MCP server data reveals uptime and tool-list drift trends

An analysis of 119,510 signed MCP server results from August to October 2026 reveals insights into server uptime and tool-list drift. The data, collected by probing public remote MCP servers, indicates that approximately 60.3% of observed endpoints had signed, full coverage results. The study defines uptime based on server responsiveness, noting that changes in how errors are categorized (e.g., HTTP 5xx responses) may slightly skew earlier data towards appearing more available.
