Category Search and Retrieval
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security74
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability68
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 600 tokens (~150/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management70
- Stability observed for 21 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage93
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 75% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
- Structured output schemas are declared (25% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 5 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
get_tool Get tool details ~59
Full details for one tool by its Plug and Ship slug (from search_tools): description, stars, install command, remote endpoint, license, tags and last commit.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| slug | string | yes | Tool slug, e.g. 'github-mcp-server' |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_best Best-of list ~84
A ranked best-of list by topic, e.g. 'grok-bot-connectors', 'voice-agents', 'local-models', 'figma-mcp-servers', 'mcp-servers-for-databases'. Omit topic to list all topics.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

| limit | integer | – | – |
| topic | string | – | Topic slug; omit to list topics |
No output schema declared.

search_tools Search agent tools ~270
Find MCP servers, agent skills (SKILL.md) and coding-agent plugins for a task. Pass a plain-language task (e.g. 'query my Postgres from Cursor', 'post to Slack from Claude Code') or keywords. The task is parsed for kind (MCP/skill/plugin), client (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, VS Code), remote vs local and language; results are ranked by relevance (full-text + semantic match), with stars, recent commits, a valid one-click config and a license only as tie-breakers. Every result explains why it matches. type, client and remote are strict filters (client grok-bot = MCP servers with a public HTTPS endpoint).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| client | string | – | Only tools that name this coding agent (grok-bot: hosted HTTPS MCP servers) |
| limit | integer | – | Max results, default 10 |
| query | string | – | Keywords or a short task, e.g. 'postgres', 'browser automation', 'query my Postgres from Cursor' |
| remote | boolean | – | Only MCP servers with a public HTTPS endpoint (nothing to install) |
| task | string | – | What you want to do, in plain language. Used instead of query when given. |
| type | string | – | Only this kind of tool |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| count | number | yes | – |
| interpreted | – | yes | – |
| query | string | yes | – |
| results | array | yes | – |

trending Trending tools ~95
Fastest-growing MCP servers, skills and plugins: stars gained in the period (day, week or month) from Plug and Ship's own daily star snapshots. While less than one period of history exists, a damped lifetime velocity fills in (repos with 20+ stars and a commit in the last 30 days).

How do I install the Plug and Ship MCP server?
Plug and Ship is a hosted endpoint at https://plugandship.dev/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.
