A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides access to all the curated awesome lists and their items. It can provide the best resources for your agent from sections of the 8500+ awesome lists on github and more then 1mn+ (growing) awesome row items.
Run this in your terminal to verify the server starts. Then let us know if it worked — your result helps other developers.
npx -y 'context-awesome' 2>&1 | head -1 && echo "✓ Server started successfully"
After testing, let us know if it worked:

Compress tool outputs, logs, files, and RAG chunks before they reach the LLM. 60-95% fewer tokens, same answers. Library, proxy, MCP server.
Pi Coding Agent extension (CLI-first) — routes bash/read/grep/find/ls through lean-ctx CLI for strong token savings. Optional MCP bridge can register advanced tools.
97% token reduction for AI coding sessions — zero deps, 21 languages, MCP server
One local source for the MCP servers, tools, and memory your AI coding agents share, synced into each tool's native config with a review gate and a receipt for every change. No daemon, no lock-in.

What are Awesome Lists? Awesome lists are community-curated collections of the best tools, libraries, and resources on any topic - from machine learning frameworks to design tools. By adding this MCP server, your AI agents get instant access to these high-quality, vetted resources instead of relying on random web searches.

| Mode | Install | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| MCP Server | point your agent at the hosted URL or spawn context-awesome-mcp | Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code — agents that natively speak MCP |
| CLI | npm install -g context-awesome | Scripts, shell workflows, editors without MCP support, CI jobs |
Both modes ship from the same npm package (context-awesome) and hit the same hosted backend.
Every MCP tool has a 1:1 CLI subcommand — the server and the CLI expose the same operations.
| Tool | CLI equivalent | What it does |
|---|---|---|
find_awesome_section | context-awesome sections <query...> | Discover sections/categories across awesome lists matching a query |
search_awesome_items | context-awesome search <query...> | Full-text search across individual items (tools/libraries/resources) |
get_awesome_items | context-awesome items <target> | Fetch items from a known list + section, token-budgeted |
The CLI (context-awesome) talks directly to the hosted backend. For the MCP server, use the separate context-awesome-mcp binary (see Installation — MCP Clients below).
context-awesome <command> [options]
Commands:
sections <query...> Find sections matching a query
search <query...> Search items (e.g., context-awesome search "postgres orm")
items <target> Fetch items from a list (by owner/repo or listId)
Globals:
--api-host <url> Backend API host (env: CONTEXT_AWESOME_API_HOST)
--api-key <key> API key (env: CONTEXT_AWESOME_API_KEY)
--json Emit raw JSON (for scripts)
npm install -g context-awesome
context-awesome --help
context-awesome search "rate limiter"
context-awesome sections "graph databases"
npx context-awesome search "vector database"
Context Awesome is available as a hosted MCP server. No installation required.
