Each guide is generated from the live AgentRank index — a nightly crawl of 25,000+ MCP server repositories on GitHub. Tools are scored from five signals:
- Stars (15%) — raw popularity signal
- Freshness (25%) — days since last commit; stale tools decay hard after 90 days
- Issue health (25%) — ratio of closed to total issues; measures maintainer responsiveness
- Contributors (10%) — more contributors means lower bus-factor risk
- Dependents (25%) — how many repos depend on this; the strongest adoption signal
