About
Health and ownership checks for MCP servers before you install. Facts with evidence, not guesses.
What this is
The MCP Census is a live product at mcpcensus.com: free lookup plus REST and MCP APIs that check servers in the Model Context Protocol ecosystem against public evidence (registry, GitHub, npm, PyPI, hosted endpoints, citations).
The registry tells you a server exists. The census tells you whether public evidence supports installing it, including honest “can’t verify yet.”
How we work
The census runs continuously. Pipelines re-harvest the registry daily, re-check servers on a rolling cycle, probe live endpoints, and cross-reference adoption evidence on public sources.
Methodology is published. Numbers are public. Every trust factor links to evidence. Where something cannot be verified, we say so. Operating entity: Terms.
What we are not
- Not the official MCP registry
- Not a malware scanner or full application security audit
- Not a directory that ranks by stars alone
- Not affiliated with every vendor whose brand appears in a search
