Signals

These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.

Signal	Value	What it measures	Window	Observed	Source
GitHub stars	129	Number of GitHub accounts that bookmarked this repository since it was created. It is a bookmark count, not installs, not active users and not quality.	cumulative, all time	2026-08-06	GitHub
Last commit	2026-07-30	Date of the most recent push to any branch. This is the strongest cheap indicator of whether the project is still maintained.	point in time	2026-08-06	GitHub
Open issues	0	Open issues plus open pull requests, as GitHub counts them together. A high number can mean an active project or an abandoned one.	as of fetch	2026-08-06	GitHub
Latest published version	2.10.2	Latest version string the maintainer published to the registry.	as of fetch	2026-07-26	Model Context Protocol

First listed in the MCP Registry	2026-07-26	Date this server was first published to the official MCP Registry. Not a usage or quality measure.	point in time	2026-07-26	Model Context Protocol

These share tags the maintainers applied themselves, such as biomedical, cyanheads, pubmed, open-access. Common tags like "mcp" or "ai" are ignored for this: agreeing with six hundred other projects is not a similarity.

This is not a recommendation and not a test result. It is a map of what the authors said their work is about.
