1 in 10 MCP servers in official registry are broken, audit finds
An audit of the official MCP server registry found that 10.1% of 297 remote endpoints are genuinely broken, with DNS failures, server errors, and 404s. Another 45.1% require authentication, leading to a common but misleading claim that half are dead. The remaining 44.8% completed a handshake successfully.
Meridian48 take
The 10% failure rate is notable but not alarming; the bigger story is how easily a misinterpretation of auth-gated servers became accepted wisdom.

I checked every MCP server in the official registry. About 1 in 10 is broken. →
