MarketNow adds 1,097 MCP servers, flags package security risks

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The MarketNow project has completed an ingestion run, adding 1,097 new MCP servers to its directory, bringing the total to 67,593. This batch included servers sourced from GitHub topic searches, the npm registry, and a reconciliation with the awesome-mcp-servers list. A key finding from this run is that 188 out of 347 same-name packages on npm and GitHub do not belong to the same project, highlighting a potential security risk for users who might inadvertently install malicious code through typosquatting. The project continues to prioritize precision in its indexing, with all new entries being auto-scanned and classified rather than verified. AI

IMPACT Highlights potential security risks in package management for developers using MCP, emphasizing the need for careful verification of package sources.
