Reliability
Whether the server starts consistently, completes the MCP handshake, and behaves as its tool declarations claim.
FOLLOWMCP REVIEW SCORE
FMRS scoring method
FollowMCP automatically evaluates servers across five explainable dimensions from source material. Scores total 100 and cannot be bought.
Security and permissions
Whether permissions, credentials, data boundaries, and side effects are clear and follow least privilege.
Maintenance
Whether releases, commits, issue responses, and dependency updates remain active.
Documentation
Whether setup, auth, tool parameters, limits, and troubleshooting are documented with verifiable detail.
Setup experience
The number and complexity of steps from obtaining dependencies to a working connection in major clients.
Scoring rules
- Each dimension is scored independently from 0–20 with a written rationale.
- Missing evidence lowers a score; brand recognition never fills the gap.
- Material security findings, permission boundaries, and side effects must remain visible.
- Upstream metadata and revisions refresh automatically, and scores can be regenerated from current evidence.
