MCPbeat Pinged the Official MCP Registry and Found 2,326 Servers That Never Answer
MCPbeat, posted to Show HN on September 1, ranks MCP servers by measured uptime rather than GitHub stars: it pinged 15,338 remote endpoints, of which 12,459 currently answer protocol handshakes every 15 minutes, while 2,326 are listed as active in the official registry and never respond. Scoring is 40 points for answering, up to 40 for weekly npm/PyPI downloads on a log scale, and up to 20 for tools read directly via tools/list. Note the Show HN title advertised "26,000 servers pinged, 2,300 dead" while the site's own dashboard reports 15,338 pinged, so cite the dashboard figures; either way roughly 15% of the registry is a phantom directory.
