Public story · 2026-02-25 · source-backed
An analysis of 1,412 company-operated MCP servers (up 232% from 425 in Aug 2025, 301 new in February alone) reveals: 81% from companies under 200 employees. 50% of companies with MCP servers don't even have a public API — MCP is their first machine-readable interface. 38.7% require zero authentication, 22.9% have wide-open CORS, 2.4% implement rate limiting. Builder opportunity: MCP security tooling is wide open. Auth middleware, rate limiting proxies, security scanners. (Bloomberry)
