Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Canonical shelf is Ship / security because the server is positioned as preflight and KYA due diligence before you rely on external agents in production-bound work. Security subphase matches trust scoring, preflight checks, and agent vetting rather than feature coding or marketing.
How it compares
Agent-trust and KYA MCP service, not a code linter or a single-task weather integration.
