>\n<p>There are many other Git commands that this MCP server can execute, such as <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/git-scm.com\/docs\/git-checkout\">Git Checkout<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/git-scm.com\/docs\/git-commit\">Commit<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/git-scm.com\/book\/en\/v2\/Git-Branching-Basic-Branching-and-Merging\">Create branch<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/git-scm.com\/docs\/git-add\">Add<\/a>, etc.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>5. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/ckreiling\/mcp-server-docker\">Docker<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>Docker MCP Server<\/strong> is an MCP server that lets you manage Docker using natural language.
