SOURCES & VERIFICATION
We don't take any single directory's word for it. Before scoring, we cross-reference 3 public MCP sources, install the server ourselves against the clients we cover, and record when we last re-verified.
The same server, 3 different lenses. We reconcile these signals into our editorial score, which is why our number sometimes diverges from a directory-aggregate star count.
