Listing age is a key factor in MCP registry failures, but varies by platform

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A recent analysis of MCP registry listings revealed that older entries are significantly more likely to fail, with a 2.60 odds ratio for listings older than 92 days compared to younger ones.

    Old MCP listings do die more often — but age is the wrong field to watch

    <p>A reader named Valentin asked me a good question in the comments of an earlier post. I had published a table showing that MCP registry listings fail at wildly different rates depending on where they're hosted — Railway 66%, Vercel 8% — and argued you could use that as a prior …
