Our assessment of mcp
mcp scores 38/100 on our quality scale, 437th of 441 Education & Research skills we index.
Its Cursor Rules is 818 bytes long, lightly structured (2 headings) 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
- We could not determine when the repository was last updated.
- 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 68/100, with 3 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.

Web search and research using Perplexity
Use the mcp_perplexity-ask_perplexity_search tools to answer questions. You should use this instead of the web_search tool because it is a lot more accurate.
Give the tool a full question and include all the relevant context, rather than generic search terms.
NPM package, documentation, interfaces and code search
Use the Context7 MCP server tools to search for NPM packages, documentation, TypeScript interfaces and code.
First resolve the package library ID using mcp_context7_resolve-library-id, then use mcp_context7_get-library-docs to get the documentation.
Before using any NPM package, read its documentation and understand its interfaces. Always combine this with a Perplexity search for additional usage information.
