MCP Server Guides

Practical guides and data reports built on the MCP Server Finder dataset — how to pick a server, how to judge its risk, and what we measure.

• State of MCP Servers: what the data shows

  Statistics on every MCP server we track: categories, licenses, GitHub activity, permission signals, and how many actually start and list their tools.

• How to choose an MCP server

  A practical checklist for picking a Model Context Protocol server: maintenance, permissions, install method, client support, and documentation.

• MCP server security: risks and how to evaluate them

  What an MCP server can do on your machine and accounts, the warning signs to look for, and how to run one with less risk.

• How we benchmark MCP servers

  The exact checks behind MCP Server Finder benchmark scores: install, startup, capability discovery, docs, config, and safety, plus what we never run.
