Partial The lookup API, search UI, and config audit endpoint are buildable quickly. The defensible part is the dataset of nearly 49,000 MCP servers with health and ownership evidence, which requires continuous crawling, ongoing verification, and proprietary scoring logic.
What it would actually take: The stack would be a crawler for MCP registries and GitHub repos, a database with change tracking, and an API and MCP endpoint on top. The hard parts are the crawling and evidence-scoring pipeline and keeping the data fresh and trustworthy. Doing that well requires data engineering and security-analysis expertise plus sustained infrastructure costs.
