## Connection (mcpServers)

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcpexplorer": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcpexplorer.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

## Trust

- hygiene: 100
- liveness: 100
- freshness: 65
- provenance: 90
- drivers: +repository +namespace-matches-repo +website +reachable +uptime-100% ~updated-105d-ago
- Derived from observable signals (official registry feed and our own credential-free probes); no code audit performed.

## Quality 79/100 (good)

### protocol: 75 (weight 25)

- warn `protocol.modern`: newest supported version is 2025-11-25; 2026-07-28 not supported, older versions are deprecated until 2027-07-28
- n/a `protocol.stateless`: only applies to 2026-07-28 servers
- pass `protocol.transport`: streamable HTTP
- n/a `protocol.list_ttl`: only applies to 2026-07-28 servers

### authorization: n/a (weight 15)

- n/a `auth.prm`, `auth.as_metadata`, `auth.cimd`: no remote uses OAuth
- n/a `auth.secret_in_url`: no templated URL

### tool hygiene: 71 (weight 30)

- pass `tools.descriptions`: every tool has a description
- pass `tools.description_length`: descriptions are concise
- pass `tools.schemas`: every tool has an object input schema
- fail `tools.annotations`: no tool declares readOnlyHint or destructiveHint, so clients cannot tell safe calls from risky ones
- fail `tools.directory_hints`: no tool declares all four of readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint and openWorldHint; missing: generate_runtime_config (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); check_trust (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_ecosystem_stats (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); …
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 1,670 tokens to load every tool
- pass `tools.api_dump`: tools are not a one-to-one API dump

### stability: 100 (weight 15)

- pass `stability.changes`: no tool changes in 30 days
- pass `stability.rug_pull`: no tool changed its meaning under the same name

### dependencies: n/a (weight 15)

- n/a `deps.known_vulns`, `deps.mcp_sdk_version`, `deps.resolvable`: no npm or PyPI package

- tools: 14, about 1,670 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: 560629bbcc471cc123c88bc417c626ee
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/io.github.mcpexplorer/mcpexplorer.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/io.github.mcpexplorer/mcpexplorer)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

## Tools (14)

- `check_trust`: Return the explainable trust score, label, scoring reasons, and verification history for an MCP server.
- `compare_servers`: Compare two MCP servers side by side: trust, transport, tools, install, and links.
- `generate_runtime_config`: Generate the install + client config for an MCP server in a given runtime (claude-desktop, cursor, vscode, windsurf, cline, continue, goose, openai-agents, langgraph, crewai).
- `get_alternatives`: Find verified MCP servers with the same capabilities as a given server, ranked by trust.
- `get_capability`: List the best MCP servers that provide a capability (e.g. 'send-email', 'web-search'), ranked by trust.
- `get_ecosystem_stats`: Live snapshot of the indexed MCP ecosystem: totals (servers, tools, handshake-verified), provenance and transport breakdowns, and the current top-trust / most-adopted / newest / biggest-trust-riser servers.
- `get_loadout`: Fetch one curated loadout: its servers (each with role + LIVE trust/transport/tool-risk from the index), an aggregated governance posture for the whole kit, and the plays (see→decide→act sequences) it's designed to run.
- `get_server`: Fetch the full record for one MCP server by slug: install methods, tools, trust, verification, and provenance.
- `list_capabilities`: List the capability slugs an agent can filter or look up by (e.g. 'send-email', 'query-database'), most-populated first. Use these with get_capability or search_servers' capability filter — the taxonomy isn't guessable.
- `list_loadouts`: List curated loadouts — deliberately-assembled kits of MCP servers + governance + plays for a specific job (GTM, coding, research, support, infra). The agent-facing version of the /loadouts product. Use get_loadout for the full kit with live trust.
- `list_runtimes`: List the runtimes generate_runtime_config supports (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, agent frameworks, …), with each one's config path. Enumerate these instead of guessing runtime slugs.
- `plan_toolset`: Turn a plain-language goal into a recommended, governed toolset: the best-fit curated loadout (matched transparently by goal terms) plus an assembled set of the most relevant indexed servers, each with LIVE trust and tool-risk, and an aggregate governance posture for the kit. The decision layer over search/capability/trust/loadouts.
- `report_broken_server`: Report that an MCP server's install, docs, or endpoint is broken. Creates a submission for editorial review.
- `search_servers`: Search the MCPExplorer index of MCP servers by free text and filters. Omit `query` to browse the whole index ranked by trust score. Every filter either applies or is echoed back in `ignored_filters` with a reason — filters never silently do nothing.
