    • The name "get_connect_config" says "get": a word for reading.
    • The description's first verb is "generate": a word for a change.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_server" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Fetch the full mcpnav record for one server by its slug (from search_servers' results, e.g. "owner/repo"). Call get_connect_config next for a ready-to-paste install snippet.
  • list_groupsList the category groups servers are organized into, each with its indexable server count.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "list_groups" says "list": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    List the category groups servers are organized into, each with its indexable server count.
  • search_serversSearch the mcpnav directory of MCP servers by name/description keywords, optionally filtered to one category group.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "search_servers" says "search": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Search the mcpnav directory of MCP servers by name/description keywords, optionally filtered to one category group. Matches are whole-word, case-insensitive, and require every query word to appear (AND); a match in the server's name ranks above a match only in its description. Call list_groups first if you want a valid `group` value.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
