Registry indexes 66K MCP servers, purges fake install counts

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new registry has been launched to track MCP servers across GitHub, npm, and PyPI, indexing over 66,000 servers and identifying over 130,000 tracked ecosystems. The registry purges inaccurate data, including 2,910 invented install counts and inflated GitHub star numbers, ensuring verified data through API checks. The system offers tools for searching, classifying install risk, fingerprinting tools, and verifying credentials, with a focus on open-source security infrastructure for AI agents. AI

IMPACT Enhances security and trust in the AI agent development ecosystem by providing verified component data.
