Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.
“Use “search_servers”: Search the mcpnav directory of MCP servers by name/description keywords, optionally filtered to one category group. Matches are whole-word,.”
“Use “get_server”: Fetch the full mcpnav record for one server by its slug (from search_servers' results, e.g. "owner/repo"). Call get_connect_config next for.”
“Use “list_groups”: List the category groups servers are organized into, each with its indexable server count.”
“Use “get_connect_config”: Generate a ready-to-paste install snippet for one server's first safe remote endpoint or installable package, in the requested client's form.”
Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how mcpnav directory holds up.
gate scanned 4 tools on Sep 26, 2026 for prompt injection and risky tool definitions — nothing to flag.
Operated by mcpnav directory (mcpnav.dev) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.
This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.
gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.
If mcpnav directory adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.
Add one gateway URL to Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client. One-time setup, about two minutes.
Choose mcpnav directory in the gate directory. No sign-in needed.
mcpnav directory's tools are live in every AI client you've connected — with rules and logging built in.

https://mcp.mcpnav.dev/mcpYes — mcpnav directory operates its own remote MCP server at mcp.mcpnav.dev. gate connects you to that official endpoint and adds security scanning, per-tool access rules, and an activity log on top.
Add gate's gateway URL to your AI client once, then pick mcpnav directory in the directory. No account or sign-in is needed. From then on, mcpnav directory's tools are available in every client you've connected to gate.
No. mcpnav directory runs the server, and gate is fully managed. You just connect one URL — there's nothing to install, deploy, or maintain.
It's the vendor's official endpoint, and gate scans its tools for prompt injection and hidden instructions before it goes live, re-checks it whenever it changes, and lets you allow, block, or require approval for every single tool.
Yes — you can get started with gate for free and connect mcpnav directory in minutes. No credit card required.
Every server below works through the same gateway URL — connect once, add tools anytime.
