mcp.hosting offers one-click install of pre-built community MCP servers. DataFaucet generates custom MCP servers from any web app. One gives you a catalog. The other lets you create what the catalog doesn't have.

Need an MCP server for a tool that's not in any catalog?
DataFaucet generates one from any web app in 60 seconds. No pre-built server required.
mcp.hosting is a hosting platform for existing MCP servers. If someone has already built an MCP server for the tool you need (GitHub, Slack, Notion, etc.), you can install it with one click and get a hosted endpoint. Fast, simple, no configuration beyond entering your API credentials.
DataFaucet creates MCP servers that don't exist yet. Point it at any web app, interact with it in a browser, and it captures the API traffic into a hosted MCP server. This works for internal tools, niche SaaS apps, admin panels, and anything without a pre-built server in any catalog.
They're complementary: use mcp.hosting for popular tools with well-maintained community servers. Use DataFaucet for everything else, especially internal tools and apps that will never get a community-built server.
Watch DataFaucet capture endpoints and deploy a working server. Takes 60 seconds.
Free tier. 3 servers. No credit card required.
