# The MCP Registry, By the Numbers

> Originally published on [DevToolHub](https://devtoolhub.com/mcp-registry-by-the-numbers/).

We pulled every entry from the official MCP registry API. As of September 10, 2026: **30,375 unique servers** from 99,114 version records, ~3x growth since May 2026.

## The count is top-heavy

Top 10 publishers = 17.7% of the registry. The largest account has 1,505 single-function micro-tools. 276 entries share the exact string "Premium agentic endpoint for [x]-mcp."

## Remote won

55% remote-only (almost all `streamable-http`), 39% local packages (npm leads, then PyPI, then Claude Desktop bundles).

## Most servers aren't maintained

62% have one version. 41% are still on a first release. ~36% not updated in 3+ months — they predate the 2026-07-28 spec changes.

## No safety signal

The schema has no auth field, no security review, no uptime check. 23% link no source repo (37% for remote-only). `com.anthropic` has zero entries.
