Caveats, distribution and query
What this category does not say
- Transports (raw) is the complete, sorted enumeration of what a manifest declares. So "stdio" means exactly that and nothing else: an entry that also declares something different is not in this category.
- This category shares 13,704 of its 13,710 entries with "MCP servers available as a package only" (14,740). Both are measured from different original data; that they hit almost the same set is a finding, not a rule.
What is measured is what a manifest declares, not what a piece of software does. This registry fetches no repository URL, no endpoint and no package index; nothing here is verified. Which value comes from which source, and by which rule it was formed, is set out in the Methodology.
Every sentence here follows from the condition above, not from an assessment.
