Frequently asked questions

Direct answers about what MCPizy lists, what its evidence proves, how installation works and what publishers can pay for.

Directory

What is MCPizy?

MCPizy is an independent directory and comparison layer for Model Context Protocol servers. It helps readers shortlist a server, inspect the evidence that is available, and find the install path for their client.

Do I need an account to browse the directory?

No. Server profiles, comparisons, install guidance and published CheckMCP evidence are public. Reading the directory does not require a subscription or account.

How should I choose between two MCP servers?

Start with the client and task you need, then compare setup, repository evidence, documented authentication and available audit coverage. A missing field is an unknown, not a zero and not a pass.

Evidence

Does every server have a CheckMCP audit grade?

No. MCPizy explicitly labels unaudited listings instead of implying they are safe. Where a grade exists, it is published as measured, including low grades.

What does a linked source repository prove?

A linked repository gives you a source to inspect; it does not by itself prove maintenance, security, licence quality or compatibility. Those facts need their own evidence and verification date.

Can a publisher pay for a better grade or ranking?

No. Fast-Track can accelerate review and buy a clearly identified featured placement, but it cannot change a CheckMCP grade, factual profile, editorial comparison or organic ranking.

Installation

Which MCP clients does MCPizy cover?

Profiles may include setup paths for VS Code, Cursor, Claude Code and Copilot. Actual compatibility and required credentials remain server-specific, so check both the MCPizy profile and upstream documentation before installation.

Can I install from the command line?

Yes. The optional MCPizy CLI can search the public catalogue and add a listed server to Claude Code with `npx mcpizy install <slug>`. You can also copy the upstream command or client-specific configuration from the profile.

Does no documented authentication mean no authentication is required?

No. It only means the profile does not currently document an authentication step. Treat that as incomplete coverage and verify the upstream setup instructions.

Publishing

How much does it cost to list a server?

A standard listing is free and normally reviewed up to four weeks. Fast-Track is $49 once, published within 24 h and featured for 72 hours after acceptance.

When is Fast-Track charged?

Only after the server is accepted. The submission form never charges a card; if the review succeeds, MCPizy emails the $49 payment link. A rejected server is not charged.

What does the review check?

The review checks that the submission is an MCP server, that it can run from the documented setup, and that another person can follow the installation instructions. Better source evidence can be submitted later as a correction.
