Available tools 6

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

categories
list_categories
List all available MCP server categories with the count of servers in each.
discover
discover_server
Fetch the live .well-known/mcp discovery manifest from an indexed MCP server. Returns transport endpoints, capabilities, and auth requirements needed to connect. Only works for servers that support MCP discovery.
index
get_index_stats
Get overall statistics about the MCP Rating index: total servers, top categories, and last crawl time.
install
get_install_config
Generate a ready-to-paste configuration snippet for connecting a discovered MCP server to Claude Desktop or Cursor. MCP servers cannot auto-install — users must manually add configuration. This tool reduces that friction.
server
get_server
Get what is known about one MCP server by slug: whether it started when we ran it ourselves (no credentials, on a schedule), how it is maintained (last release, last code push, open issues, archived or deprecated), how to run it (install command or hosted endpoint), the keys it declares, its tools with their parameters, and roughly how many tokens its tool definitions cost. Listings are informational — verify details before installing.
servers
search_servers
Search the MCP Rating index of MCP servers. Returns matches for a query, optionally filtered by category and sorted by quality, stars, downloads, recency, or name, each marked with the outcome of our own start test when we have run one, and with its last release and last code push dates where we know them. Quality scores are algorithmic estimates.

MCP Rating — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can MCP Rating do?
It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: discover_server, get_index_stats, get_install_config, get_server, list_categories, search_servers. 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 MCP Rating working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 184 checks got a reply (50.0%), average response time 293 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect MCP Rating?
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 MCP Rating need an API key?
No. MCP Rating completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is MCP Rating?
It answers our handshake in 293 ms on average, which is faster than 48% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
