Claim Your Verified Badge
We trust-scored nearly 2,000 MCP servers, AI skills, and packages. 235 cleared the Verified bar. If yours is one of them, you can now claim a free gold badge — one click, no fee, no upsell.
Most repos at that level come from Anthropic, AWS, or Auth0. Plenty of them ship from a single maintainer. Either way, a high score is hard-won, and until now there was no clean way to show it. Verified fixes that.
What Verified means
Verified is the top trust tier in our scoring model. A repo earns it by clearing every one of these, with no exceptions and the same criteria for everyone:
- Composite score of 7.0 or higher out of 10.
- Dimension floors met across all four areas — Alive (maintained), Legit (credible authorship), Solid (secure), Usable (documented and licensed).
- No disqualifiers — no critical CVEs on installable versions, no supply-chain red flags, no safety blocks.
Out of 1,995 scored projects, 235 (about 12%) meet that bar. The full methodology shows every signal that goes into it.
How to claim it
It takes about 30 seconds:
- Go to your score page:
mcpskills.io/score/your-owner/your-repo. - If you're eligible, you'll see a "Claim your Verified badge" button. Enter your email and confirm.
- You'll get a confirmation with a copyable README snippet. That's it.
Not sure of your score? Scan your repo from the homepage or browse the full directory.
What you get
- The gold Verified badge for your README — it renders live and refreshes automatically as your project changes.
- A listing on the public Verified wall.
- A heads-up if your score ever drops below the threshold, so the badge never lies on your behalf.
Two badges, one endpoint
Every scored repo already has a live trust badge. There are two visual variants from the same URL: a neutral score badge that any repo can embed to show its current composite, and the gold Verified badge that appears once an eligible maintainer claims it. See the badges page for embed snippets.
Why it's free
A trust signal that costs money isn't a trust signal — it's an ad. Verified is free because the point is to make the safe choice the obvious one at the moment before install. If the badge in your README helps one developer trust your work faster, it's done its job.
The pre-install moment should have a trust check. Verified is how good work gets to prove it.
