22 Best MCP Tools to Boost Productivity: Development, Project Management, Data, API, AI/ML Model Development, and More

In the era of AI-powered automation services, tools based on MCP (Multi Control Panel) have become essential. These tools go beyond simple code editors to automate entire projects and handle servers and data.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a powerful automation tool not only for developers but also for planners, startup teams, and AI service operators.

If you want to handle everything from content planning and writing to web and app development, analytics, APIs, and security all at once, be sure to check it out.

This article categorizes MCP tools for those seeking to build their own AI-powered automation systems and boost productivity.

✅ What you'll gain from this article:

• Quickly grasp which tools are needed when building emotion data-based services
• Design the entire workflow from development → data → AI → security
• Recommendations for tools by use case that can be applied directly to real work
