# MCP Toplist

MCP Toplist is an index of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. It tracks servers, organizations, versions, GitHub activity, registry listings, and adoption trends across the MCP ecosystem.

## What it is
MCP Toplist ranks MCP servers using a composite score derived from version count, GitHub release and commit activity, GitHub stars (log-normalized), and listing age. Data is continuously updated from multiple registries.

## MCP server (for AI clients)
MCP Toplist is itself a Model Context Protocol server. Point an MCP client at https://mcptoplist.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no auth, read-only) to search the catalog from inside an AI assistant.
- Endpoint: https://mcptoplist.com/mcp
- Setup guide (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and any MCP client): https://mcptoplist.com/connect
- Tools: search_servers(query, limit) — keyword search over 55,000+ servers; get_server_details(serverKey) — full record for one server.
- Client config: { "mcpServers": { "mcptoplist": { "url": "https://mcptoplist.com/mcp" } } }

## Data freshness
Rankings, registry listings, version counts, and GitHub signals are continuously updated as upstream registries publish new data.

## Sources
MCP Toplist tracks five registries: the Official MCP Registry, Glama, Smithery, mcp.so, and PulseMCP. GitHub (including the modelcontextprotocol organization) is a signal source for stars, commits, and releases — not a registry. See https://mcptoplist.com/sources for the full list and refresh cadence, and https://mcptoplist.com/observatory for live per-registry measurements (listed servers, last sync, 30-day change, known caveats).

## Dataset
The open dataset is published on Hugging Face (parquet, refreshed daily, CC BY 4.0): https://huggingface.co/datasets/BIFF-AI/mcptoplist
It covers every canonical server with per-registry membership, first-seen dates, transport/setup classifications, a current GitHub-stars snapshot, the ranking position shown on the site, and a daily per-registry growth series. The site itself does not serve bulk data files; for programmatic per-server lookups use the MCP endpoint above.
