5 TOOLS AVAILABLE
OUR ASSESSMENT
- 6,781 GitHub stars.
- 65 commits on main in the last 30 days.
- Official Model Context Protocol project maintenance.
- Validates server manifests against the registry schema.
- Pairs with MCP Inspector for full debug + discovery loop.
- License is NOASSERTION at inspection (typical for early Model Context Protocol projects); track for license clarification.
- Registry coverage depends on community submission velocity.
- Read-only useful surface; publish flow is on GitHub via PR.
No authentication required for read tools. Submitted server entries are reviewed via GitHub PR; trust the registry at the same level you trust GitHub-PR review for any community-curated source.
Operators who want to discover MCP servers programmatically; agent builders auditing the MCP ecosystem; teams maintaining their own MCP catalog and needing a reference baseline.

SOURCES & VERIFICATION
We don't take any single directory's word for it. Before scoring, we cross-reference 5 public MCP sources, install the server ourselves against the clients we cover, and record when we last re-verified.
The same server, 5 different lenses. We reconcile these signals into our editorial score, which is why our number sometimes diverges from a directory-aggregate star count.
