Honest comparison

My MCP Shelf vs skills.sh

Agent-skills directory with security grades from multiple auditors.

skills.sh is the closest competitor in philosophy: they grade listings (SAFE / CAUTION / UNSAFE / UNAUDITED) and pull audits from Gen Agent Trust Hub, Socket, and Snyk. Their focus is skills; ours is MCP servers.

My MCP Shelf 4,200+ listed · verified subset security-scanned
vs
skills.sh ~20 agent pages, broad skill listings

Common Questions

Are you trying to replace skills.sh?

No. skills.sh is excellent for agent skills and harness components. We are the directory for the MCP servers underneath those skills. Many developers use both.

Whose security grades are more reliable?

Both use multiple sources. Our differentiator is the execution-test harness: we actually spin up verified servers and confirm they complete an MCP handshake. That is ground truth, not a proxy.

Do you list skills too?

Yes — we have Agent Skills and Cursor Skills sections. But our primary depth is MCP servers, where we run the unified recheck pipeline (tasks 13/14/19).

Need servers, not just skills?

Browse MCP servers with execution-tested badges, security grades, and per-agent install commands.
