Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant search a directory of MCP servers ranked by measured handshake and tool-list checks plus signed reports.

What it does
Agora is a searchable index of MCP servers. It reads the official MCP registry, probes each remote Streamable HTTP server with one handshake and one tools/list call, and adds GitHub signals such as stars, last push, licence and archived status. Signed reports saying a server works, is broken or is unsafe are accepted and outrank the measurements. Results are published as open data.
When to use it
Use it when you want to find or compare MCP servers by observed behaviour rather than popularity, or when you need a quick signal on whether a remote server responds and lists tools.
Requirements
Remote MCP endpoint at the provider's site; no package, account, API key or environment variable is declared. The assistant needs network access to that endpoint.
Before you install
The index only reports a handshake and a tools/list result, so a listing is not a safety or quality endorsement. Signed reports can outrank measurements, and the ranking should be treated as third-party data. No credentials are requested by the manifest.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Agora by openforallofus in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

README

Agora by openforallofus

Search for MCP servers, ranked by what was measured instead of what was voted.

Live at https://openforallofus.com. Agents can use it directly as an MCP server at https://openforallofus.com/api/mcp.

What it does

  • Reads every entry in the official MCP registry.
  • Checks each server that runs as a remote Streamable HTTP endpoint: one MCP handshake and one tools/list, nothing else. No tool is ever called.
  • Reads GitHub signals for linked repositories: stars, last push, licence, archived, missing.
  • Accepts signed reports: "this server works / is broken / is unsafe", backed by a signed decision record in the open Cedulon format. Signed reports outrank everything measured here.
  • Publishes the measurements as open data (/data/servers.csv, CC BY 4.0).

Every number on the site is derived from the data files at build time; no page carries a hand-typed count.

Run it

sh
npm install && npm --prefix web installnpm run catalog                                   # ~6 minnode scripts/github.mjs                           # needs a logged-in GitHub CLIUV_THREADPOOL_SIZE=64 node scripts/probe.mjs --fresh && UV_THREADPOOL_SIZE=64 node scripts/probe.mjs --retrynode scripts/build-index.mjsnpm testnpm run dev                                       # http://localhost:3000

UV_THREADPOOL_SIZE matters: Node resolves DNS on a four-thread pool by default, and thousands of dead domains starve it until live servers start timing out.

The check, and how to opt out

The probe sends agora-probe/0.1 (+https://openforallofus.com/probe), holds at most one connection per host, and gives each server 12 seconds. To stop the check against your endpoint or correct your page, open an issue or write to the address on /method.
