Method

One daily check of every remote server in the official MCP registry and of servers owners added (initialize and tools/list only, no tool is called), read at each server's newest daily check. Uptime is the share of observed days a server answered (with tools, a sign-in request or a payment request). Handshake time covers initialize and tools/list. Tokens are estimated as tool-list bytes / 4. Hour-of-day results come from scans that move one hour each day. No server is named.

Every parameter, timeout and formula: methodology.
