Why this exists

MCP servers are becoming a new supply chain for AI agents. Some are great. Some are abandoned. Some are openly dangerous.

MCP Radar is a public registry that scores servers on permissions, maintenance, install method, package quality, docs, and security risk — so you can evaluate one before plugging it into Claude Desktop or Cursor.

The model is open. Every score links to the signals that produced it.

  • Who maintains this MCP server?
  • What permissions does it require?
  • Is the package pinned and released responsibly?
  • Are there known vulnerabilities?
  • How does it compare to alternatives in the same category?
