The Gecko Rating ladder
· 4,923 servers gradedStars-first quality tier · we lean on GitHub adoption as a reliability signal, with metadata fallbacks for servers we haven't scraped yet. Untested is neutral · it means we don't have enough public signal to rate the server, not that the server is bad.
500+ GitHub stars · battle-tested, widely adopted, safe default.
50-499 stars · mature enough to trust in a real workflow.
5-49 stars · working prototypes, early adopters welcome.
Not enough public signal yet · try at your own pace.

Frequently asked
Answers pulled from the dataset · updated daily
What is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server?
MCP servers are small programs that expose tools, data sources, or APIs to AI agents through a standard protocol. Anthropic's Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf and other clients connect to MCP servers to let agents query databases, search the web, read files, call APIs, and operate software safely.
How many MCP servers are there?
BenchGecko tracks 4,923 MCP servers across 13 categories · pulled directly from the official MCP Registry and enriched daily with GitHub stars, freshness signals, and our Gecko Rating quality tier.
What is BenchGecko's Gecko Rating?
Gecko Rating is a 4-tier quality ladder we compute daily: Frontier (≥500 stars · 87 servers), Solid (≥50 stars · 294 servers), Beta (≥5 stars · 1204 servers), and Untested (the rest · 3338 servers). Stars-first, metadata fallback when repos aren't scraped yet. Untested is neutral · we just don't have enough public signal yet.
What is the most popular MCP server?
Scrapling MCP Server leads the GitHub star count with 102,539 stars. It's tagged cloud in the registry and rated Frontier on the Gecko Rating ladder.
How do I install an MCP server?
Each detail page on BenchGecko includes ready-to-paste install snippets for Claude Code (claude mcp add), Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json), Windsurf (~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json), and VS Code (settings.json). Stdio servers run locally; streamable-http and SSE servers connect over the network.
How often does BenchGecko refresh the MCP directory?
The server list comes from the official MCP Registry (registry.modelcontextprotocol.io). GitHub stars are fetched daily into the BenchGecko database; each list shows the date of the stars it uses, and stars older than 30 days are left out of the Gecko score.
Can I submit an MCP server to BenchGecko?
You don't need to · we sync the full public MCP Registry automatically. If a server is missing, it usually means it hasn't been published to the registry yet. File it at registry.modelcontextprotocol.io and it will appear on BenchGecko after the next registry sync.
