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.

resolve

resolve_server

Resolve a canonical MCPLookup server name from an exact coordinate or a complete reviewed organization, product, or service name. Returns at most five identity-only candidates with query-relative identity and publisher explanations. Partial prefixes belong to interactive homepage search; use find_servers for task or capability discovery. Use this before trust_lookup when you do not have an exact name.

servers

find_servers

Find MCP servers by a free-text query or MCPLookup's normalized capability taxonomy, with optional filters. A free-text query returns a reviewed identity-only slate when one exists; otherwise it falls back to explicitly labelled catalog matches. The two evidence lanes are never mixed. Use capability for task discovery. Returns at most five results and no pagination.

trust

trust_lookup

Look up MCPLookup's independent trust rating for an MCP server by its exact name. Returns the current verdict plus the MCP Trust Index: an overall band and 0–100 score with a confidence level, and coarse safety / maintenance / adoption / provenance bands. Use it as one evidence-based input when evaluating a server at selection or install time. Current state only — no history.

MCPLookup — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can MCPLookup do?

It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: find_servers, resolve_server, trust_lookup. 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 MCPLookup 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 495 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect MCPLookup?

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 MCPLookup need an API key?

No. MCPLookup 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 MCPLookup?

It answers our handshake in 495 ms on average, which is faster than 23% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

How many people use MCPLookup?

The npm package @mcplookup/mcp was installed 527 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is MCPLookup open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
