Security & Risk

Zero vulnerabilities detected across all 10 servers. Perfect security scores (100/100) with no credential leaks or secret exposures found. Risk stratification reflects capability scope:

  • Low risk (1): excel-mcp-server performs isolated file operations with no network or untracked filesystem writes.
  • Medium risk (4): scrapling, fastapi-mcp, mcp-proxy, mcpo — manage external connections and filesystem I/O, requiring authentication and network segmentation.
  • High risk (5): Official Anthropic servers (server-memory, server-filesystem, server-sequential-thinking, server-everything, @pandacss/mcp) — broad system and file access; security posture depends on runtime sandbox and network isolation.

Adoption & Activity

Downloads span 54K–2.6M per week. Official Anthropic servers command the largest user base; independent projects show strong maintenance velocity.

Observations:

  • fastapi-mcp leads adoption (2.6M/week) but hasn't released in 6 months — battle-tested stability.
  • Official Anthropic servers updated 3 days ago with 331 active contributors; MCP infrastructure backbone.
  • @pandacss/mcp ships 100 releases/year — most rapid iteration in the group.
  • scrapling balances user base (254K/week) with high release frequency (24/yr) and small team (17 contributors).

🏆 Editor's Pick

Scrapling — Highest overall score (95.0) combining maximum freshness and quality with strong independent adoption: 254K downloads/week, 51K GitHub stars, 24 releases in 365 days. A web scraping framework that balances capability with maintainability.

pip install scrapling

Also recommended by use case:

  • FastAPI + MCP: fastapi-mcp (2.6M weekly downloads, stable for 6+ months)
  • MCP infrastructure: Official Anthropic servers (85K stars, 331 contributors)
  • Enterprise Excel automation: excel-mcp-server (only low-risk option, 227K/week)
