Hi maintainers — happy to adjust this based on your feedback. A few thoughts:
Open to whatever approach works best for the project. The goal is just to help developers think about security before connecting MCP servers to production agents. |

Update: We've expanded beyond trust scores to launch ANS (Agent Naming Service) — the identity, verification, and ownership layer for AI agents. Three services, parallel to web infrastructure:
For MCP server developers, ANS provides:
Why this matters for the MCP ecosystem:
Live pages:
We'd love feedback from the MCP maintainers on whether ANS-style verification could be integrated into the MCP protocol itself — e.g., an agent verifying a server's identity before connecting. |
Summary
Adds a brief note under the existing Security section pointing developers to an independent trust assessment resource for MCP servers before production deployment.
Why
MCP servers often have write access to critical systems (databases, payments, cloud infrastructure, email). Developers connecting these to AI agents in production should evaluate:
This adds a single paragraph with a link to an independent assessment covering 10 security dimensions for 91 servers from this list.
