Which servers in the official MCP registry are MCP Rating's own, whether they answer, and what they offer. A program checked each of these, nobody copied them from a product page.

The registry name sits under mcprating.io. The registry only lets a publisher use that namespace after proving control of the domain through DNS or HTTP.

- Whether its tools do the product's job has not been judged yet.
Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

- not sure · find and compare MCP servers from within Claude or ChatGPT
- not sure · check server quality and safety scores before installing
- cannot · connect MCP servers through a gateway with limited environment variables
Each of the product's use cases, put to Jev against this server's tool list: can an agent do it with these tools?
Worth a look
None of the five warning signs in these definitions.
A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (30%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%) and use (15%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →
search_serversSearch the MCP Rating index of MCP servers. Returns matches for a query, optionally filtered by category and sorted by quality, stars, downloads, recency, or name, each marked with the outcome of our own start test when we have run one…
get_serverGet what is known about one MCP server by slug: whether it started when we ran it ourselves (no credentials, on a schedule), how it is maintained (last release, last code push, open issues, archived or deprecated), how to run it (install…
list_categoriesList all available MCP server categories with the count of servers in each.
get_index_statsGet overall statistics about the MCP Rating index: total servers, top categories, and last crawl time.
get_install_configGenerate a ready-to-paste configuration snippet for connecting a discovered MCP server to Claude Desktop or Cursor. MCP servers cannot auto-install — users must manually add configuration. This tool reduces that friction.
discover_serverFetch the live .well-known/mcp discovery manifest from an indexed MCP server. Returns transport endpoints, capabilities, and auth requirements needed to connect. Only works for servers that support MCP discovery.
How to connect
Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:
{
"mcpServers": {
"search": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcprating.io/mcp/"
}
}
}Add it
Claude Code, in a terminal
claude mcp add --transport http mcprating https://mcprating.io/mcp/claude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://mcprating.io/mcp/ as a custom connector in the settings.

Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
