# Find an MCP server for a job

Name a job your agent cannot do yet.
It searches for MCP servers and ranks them.

[Get the app](https://superbot.gg/download?cta%5Fid=page%5Finstall) [see the real call](https://superbot.gg/use-cases/find-an-mcp-server-for-a-job#call)

## What you get

- A ranked list of MCP servers that cover a job your agent cannot do.
- Where each one comes from, and what it fits.
- Nothing installs from the search.

## Ask your agent

Connect superbot once.
Other clients are on [the install page](https://superbot.gg/add).

```sh
claude mcp add --transport http superbot https://api.superbot.gg/mcp -s user
```

With no browser, post to the install route instead.

```sh
curl -fsS -X POST https://api.superbot.gg/mcp/install -d client=claude-code
```

Then ask in plain words.

```
superbot({"intent": "Use the capability-acquire tool to find an MCP server or command-line tool that can query a PostgreSQL database. Rank the candidates and do not install anything."})
```

This needs an account.
An agent with none signs you in through [/auth.md](https://superbot.gg/auth.md).
You read back one emailed code.

## One real call

A real call, run on 2026-10-18 from a test account.
The reply is the agent's own, with its heading cut.

call

```
superbot({"intent": "Use the capability-acquire tool to find an MCP server or command-line tool that can query a PostgreSQL database. Rank the candidates and do not install anything."})
```

reply

```
Nothing was installed and no install recipe was produced. The tool searched the official MCP registry, Docker, Smithery and GitHub, returned 10 relevant servers, and the draft recipe it attempted (for Neon) failed validation, so it is not offerable.

| # | Candidate | Package / transport | Fit |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | io.github.ofershap/postgres | npm `mcp-pg-server@1.0.0`, official registry | Direct query, schema inspection and EXPLAIN on any Postgres; smallest install |
| 2 | ai.waystation/postgres | hosted streamable-http at waystation.ai/postgres/mcp | Official registry, no local install; your SQL leaves your machine |
| 3 | sgaunet/postgresql-mcp | GitHub, Go binary | Read-only execution, schema exploration, perf analysis; safest for production |

Install goes through the consent flow on a paired desktop, and no computer of yours is online right now, so nothing can be installed from here regardless.
```

A search, run live. Three of ten rows, without the score column. The links, the other rows and the sources line are left out.

## Limits

Result

This call returned MCP servers only.

Ask

Name the tool in the ask, as the call does, so the ranked search is the one that runs.

Install

It needs a paired desktop and your approval. Nothing installs without it.

Desktop search

A search through a paired desktop needs that desktop online. None was for this call, so the list came from the search on superbot's servers.

Needs

A superbot account.
