What you can do

What your AI can do with The MCP Census

Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.

“Use “census_lookup”: Get the live health verdict for one MCP server by its exact registry name (e.g. 'io.github.owner/name'). Returns stars, last-push recency, g.”

“Use “census_search”: Search MCP servers by keyword or partial name (e.g. 'github', 'postgres'). Returns ranked matches with health/trust. Also returns: resolved_.”

“Use “census_stats”: Ecosystem headline numbers from the live census (same payload as GET /v1/stats). Unmetered. Returns total servers, healthy/issues counts, po.”

“Use “census_recent”: Newest MCP servers by real first_seen_at (same payload as GET /v1/recent). Unmetered. Only rows with a known first-seen date — never invents.”

Security check

How secure is the The MCP Census MCP server?

Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how The MCP Census holds up.

✓ Verified directory serverThe MCP Census · mcpcensus.com

Official endpoint

Operated by The MCP Census (mcpcensus.com) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.

No sign-in needed

This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.

Scanned before it goes live

gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.

Watched for drift

If The MCP Census adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Is there an official The MCP Census MCP server?

Yes — The MCP Census operates its own remote MCP server at api.mcpcensus.com. gate connects you to that official endpoint and adds security scanning, per-tool access rules, and an activity log on top.

How do I connect The MCP Census to Claude or ChatGPT?

Add gate's gateway URL to your AI client once, then pick The MCP Census in the directory. No account or sign-in is needed. From then on, The MCP Census's tools are available in every client you've connected to gate.

Do I need to host anything?

No. The MCP Census runs the server, and gate is fully managed. You just connect one URL — there's nothing to install, deploy, or maintain.

Is the The MCP Census MCP server safe to connect?

It's the vendor's official endpoint, and gate scans its tools for prompt injection and hidden instructions before it goes live, re-checks it whenever it changes, and lets you allow, block, or require approval for every single tool.
