MCP ecosystem analysis reveals 22,561 servers, mostly dev tools

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A recent analysis of the "MCP" (Multi-Capability Provider) ecosystem has revealed that there are 22,561 distinct servers, a number significantly larger than previously indicated by individual registries. The majority of these servers, 46%, are dedicated to developer tools and coding agents, with other categories like finance and health being considerably smaller. A significant portion, about 36%, remains uncategorized, and a striking 99.6% lack any published reliability or uptime data, presenting a substantial risk for agents relying on these services. AI

    I deduplicated every MCP registry into one index. Here's what 22,561 servers actually look like

    <p>Every MCP registry shows you a different slice, and they all double count. So I merged them. PulseMCP, Smithery, the official list, GitHub. Then deduplicated into one index. Here's the honest state of the MCP ecosystem about 18 months in. Everything here is measured, not guess…
