MCP Badges Server

The Model Context Protocol Badges server is a lightweight visual companion for any MCP‑enabled project. It solves the common developer pain of communicating protocol support and status at a glance, especially in documentation, READMEs, or continuous‑integration dashboards. By embedding concise badge images directly into markdown files, teams can instantly convey whether a repository implements MCP, which side of the protocol it plays (server, client, or development helper), and which specific features are active.

At its core, the server exposes four badge families: default, server, client, and dev. The default badge simply indicates MCP presence, optionally toggling an enabled or disabled state via a query parameter. Server and client badges, meanwhile, let you list supported capabilities—such as resources, tools, prompts, and sampling—in a single visual tag. The dev badge is tailored for tooling and framework projects that aim to contribute to the MCP ecosystem, signaling readiness for further integration. This tiered approach keeps documentation clean while offering granular insight into the protocol’s role within a codebase.

Key capabilities are exposed through URL query parameters. For example, generates a badge that not only labels the repository as an MCP server but also highlights its support for resource provisioning and tool invocation. Clients can similarly advertise prompt and tool handling with . The server’s ability to render these badges on demand means that any change in feature set can be reflected instantly without manual image updates, ensuring documentation remains accurate as the project evolves.

In practice, these badges become a powerful part of AI‑centric workflows. A team building an intelligent chatbot might add the server badge to its API repository, while a front‑end library that consumes MCP would display the client badge. Continuous‑integration pipelines can automatically generate badges based on test results, giving stakeholders immediate visibility into protocol compliance. Moreover, open‑source projects can use the dev badge to signal that they are ready for community contributions or integration testing, fostering collaboration across the MCP ecosystem.

What sets this server apart is its zero‑friction integration and visual clarity. No code snippets or configuration files are required to produce a badge; simply construct the URL with desired parameters and embed the resulting image. The result is a self‑documenting, real‑time indicator that enhances transparency and trust in MCP deployments. For developers already familiar with the Model Context Protocol, these badges provide a quick, standardized way to showcase protocol readiness and feature coverage across projects.
