Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

    The website host matches the reverse-domain namespace.

  • Pass
    Source repo linked

    A repository URL is on file.

  • Not measured
    Repo owner matches

    This namespace is not an io.github login, so the owner comparison does not apply.

Capabilities

Tools 4

get_tool

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.

Discovered
list_best

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.

Discovered
search_tools

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).

Discovered
trending

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).
