Use this list as a selection pipeline:
- Start with read-only / evidence-oriented tools.
- Prefer servers with clear licenses and transparent data sources.
- Pin versions for npx installs when rolling into production.
For each chosen MCP, record: data source, rate limits, auth requirements, and what gets logged.

Awesome OSINT MCP Servers
A curated list of MCP servers for OSINT (Open Source Intelligence).
