DefaultRank missed one check this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

Available tools 3

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

category
get_category_ranking
Ranks the tools AI models recommend first and the tools they actually install in AI-built apps, for one category: auth, database or email.
package
check_package_freshness
Checks dependencies (an object of package name to version range, as in package.json) against the npm registry. Returns packages that are a major version or more behind npm's latest, deprecated packages, and the current major to use. Useful before installing packages from memory.
tool
get_tool_pick_rate
For a developer tool (product name or npm package, e.g. 'Clerk', 'next-auth', '@supabase/supabase-js'), returns how often 6 AI models recommend it first, mention it, and actually use it in apps they build, with its rank and main competitor. Covers auth, databases and email.

DefaultRank — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can DefaultRank do?
It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_package_freshness, get_category_ranking, get_tool_pick_rate. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is DefaultRank working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 136 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect DefaultRank?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does DefaultRank need an API key?
No. DefaultRank completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is DefaultRank?
It answers our handshake in 136 ms on average, which is faster than 75% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
