Map the MCP server ecosystem against the official specification, separating protocol facts from directory metadata and time-sensitive adoption counts.

Research, as of July 13, 2026, the Model Context Protocol server ecosystem. Shared research protocol: define the MCP protocol version and July 13, 2026 cutoff. Treat the official specification, release notes, SDK, and repository documentation as authoritative for protocol behavior; use maintained server repositories, package metadata, reproducible tests, vulnerability databases, advisories, and documented incidents for implementation evidence. Cite every material claim with version, date, repository, and test conditions where applicable. Cross-check compatibility, maintenance, adoption, and security claims; label unknown, single-source, stale, or conflicting evidence. Separate protocol guarantees from SDK behavior, implementation choices, directory metadata, and future proposals. Common outputs must include scope, sampling, evidence grades, reproducible checks, limitations, unresolved questions, and references. Task module: Map resources, prompts, tools, implementation patterns, hosting, and ecosystem gaps; deliver a protocol capability map, server taxonomy, implementation comparison, maintenance evidence, gaps, and evaluation checklist. Do not infer compatibility or security from listing metadata, popularity, or self-description; do not use directory totals as security evidence.

Developer tooling survey

Change the lens to developer tooling and align comparison fields to setup, compatibility, debugging, and operations.

Security review

Change the lens to defensive security and align threat surfaces, evidence selection, controls, and operator guidance to trust boundaries.

Registry quality audit

Change the task to a directory audit, aligning sources and output to deduplication, freshness, provenance, and coverage.
