AI tool registry audit reveals missing data, overstates duplicates

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

An audit of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) registry, which stores information for AI agents discovering tools, revealed that out of 25,125 servers, a significant portion had missing optional fields like titles and remotes. While a naive count suggested over 100,000 schema issues, a deeper analysis showed these were mostly optional fields, not critical errors. The audit also highlighted a common problem in evaluating datasets: simple text similarity overestimates duplicates, as records may share question stems but differ in crucial details like answers or schemas.

    I audited all 25,125 servers in the MCP registry

    <p>Every MCP directory, every "browse servers" page, every agent that discovers tools at runtime reads from the same place: the Model Context Protocol registry. I pulled a snapshot of it on 4 September 2026 — <strong>25,125 servers</strong> — and ran an integrity audit over the w…
