I've been messing around with different AI tool setups lately and ran into a bit of a wall. I'm trying to build a small automation flow that connects to a database and also pulls some files from a local directory. I heard that MCP servers might help simplify this, but every example I find focuses on just one kind of integration — like either APIs or browser automation, not all three. Has anyone had experience finding an MCP server that handles multiple types of input/output? Would love a pointer in the right direction, especially something lightweight that’s not overkill for small projects.

Hey, I was in the same boat a few weeks ago. I needed something that could deal with both filesystem tasks and hit a few REST APIs, and finding one server that handles it all was tricky at first. What helped me a ton was checking out this directory of MCP servers — it lists tons of options and you can filter them based on what kind of integration they support. I ended up finding one that supports both local file operations and API calls, which was exactly what I needed for my Node.js setup. Here's the page that helped me out: MCP servers. It’s got everything from database connectors to scraping tools, all in one place. I think it’s worth checking out before you commit to a specific solution.

Just wanted to say I’m really enjoying reading these kinds of threads lately. It’s cool to see people diving into real implementation questions instead of just general AI talk. I don’t work much with MCP myself, but I’ve been curious about how they’re being used in small dev setups. Always something to learn, even if you’re just lurking.
