How this list is built
Most "best MCP server" lists are somebody's handwritten opinion from six months ago. This one is generated from the same daily-collected dataset that powers the rest of this site, so when a project stops being maintained it drops off without anyone editing this page.
Two filters decide who appears. First, an adoption floor of 200 GitHub stars — a "best" list that includes projects nobody uses is padding. Second, the project must be classified as marketing or commerce and still be actively maintained; archived and stalled repos are excluded outright.
Whatever survives both filters is ordered by TrustScore, our five-dimension score over public signals (maintenance 30%, adoption 25%, usability 20%, health 15%, community 10%). The full weighting and every input field is published on our editorial policy page — you can disagree with the formula, but you can check it.
One caveat worth stating plainly: TrustScore measures maintenance and adoption, not security and not fitness for your use case. A high score means the project is alive and used, not that it is safe to point at your production CRM. Do your own review before connecting anything that holds customer data.

8 of 79 actively-maintained servers in these categories cleared the 200-star adoption floor, ordered by TrustScore. Regenerated daily from public GitHub, npm and registry signals — see our editorial policy for the full weighting. ✓ means we installed it in a sandbox and confirmed it starts.
How to choose between them
Start from the system that owns your data rather than from the server list. If your pipeline lives in HubSpot, a HubSpot server beats a higher-scoring generic one every time — the integration you don't have to build is worth more than a few TrustScore points.
For ads and analytics work, check whether the server exposes write operations or is read-only. Read-only analytics servers (pulling GA4 reports, for example) are low-risk and a reasonable first thing to connect. Anything that can spend money — creating campaigns, adjusting budgets — deserves a scoped API key and a hard look at what the tools actually do.
For payments, the calculus is different again: prefer official vendor servers over community reimplementations. Stripe and Shopify publish their own, and a payments integration is not where you want a well-meaning third-party wrapper sitting between you and the API.
Check the client compatibility section on each server's detail page before you commit. Most of these run locally over stdio and work with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code, but the remote-only ones need a client that supports HTTP transport.
What this list deliberately leaves out
Servers under 200 stars, even well-built ones. The threshold is arbitrary but it has to be somewhere, and below it the signal from adoption gets too thin to rank on.
Anything archived or without a commit in a long time, regardless of how popular it once was. A dead payments integration is worse than no integration.
Two servers that our classifier tagged as commerce but which are not business tools at all — a trading-memory server and an API gateway. The classifier matches keywords in project descriptions, so "unified billing" and "trading" both trip the commerce rule. We exclude them by hand rather than pretend the classifier is perfect.
