Our assessment of mcp
mcp scores 44/100 on our quality scale, 4320th of 4,594 Development & Engineering skills we index.
Its Cursor Rules is 510 bytes long, lightly structured (1 heading) and no code examples: fairly brief, so expect to fill in details yourself.
It has no GitHub stars yet, so there is no community track record; judge it on its content.
Maintenance, license and trust
- The repository was last updated about 5 months ago. That is recent enough to be usable, but agent tooling moves fast, so check the instructions against your agent's current version.
- Our last check on 2026-10-18 found the source still online.
- No license is declared. By default that means all rights are reserved: you can read it, but reusing or redistributing it is not clearly permitted. Ask the author before building on it commercially.
- Its trust signals score 78/100, with 2 cautions from licensing, adoption, age or documentation. These come from repository metadata, not a code audit — read the skill file before letting an agent act on it.

MCP Tool Usage
Project routing on top of each MCP server’s own instructions:
- Search / research: Prefer Perplexity (
user-perplexity:perplexity_search,perplexity_ask) over the built-inweb_searchtool. Ask full questions with enough context; avoid bare keyword queries. - Libraries & NPM: Use Context7 (
user-context7):resolve-library-id, thenquery-docs. Before relying on a package, read its docs and pair that with a Perplexity pass for usage context.
