    Quick Answer: The 5 MCP servers that show up most often in the setup instructions for the top-installed SKILL.md skills on Agensi are: filesystem, GitHub, Postgres, Playwright/browser, and the Agensi MCP itself. This is not a generic "awesome MCP" list; it is the servers the skills our users actually install ask for.

    The 5 MCP servers, ranked by co-install signal

    1. filesystem MCP. Referenced by the majority of the top 20 installed skills, including code-reviewer and readme-generator. If you install one MCP server, install this one.
    2. GitHub MCP. Required by pr-description-writer and changelog-generator. Handles PR reads, commit history, and issue lookups.
    3. Postgres MCP. Used by data-oriented skills. Lets the agent describe schemas and run read-only queries against a real database.
    4. Playwright / browser MCP. Used by click-to-convert-audit and the marketing skill cluster. Gives the agent a real browser to click, screenshot, and audit pages.
    5. Agensi MCP. Our own server. Lets any MCP-compatible agent search and install skills from the Agensi marketplace directly, without leaving the terminal. Covered on our MCP page.
