10 MCP Servers That Do Things I Didn’t Know Were Possible
From AI making phone calls to analyzing videos and designing circuit boards
MCP servers can do a lot more than connect AI to GitHub or let it read files. Some can analyze videos, design circuit boards, control geographic maps, and even help you work with your personal photo library.
If you only think of MCP as a way to connect Claude or another AI assistant to external tools, you’re missing a lot of the fun.
I went looking for MCP servers that do something genuinely surprising. Here are 10 worth checking out, including a few that most developers probably haven’t tried yet.
1. God’s Eye View
GitHub: God’s Eye View
Imagine opening a 3D globe and seeing aircraft, ships, satellites, earthquakes, and other real-world events on the same map.
God’s Eye View is an interactive 3D visualization project that brings different live-data layers together. With its MCP integration, compatible AI clients can interact with the globe and display information visually.
Instead of asking AI for a wall of text about what’s happening around the world, you can explore the information on a map.
