Mcp Scorecard
Score any MCP server for agent-readiness before you wire it into Claude Code or Cursor so you catch weak schemas and unsafe patterns early.
Overview
io.github.davidmosiah/mcp-scorecard is an MCP server for the build phase that scores any MCP server on agent-readiness using 10 checks and a 0–100 scale with actionable findings.
What is this MCP server?
- Runs 10 structured agent-readiness checks against a target MCP server
- Produces a 0–100 composite score with actionable findings per check
- Stdio npm package (mcp-scorecard) for Claude Code, Cursor, and other MCP clients
- Surfaces gaps in schemas, tool descriptions, and agent-usability before production use
- Actionable output oriented toward fixing issues, not pass/fail only
- [object Object]
What problem does it solve?
Picking or shipping an MCP server without knowing if tools, schemas, and descriptions will confuse your agent leads to broken automations and wasted integration time.
Who is it for?
Builders comparing MCP servers or maintaining their own MCP who want a quick, structured agent-readiness audit via stdio in an existing MCP client.
Skip if: Teams that only need runtime monitoring of production traffic or a non-MCP security scanner with no focus on agent tool quality.
What do I get? / Deliverables
You get a numeric readiness score, per-check results, and fix-first guidance so you can adopt, reject, or harden MCP servers before they touch your real workflow.
- 0–100 agent-readiness score for the target MCP server
- Findings across 10 readiness checks
- Actionable remediation guidance tied to failed or weak checks
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Solo builders adopt MCP servers during the build phase while assembling agent tooling; a scorecard belongs on the agent-tooling shelf even though you may re-run it before ship. Agent-tooling is where you pick, configure, and trust third-party MCP servers—this server exists to qualify those choices with a standardized 0–100 readiness grade.
How it compares
MCP quality-audit server for other MCPs, not a domain integration or a reusable agent skill.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is io.github.davidmosiah/mcp-scorecard for?
Solo builders and small teams who integrate MCP servers into Claude Code, Cursor, or similar agents and want a consistent readiness review before trusting a server.
When should I use io.github.davidmosiah/mcp-scorecard?
Use it when evaluating a new MCP dependency, after upgrading an MCP package, or before publishing your own MCP server to agents.
How do I add io.github.davidmosiah/mcp-scorecard to my agent?
Install the npm package mcp-scorecard, register it as a stdio MCP server in your client config, then invoke its scoring tools against the MCP server you want to audit.
