# MCP Verdict MCP Server

Ask your AI assistant which MCP server to use, and get an answer that comes from an evaluation instead of a guess.

This server gives Claude, Cursor, and any other MCP client access to [MCP Verdict](https://mcpverdict.com): independent, source-reviewed evaluations of MCP servers, client profiles, and setup guides. Reviews cover capabilities, setup, permissions and security, token costs, and maintenance status, with a verdict where one has been published.

Content is fetched live from [mcpverdict.com](https://mcpverdict.com), so answers match the current published reviews. No API key needed.

## Tools

| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| `search_servers` | Find reviewed MCP servers by name, category, or capability (`"postgres"`, `"browser automation"`, `"oauth"`). Omit the query to list all. |
| `get_server_review` | Full review of one server, or one section of it: `section: "security"`, `"setup"`, `"cost"`, `"faq"`, `"troubleshooting"`. |
| `get_guide` | Setup guides (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor), client profiles, and comparisons such as [best MCP servers](https://mcpverdict.com/mcp/compare/best-mcp-servers/) and [MCP vs API](https://mcpverdict.com/mcp/compare/mcp-vs-api/). |

Example prompts:
- "Is the Puppeteer MCP server still safe to use?"
- "Compare the Postgres and Supabase MCP servers for a production database."
- "What token scopes does the GitHub MCP server need?"
- "How do I add an MCP server to Cursor?"
